Highlights

  • The relaunch of the Twitter Blue service has been put on hold once again.
  • The Twitter Blue relaunch date was November 29th.
  • The Twitter Blue subscription price in India will be Rs.719.

In Brief

Things have changed drastically for Twitter as a social media company ever since Elon Musk took over it for a whopping $44 billion and became its official CEO on October 28, 2022.

Musk was embroiled in a courtroom battle with Twitter since the past year after offering to purchase the platform for the aforementioned price and later backing out of the deal abruptly, which left Twitter shareholders with no choice but to take the legal route.

Now, with Musk finally having taken over Twitter, he has laid off thousands of employees at a global level, including 90% of them from India alone, and no less than CEO Parag Agarwal.

On the other hand, he has also issued a whip to his employees via email to bring in a hardcore work culture of 40 hours a week with high intensity or risk losing their jobs, which was met with further protests.

This led to many employees resigning their jobs in protest, which didn’t seem to matter much to the Tesla CEO as he later announced that anyone who wanted a verification tick on the platform had to pay $7.99 for getting the Twitter Blue Subscription in numerous countries like US, Canada, and Australia, while Indian users needed to pay Rs.719 ($8.91 approx).

Twitter

Although Musk had announced the relaunch of Twitter Blue Subscription on November 29, it appears that he has halted the relaunch once again as he wants to make sure that there will be no room for impersonation.

Earlier the Twitter blue tick was handed out manually but will now be marked of Twitter Blue as that is the premium subscription model that Musk wants. It was available some weeks back but the billionaire CEO had it removed when it became replete with multiple fake ‘verified’ accounts.

Conclusion

Any user who wants a verification needed to go for Twitter Services to get the verified checkmark, which was how celebrities, official firms, and public figures, used to get an official verification, but now with the relaunch being put on hold, one can only wait for Musk’s further plan of action on the matter.

Highlights

  • Meta hopes to increase privacy measures on Facebook and Instagram
  • This decision is being taken keeping teenagers in mind and will be for their safety
  • Due to the ever increasing issues concerning user privacy, Meta has taken these measures to prevent any mishap from taking place

In Brief

When it comes to social media platforms, it all began in the mid-2000s with the launch of Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, which slowly captured the imagination of millions of people all over the world but now, in 2022, have become a think of the past.

This hasn’t diminished their popularity in any manner even though there are countless other platforms that have come up since then that are vying for public attention.

When it comes to teenagers, they have don’t have anything to do with the likes of Twitter because they’re more preoccupied with Facebook and Instagram without a care of thought for anything else.

It is the responsibility of any big tech organization to make sure that its platforms are safe for people of all age groups, especially small children and teenagers as they are the most susceptible to fraud or, especially on Instagram and Facebook that are littered with fake accounts.

There have been many complaints from teenagers regarding cyber bullying and online harassment from unscrupulous elements and none more so than the two aforementioned platforms.

This is why Meta has resorted to take drastic measures to counter any such attempts from cyber criminals that are constantly looking for a way to entrap youngsters and earn some quick bucks by hacking their account.

The company is going to roll out new privacy updates for teenagers on Facebook and Instagram so any individual that who has signed up on Facebook under age 16, or under age 18 in some countries, will be automatically placed in more private settings.

Meta has clarified on the issue on its official blogspot and all other social media platforms so that the message reaches to all sundry and everyone is alerted to the news, especially its target audience.

Meta Upgrades Privacy Updates for Teens

Fake accounts constantly DM (direct message) on the pretext of a new scheme or offer to earn money that many teenagers fall prey to, which is why Meta is testing certain methods so that teenagers are warned and prevented from messaging back to suspicious accounts they’re not connected to.

With this new method, no platform will display them in the ‘People You May Know’ recommendations, which was incidentally a way to connect with friends or make potential new ones.

In addition, Meta is also creating a number of tools for teenagers so that the company is immediately notified if they’re feeling any discomfort while using any applications, whilst developing some more tools to prevent self-generate photographs of intimacy from spreading online.

Elon Musk Issuing Employment Layoffs; Details Inside

Elon Musk
Elon Musk

Highlights

  • Twitter has been gutted and many countries almost all of Twitter workforce has been wiped off.
  • Elon Musk Sacked 50 per cent of Twitter workforce in the first week of November.
  • Layoffs didn’t end after that as Musk later fired even the ones who criticized him.

Brief Summary

Elon Musk is the richest man in the world at the moment and when he announces to buy one of the biggest social media platforms in the world, Twitter, then it will surely become the talk of the town.

It was in late 2021 when the Tesla CEO had expressed his desire to purchase Twitter for a whopping $44 billion, only to back out after the deal had been fixed, leaving Twitter owners with no choice but to take the legal route and settle things in court.

Now that Musk has purchased Twitter and become its CEO, it seems that things are changing drastically with the organization with the richest man in the world in charge of it.

For one, the new Twitter CEO is not taking anything lightly and is extremely particular about work culture, which is why he has constantly complained about its employees as he is finding the work culture there highly dissatisfying.

Musk has complained about Twitter hiring way too many employees than it can handle due to which the company’s expenses have skyrocketed, which is why on November 1, 2022, Musk had fired nearly half of the company’s employees, and that too just 4 days after acquiring the organization on October 28.

It seems that it is the same in many other countries as Musk seems to find the platform gutted, which is why he is terminating almost the entire Twitter workforce everywhere, including India, where almost 90% of Twitter’s 200+ employees have been laid off.

Elon Musk

Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal, along with its policy chief Vijaya Gadde, and Twitter CFO Ned Segal were shown the door within days of Musk acquiring Twitter, where he apparently also fired the entire board of directors in order to become the sole director of the organization.

Following the termination of nearly 3,700 employees in the first week of November 2022, Musk immediately issued an ultimatum via email to all the remaining ones where, apart from informing them of the layoffs, asked them to pull up their socks and start working for 40 hours a week to remain employed.

It is clear that the layoffs have been done at a global scale due to which many of them started protesting on social media, where the news spread like wildfire, resulting in people cursing and abusing Musk for taking such a decision.

However, Musk stood firm on his ground citing that the termination was necessary as the company needed to cut down their costs and improve financial condition as revenues from ad business had plummeted drastically.

As if this wasn’t enough, Musk has also fired those who have voiced their opposing opinions to the layoffs as a Twitter engineer was fired some days back for fact checking claims about the app running slowly, including 20 others who let Musk know about their thoughts on the matter on internal platforms like Slack.

Conclusion

Many software engineers and contract workers within the organization have resigned in protest, following Musk’s call for a hardcore culture where he asked the employees’ opinion on whether it was a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on working for 40 hours a week.

Google Plans to Fire Incompetent Employees; Performance Review

Performance Review
Google

Highlights

  • Google is reportedly planning to fire as many as 10000 underperforming employees.
  • The Big Tech company plans to get rid of nearly 6 per cent of its workforce.
  • Google plans to evaluate the performance of its employees.

In Brief

It seems Google is not going to take things lightly anymore when it comes to the competence of its employees. In the light of Elon Musk issuing a whip to Twitter employees to pull up their socks and start working 40 hours a week, Google seems to fancy stepping into Musk’s shoes.

Google will now be following the footsteps of its rival tech giants like Meta, Twitter, and Amazon, by firing as many as 10,000 underperforming and incompetent employees, which is around 6% of the total workforce that the company possesses under such dire global economic conditions.

The past few months have been quite rough for the employees of the aforementioned companies as many of them have been shown the door, but objectively speaking, it is their own incompetence and laziness that is to blame for such a thing happening to them.

If the latest reports are anything to go by, it seems that Google is going for a performance evaluation and review for which it is conducting a new ranking and improvement plant where its employees can work on their performance and improve them significantly.

However, the main purpose of this performance management system is to weed out employees that are no good and underperforming as the company has to bear the brunt of their worthlessness.

Performance Review

Once these employees are identified they will be asked to leave the company by the start of 2023, which is why this performance management system will come with a rating option so that team members can be rated accordingly as per their performance so that their bonuses and stock grants are fixed.

Needless to say, even in big tech companies, there are many employees that are slacking out at work or are putting in little to no effort to get the job done but thanks to this performance management system, managers can rate the employees and avoid giving them any bonus.

Alphabet is the parental company of Google that hasn’t yet confirmed the news of any layoffs as yet but CEO Sunder Pichai had hinted that this would happen around mid-2022, as present day events too are pointing towards the same.

Pichai had recently clarified in an LA Code Conference that the increase in employee count had gradually slowed down the company’s growth for which he had planned to improve things so as to make the organization increase its productivity by at least 20%.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, Google is just like any multinational organization whose main aim is to grow and sustain itself in the tech world where there is cut-throat competition from all corners.

Just like any other company, Google had also hired dozens of employees during the Covid-19 pandemic but is now experiencing financial setbacks due to their employees’ incompetence, for which Pichai warned them to start becoming serious with their work.

Hopefully, his warnings may have fallen on fruitful ears due to which serious employees will start doing their work and yield positive results in the near future in order to avoid risking their jobs.

iPhone 15 Could Come with an iPhone 5C-like Curved Design

0
iPhone 15

Numerous leaks, rumours and speculations always precede an official iPhone launch. And the story is not changing for iPhone 15 either. The model has already been speculated about so much that by now we pretty much have a decent idea of how the upcoming Apple device is going to be. The latest leak to join the series of rumours is that the next generation iPhone is most likely to adopt the iPhone 5C design and go with a curved side frame back panel. It is also been speculated that the brand might use titanium for the body of the iPhone 15 instead of stainless steel. This latest leak, however, comes from one of the trusted leakster and thus, most tech bloggers and enthusiasts are taking it as a confirmation.

Reliable tech tipsters ShrimpApplePro was the first person on Twitter to suggest that the Cupertino giant is planning to adopt a curved side frame back panel for the next-gen iPhone instead of options such as the flat back panel we have seen in iPhone 12.

Tech enthusiast and leakster ShrimpApplePro tweeted the leak on the official handle @VNchocoTaco and wrote, “So the new iPhone 15, from the early information that I have, the iPhone 15 will feature a new border design. The back edge corner (as pointed out in the images) will be rounded and not square anymore. The material also will be titanium. Still very early to take it as it is.” Adding more speculations about its similarity to 5C, ShrimpApplePro also tweeted, “So like the 5C? Idk. Will keep looking into it.” ShrimpApplePro also posted a few renders of the devices, however, nothing can be said with utmost confirmation at the moment.

iPhone 15

Although it is still only a leak or rumour and nothing can be said with utmost certainty, the similarity with the curved edges of the iPhone 5C for the next model should be a surprise for those who haave been following the brand for some time. Apple has been hinting at this as the MacBook Pro and old-gen iPhone also was launched with the same design fundamentals.

One of the best examples of this is the decade-old iPhone 5C, which was launched with a curved back and a flat display. If indeed the leak is accurate, then those waiting for the next generation iPhone should expect the brand to page out of its old playbook while making the device a lot more premium.

This will not be the first time the brand might go back to its older designs though. Even the flat body style of its latest series is extremely similar to an earlier user favourite iPhone 5 and 5S. In fact, even the curved frame design was first seen in iPhone 6, a design that reached its peak with iPhone 11.

Coming back to other leaks and rumours about iPhone 15, it is already speculated that the model will have an Apple A14 Bionic | 8 GB processor, a 6.1 inches display, a 12 MP + 12 MP rear camera setup, a 12 MP selfie camera and 4200 mAh battery among other features.
