Twitter Inc. laid off at least 200 staff members on Saturday night, which would make about 10% of people still employed there, the New York Times (NYT) reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

According to the report, the majority of workers found out they were likely to be fired after realizing they were no longer logged in to their company e-mail accounts and laptops. The remaining employees were not given a list of people that were laid off so they did not know who they were left to work with the next day.

Earlier, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Twitter laid off more people over the weekend without specifying the figure.
