Apart from this, the communication also wrote, "To help ensure the safety of each employee as well as Twitter systems and customer data, our offices will be temporarily closed and all badge access will be suspended. If you are in an office or on your way to an office, please return home."

The mail also noted the employees will have to face an incredible challenging experience, adding, that this action is taken to ensure the company's success moving ahead.

Earlier on 3 November, a class-action lawsuit was filed in San Francisco federal court where Twitter employees say the company is doing without enough notice in violation of federal and California law.

The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act restricts large companies from mounting mass layoffs without at least 60 days of advance notice.

The lawsuit asks the court to issue an order requiring Twitter to obey the WARN Act, and restricting the company from soliciting employees to sign documents that could give up their right to participate in litigation.

“We filed this lawsuit tonight in an attempt the make sure that employees are aware that they should not sign away their rights and that they have an avenue for pursuing their rights," Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney who filed Thursday’s complaint, said in an interview.
