The company has more than 8,000 people, with an average salary of $121,000. Despite this number, there are fears about the company&#8217;s future under Mr. Musk, especially after his recent move to Texas. Job cuts could be in the works, and employees will have to adjust to this new situation. But what about the company&#8217;s current growth? What are the company&#8217;s biggest challenges?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_than_8000_employees\"><\/span>More than 8,000 employees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Elon Musk addressed the more than 8,000 employees of Twitter in an all-hands meeting this week. While Musk did answer a few questions, it appears that the meeting was well-managed by the marketing department. While Twitter employees may still feel isolated from the company&#8217;s headquarters, Musk has made a point to visit the company&#8217;s offices in person. Musk&#8217;s visit could be one of the most in-depth sessions of thought he&#8217;s held since purchasing the company.<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter employee survey reveals that 72% of respondents have concerns about the management of the company under Musk. Musk&#8217;s vision and company values are wildly different from Twitter&#8217;s. In fact, according to one respondent, the two don&#8217;t even share the same values. Musk was referred to as &#8220;a dangerously insane oligarch&#8221; by two other respondent. Another employee told employees that he fears the takeover bid, and is concerned that Musk&#8217;s disruptive ideas will affect the company&#8217;s culture.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_average_salary_of_121000\"><\/span>An average salary of $121,000<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the average salary for Twitter employees is $161,223, different job titles earn significantly different salaries. Examples of high-paying Twitter jobs include engineering manager, application software developer, and product manager. A typical engineering manager at Twitter earns $218,807 per year. An intern earning an average salary of $60,778 will make about half that amount. And even a marketing intern makes less than this.<\/p>\n<p>While the average American salary for tech employees is $49,000, the salaries at companies like Twitter are far more generous. The lowest-paying tech company, Akamai, pays its average employee $121,000 in base compensation annually. But that&#8217;s only the start of the pay gap. The top 5% of tech companies pay more than twice that much, including the smallest and fastest-growing companies. But there&#8217;s more to Twitter than money, including perks like paid time off and comprehensive medical insurance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fears_about_Mr_Musks_move_to_Texas\"><\/span>Fears about Mr. Musk&#8217;s move to Texas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There have been fears about Musk&#8217;s move to Texas. But Texas lawmakers have been working to encourage incoming migration to the state, providing tax breaks and financial incentives for new companies. In a tweet Thursday, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said he&#8217;s glad Tesla has chosen Texas and he looks forward to welcoming Elon Musk and his company. But if the move is truly beneficial for the state and the economy, fears about Mr. Musk&#8217;s move to Texas need to be tempered.<\/p>\n<p>As a media mogul, Elon Musk is a mercurial entrepreneur with a global ambition. His projects are always expanding. His move to Texas is likely to create jobs in an economy that has long been associated with oil and gas. Yet a new business in this field could lead to a new boom for Texas. Despite the fears, Austin is welcoming Elon Musk. It will be the next Silicon Valley, but it&#8217;s not the only reason to move to Texas.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expectations_about_job_cuts_under_Mr_Musk\"><\/span>Expectations about job cuts under Mr. Musk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tesla employees are suing the electric car maker over alleged labor laws violations, and now Elon Musk is aiming to trim the company&#8217;s workforce. Musk has pledged financial discipline, and plans to cut 10 percent of the company&#8217;s salaried staff and freeze hiring. However, the news is not all bad. He has publicly defended the decision, but his mother has attacked the company for publishing a report in the media that implied the cuts would hit salaried employees the hardest.<\/p>\n<p>While the U.S. economy added more than 6.5 million jobs over the past year, the tech sector shed nearly 15,000 jobs in May. And although Tesla beat earnings expectations in Q1 2022 and overcame supply chain problems in Asia, the company continues to advertise 5,000 open jobs on LinkedIn. In fact, Tesla&#8217;s stock has dropped nearly 30% in six months, a steeper decline than most major index funds. Meanwhile, President Biden pointed out that other companies, such as Ford and Chrysler, were adding jobs. It is hard to know whether job cuts are coming if no one else is hiring.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-S6tpvHDNuk\" height=\"208\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"372\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Employees Does Twitter Have?
