Twitter employees will find out whether or not they've been laid off via an email called 'Your Role at Twitter,' company says

Thousands of Twitter staffers will be finding out if their jobs are affected by Elon Musk's layoffs on Friday morning at 9 a.m. pacific time.
Per an internal memo which was sent to employees on Thursday, the terms of people's employment will be sent to either their personal or professional inboxes, Insider's Kali Hays reported. Those whose employment is affected will be receive notice in their personal emails. Those whose employment is not affected will be notified via their work emails, per Musk's memo.
Around 3,700 Twitter employees are expected to be hit with Musk's planned layoffs.
All of the company's offices are being temporarily closed and all badge access will be suspended, the memo said.
"If you are in an office or on your way to an office, please return home," the memo stated.
Shortly after 8 p.m. PT on Thursday night, some employees started to get locked out Slack and email, Insider reported.
Some employees have already begun updating their professional channels about being impacted by the layoffs, with many of them expressing frustration at having received no communication of their impending departures.
"I got logged off company Gmail and slack in the evening along with my teammates. No communication or notice whatsoever," one staffer, whose profile says she worked for Twitter for almost two years, wrote in a LinkedIn post late on Thursday.
Another employee wrote on LinkedIn: "Just got remotely logged out of my company laptop and removed from Twitter Slack. So sad it had to end this way." The employee had worked as a community manager at Twitter for just over a year, per their profile.
"I had the pleasure of working with amazing Tweeps who showed incredible resilience and compassion during this entire ordeal. This isn't what we asked for but we made the best of it," another staff member, a data program manager who had been at the company for eight months, wrote on LinkedIn.
Advice is also pouring in for affected employees.
Lawyer Lisa Bloom tweeted late Thursday: "CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff," adding, "I know you didn't get that notice."
