- A Twitter employee said it was a "bummer" to get laid off while eight months pregnant.
- The software engineer, who's worked at Twitter since 2019, said she's proud she'd been a "Tweep."
A Twitter engineer who was eight months pregnant said it was a "bummer" to lose her job as part of Elon Musk's mass layoffs.
Malabika Das $4 on November 4: "Proud to 've been part of the $4 community! Built valuable relationships, learned from extremely talented engineers and got to know some amazing people in the 3 yrs I spent here. Bummer that this happened while 8 months pregnant. Still, #LoveWhereYouWorked."
—Malabika Das (@das_malabika) $4
The software engineer joined Twitter in December 2019 in San Francisco, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Her tweet came the same day Twitter told around 3,700 staff $4 that they'd been laid off.
Twitter management told employees the day before that they would get an email by 9:00 a.m. PST if they had lost their jobs. However, some staff had $4 the night before.
That happened to a content-marketing manager at Twitter, who was also eight months pregnant at the time, when she got $4.
After the mass cuts on November 4, Musk gave the remaining staff an ultimatum in a $4, telling them to either sign up for an "extremely hardcore" work culture, or resign.
About $4 chose to quit and Twitter later $4 to the company.
Twitter and Das did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider.
