A Twitter worker on leave to care for his son who's battling cancer says he's been let go

Hernan is one of the thousands of employees who have lost their jobs. He's been taking care of his son who has cancer while he's on vacation.

"NewTwitter" let him down when he needed it the most, as he was taking care of his son who was fighting cancer.

We will get through this just like we have always done it, he said.

Getting medical insurance as soon as possible is what I am looking forward to.

"Well, this is it," said the engineer manager who joined Twitter. I enjoyed my time here because of you.

There are other people who have been laid off in similar circumstances. A pregnant woman was locked out of her work computer the night before mass layoffs were to be announced.

The communication team didn't reply to Insider's request for comment.

Musk said on Friday that he had no choice but to make cuts as he claimed that the social media platform was losing money. Employees have been let go.

Since Musk took over, there has been a lot of activity at the micro-blogging site.
