In its most recent round of layoffs, Twitter reportedly fired more than a dozen international workers, including staff from the division in charge of the platform's disinformation policy.
Those laid off include Nur Azhar Bin Ayob, who was appointed head of site integrity for the Asia-Pacific region, and Analuisa Dominguez, senior director of revenue policy at Twitter.
The Recent Layoff Follows A String Of Employee Cuts Under Musk's Leadership
Along with a few staff members working on the platform's worldwide appeals procedure and state media program, Twitter also let go of staffers in charge of managing the company's disinformation policy.
According to Engadget, Twitter's head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, acknowledged that the company recently made additional job reductions, but she disputed which teams were affected.
Irwin asserts that it made more sense to combine teams under a single manager and that Twitter cut positions in areas where the company didn't perceive sufficient "volume" to warrant the expense in people.
She then adds that Twitter will continue to have a head of revenue policy and that its appeals department will now have more people.
It can be remembered that early in November, Elon Musk reduced costs at Twitter by firing about 3,700 workers; a few hundred more followed suit.
Despite Musk's promise, Twitter has made personnel reductions, even though the scale hasn't been as severe as it was in the immediate aftermath of his takeover.
It can be remembered that halfway through the month, the social network let go of several employees in its infrastructure segment.
According to Engadget, the company employs about 2,000 people, which is little over 25% fewer than it did before to Musk's acquisition.
Only recently, a lawsuit was also filed against the platform last month, alleging that the social network company unfairly singled out female employees for layoffs, Reuters reports.

A Bunch Of Former Twitter Employees Are Receiving Severance Pays For The Layoffs
After waiting for two months, hundreds of Twitter employees who were part of Musk's initial round of layoffs recently received severance paperwork.
With that, they now have to decide if they want to file lawsuits against the business and its billionaire owner or whether to join them.
However, many laid off workers were debating signing away their rights in exchange for one month of severance even before they got their agreements.
According to Business Insider, one of the recipients of the agreement stated that they would not sign it and would instead take part in one of the numerous lawsuits currently in progress.
Meanwhile, the separation agreements appear to be largely boilerplate and provide laid-off employees with one month of pay as severance.
It can be remembered that this comes around after Musk tweeted on November 4 that "everyone exited" had been given a 3 month severance package, which he said was 50% more than what was legally required.
Note that companies are required by state labor laws to provide specific notice periods for mass layoffs, Business Insider writes.
