Polygon's headline and the conclusion drawn in this post are extremely misleading. The workers in question have not been "laid off", they had timed contracts which did not get renewed. This also doesn't apply to all the people in question, as partially explained here e.g.: https://twitter.com/TheSigularity/status/1710893151601463535?t=nEaaPAixJgqK3eBnQI047A&s=19

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1710443487110336645
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
