‘It’s a nightmare’: Twitter’s New York City janitors protest over sudden layoffs

Workers received no warning before the termination of their jobs in December, shortly after Elon Musk's takeover of the company

Laureta, a single mother and janitor for years at Twitter's offices in New York City, would like Elon Musk, one of the world's richest people and the new owner of the social media giant, to know just how he ruined her Christmas.

Like other janitors at Twitter - and many other employees at the troubled company, which has shed thousands of staff - she said she never received any explanation for her sudden layoff.
