Tech Layoffs: Musk Further Downsizes Twitter’s Workforce, Lays Off More Than 50 Employees

0

CEO of Twitter Elon Musk has further downsized the company’s workforce, after he was reported to have laid of more than 50 employees last week.

The cuts were reportedly across departments, including ad tech and technical infrastructure teams that help to keep the platform up and running.

According to Zoe Schiffer who covers the company for platformer, via her Twitter handle disclosed that the layoffs came with lot of surprises, noting that it included hardcore Musk loyalists.

She wrote, “Wow the layoffs last night included a ton of surprises. Hardcore Musk loyalists (more on that soon…) and the founder of the newsletter platform Revue that Twitter acquired in 2021.”

Also, some affected employees took to Twitter to disclose that they discovered they have been sacked when they could not access the company’s communication platform, Slack.  

A senior product manager Martijn de Kuijper via his Twitter handle, disclosed that he got to know about his sack after being locked out of his email account. He wrote, “Waking up to find I’ve being locked out of my email. Looks like i’m let go. Now my Revue journey is really over”.

The recent layoff of workers is reported to be the fourth set of layoffs being carried out at Twitter since Musk took over the company in October 2022. The company’s headcount is reported to have fallen by over 70% and its chief source of revenue, advertising has fallen significantly.

Before acquiring Twitter and becoming its CEO, Elon Musk reportedly told investors he planned to slash the company’s staff by about 75%. Though he later denied that plan, but eventually went ahead to drastically reduce the company’s workforce. 

More than 3,000 employees were slashed in the first round of the company’s mass layoffs on November 4. The platform at the end of October 2022, had lost more than an estimated three-quarters of its staff to layoffs and voluntary departures.

Meanwhile Twitter seems not to be the only tech company that has further downsized its workforce. Social media giant Meta is also set to further trim its workforce after cutting 11,000 jobs last year. Meta’s proposed job cuts is coming after Mark Zuckerberg had earlier assured workers that he wasn’t anticipating any more layoffs.

According to a recent report, the layoffs of tech workers in the opening two months of 2023 have surpassed the number of tech layoffs for the whole of last year.

Statistics reveal that in 2023, over 108,000 tech workers have been laid off so far, which represents 67.2% of the total amount of tech layoffs recorded in the whole of last year, which is about 160,997. With no sign of a slowdown in the current economic factors, there are possibilities that more tech companies will lay off their workforce.

Open Invitation to A Global Virtual Symposium on Research Innovations in Sustainable Marketing (RISM 2023)

0

The Centre for Economic Governance and Leadership (CEGL) at the University of Kigali, is pleased to invite the University Community and other interested parties to attend the forthcoming Research Innovations in Sustainable Marketing (RISM 2023): A Global Virtual Symposium. CEGL would be playing a key role in chairing Track 2 on Greenwashing and Implications for Sustainable Marketing on 15 March 2023.

RISM is the first global online symposium to bring together leading scholars to share their insights on the successful integration of the triple bottom line: economic success, environmental stewardship and supply chain equity. The symposium will be held virtually across three days, scheduled between March 14 – 16, 2023. In addition to a well-known keynote speaker and concurrent sessions, RISM2023 will hold roundtable discussion sessions to facilitate connections among scholars and practitioners with similar research interests. RISM 2023 is endorsed by business schools around the world and will provide a unique opportunity to build global ties among individuals who are committed to environmental stewardship and sustainable marketing.

Track 2 Contributions

Currently four presentations are scheduled in Track 2 featuring authors from across the globe from Monash University Malaysia, through the Australian National University, to the University of Southern Mississippi, USA. Topics range from conversations around “corporate hypocrisy” to the scandals over “corporate social advocacy and greenwashing”. Currently Track 2 has in its line-up the following contributions:

  1. From Corporate Hypocrisy to Consumer Protest: The Role of Moral Outrage and Mobilization Networks.
  2. The Scandal of Corporate Social Advocacy Initiatives as Corporate Hypocrisy: The Dual Mediation Role of Consumer Perceptions of Transparency and Customer Trust.
  3. What Do These Tweets Mean for Us? How Analysis of Consumer Tweets Sheds Light on Consumers CSR Beliefs and Firm Confidence.
  4. Green or Greenwashed? Examining Whether and When Consumers are Able to Identify Greenwashing.

Why it matters?

This event is particularly expedient considering that CEGL has not too long highlighted Rwanda’s Green Initiative efforts at sustainable consumption and the ban on single use plastic.

It also serves as was a follow-up to an article featured in the “Global Challenges” theme of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) Blue Charter programme entitled The plastic bag charge in England: who is it benefiting? which was based upon more detailed academic research Are retailers “bagging” the carrier bag levy in England? An exploratory enquiry

RISM 2023 complements the Ninth session of the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD-9) with the theme “Accelerating the inclusive and green recovery from multiple crises and the integrated and full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063” taking place in Niamey, Niger (and online), between 28 February and 2 March, 2023.  

The ARFSD-9 will also serve as a platform for the sharing of experiences, good practices and lessons learned in efforts to implement the two agendas. Participants will also be afforded the opportunity to “identify and build a consensus on policy options and actions, to be adopted in the form of key messages and a declaration, to drive actions towards accelerated, inclusive, and green recovery from the multiple crises alongside the full implementation of the two Agendas.” 

Going forward, it is expected that “the key messages and the declaration will also serve as the collective African input to the 2023 high-level political forum on sustainable development, to be held in New York from 10 to 20 July 2023; and Sustainable Developments Goals Summit at Heads of State and Government high level week in September 2023.”

0
collateral

The outlook for 2023 is filled with excitement and anticipation as new projects like Collateral Network (COLT) and Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) are beginning to show extreme potential. Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) is a new decentralized investment platform focused on venture capital and is currently in phase 6 of its presale. Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) has already seen an impressive 1815% rally. Collateral Network (COLT) is a crowdlending platform that generates a lot of excitement from analysts, who predict gains of up to 3500%. Solana is a high-performance blockchain platform with a reputation for fast transaction speeds and low fees that has struggled for the whole of 2022 as the crypto winter has taken a massive toll.

Solana (SOL) 

Solana (SOL) is a high-efficiency blockchain network considered a fourth-generation blockchain. Although Solana (SOL) could not live up to its “Ethereum killer” nickname, it was still a viable alternative to Ethereum since Solana (SOL) allows faster transactions at cheaper rates.

The platform’s native token is SOL. It supports transactions and other platform functions, such as user rewards. Solana (SOL) has had an awful year, losing 94% of its value, and now has a market valuation of $4.2 billion.

Solana (SOL) is heavily focused on its NFT-related functionality, contributing considerably to its growing value. Solana (SOL) was a top performer the previous year, with a price gain of almost 720%. 

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) 

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) disrupts crowdfunding and venture capital, making these closed-off sectors available to retail investors. Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) will use fractionalized NFTs to represent equity.

Fundraising for startups becomes significantly easier with the Orbeon Protocol (ORBN). The fractionalized NFTs will let retail investors enter the market for as little as $1.

A “Fill or Kill” mechanism ensures that investors receive their money back if a startup fails to meet its financing target within the set time. Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) is heavily focused on security and has undergone a rigorous audit by Solid Proof.

ORBN, the project’s native token, gives holders various incentives, including staking bonuses and governance rights. ORBN is currently valued at $0.0766, following an 1815% increase, with experts expecting ORBN to reach $0.24 by the end of the presale.

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) ecosystem users may then purchase, trade, and even stake these NFTs on the Orbeon Market, a decentralized exchange specializing in crowdfunding.

Collateral Network (COLT)

Collateral Network (COLT) is a new and innovative crowdlending platform. Collateral Network (COLT) is the world’s first challenger lender, making it simple for borrowers worldwide to obtain funds from physical assets minted as equity-backed fractionalized NFTs on the blockchain. Collateral Network (COLT) allows users to act as their banks by lending money directly to borrowers.

The Collateral Network (COLT) mints NFTs against tangible assets before fractionalizing and funding the loans. Within a day, users will receive cash from their holdings. The Collateral Network (COLT) places a premium on security. All contractual information is stored in the NFT’s metadata and on the public blockchain, where it cannot be altered or amended. Collateral Network (COLT) has passed a stringent audit.

COLT, its native utility coin, powers Collateral Network. COLT presale will offer 50% of the total supply and begin at $0.01, with analysts predicting significant returns of up to 3500% during the next six months.

Obi Defeats Tinubu in Lagos State, APC’s Biggest Stronghold

0

Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi has won his counterpart, Bola Tinubu, of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Lagos – the most contested state in the February 25 House of Reps, senatorial and presidential election.

The result has turned a new leaf in favor of the Labour Party which polled 582,454 votes to trounce the APC that got 572,606 votes.

Other candidates, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), polled 75,750 and 8,442 to come third and fourth respectively.

Tinubu won 11 out of the 20 Local Governments of the state, but scored lower votes than Obi who won in strongholds such as Alimosho, Ojo and Oshodi-Isolo, Kosofe, Amuwo Odofin, amongst others.

The accredited votes in the state are 1,347,452, the total valid votes are 1,271,451, rejected votes 64,278 while the total votes cast 1,335,729, according to the results announced by the electoral commission, INEC.

Lagos tops other states with number of voters who collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) nationwide with 6,214,970 PVCs. The Southwest state leads three other states; Kano and Kaduna which have 5,594,193 and 4,164, 473 collected PVCs respectively. The total number of PVCs collected nationwide is 87, 209,007.

While Obi defeated Tinubu, the former Lagos State governor, the Labour Party has slammed INEC for conducting shambolic election, vowing to challenge the result. The party said its presidential candidate won with a wider margin than was published by INEC, which has been accused of doctoring results from polling units across Lagos State in favor of the APC.
