cooler. that's your forecast john, thank you for that. let's get a look at your bridges this morning. heading into the city right now. 7 minutes, mace that fremont street exit. >> well, the san mateo you want to want a 13 minute ride heading across towards the peninsula. the richmond, sandra fell bridge about 7 minutes as you travel at a richmond and the golden gate bridge. 37 to the tolls. 21 minutes. well, the job of thousands of twitter employees are on the chopping block employees of the social media company have been notified to brace themselves for a wave of layoffs starting today. the big changes are happening shortly after elon musk's purchase. the company and email was sent out to all of twitter's employees yesterday. it didn't include exact numbers, but it warned everyone to get ready for a second email today. that will let them know who gets to stay and who has to go. all twitter offices will be temporarily closed and batch accesses spend it so empl

least not on site. the state of california requires an employer to give a written notice of a mass layoff 60 days before the order takes effect. but it's not clear how many of twitter's employees are going to be. let go and how long they can stay on board before their last day. it doesn't sound like very long. according to the memo sent out which kron 4 obtain. take a look. the letter reads, quote, in an effort to place twitter on a healthy plan, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on friday. it went on to say employees who are terminated will get directions on their next steps and their personal email in sheer with seen at weighed in on the looming layoffs. >> the real question that we get to past, you know, how does this impact the company is? what does this mean for how you and i will be using twitter or if you don't use twitter, how is this going to change the way that the world's who surround twitter

are going to be impacted, right, that the politicians who are addicted to it, entertainment sports, all these things that have become intertwined with twitter. that is really where i'm curious to see where the changes are going to be. >> we'll share went on to say twitter's moderation and security were questionable. even prior to musk acquisition. so he wonders whether that and the overall experience on twitter could be impacted if a lot of employees with institutional knowledge are fired. there are several other bay area tech companies announcing they're going to be laying off in some cases. hundreds of employees kron four's is talked with a pair of economic experts to get their perspective on these layoff announcements. >> layoffs announced in the bay area tech sector ranging between 13 to 18% of the workforce at companies like rideshare lift payment processing platform. streit,

business technology solutions open door and digital banking. time bay area council economic institute executive director jeff ellis. i rios perspective on these developments. so i i think this is a continuation of the wave of layoffs we've been seeing, particularly in tech. >> many companies now pulling back in anticipation of a recession next year. i think that the thing to keep in mind is that many of these companies grew quickly over the course of the pandemic. so a bit of this is course correction. and it's also the case that >> stock valuations are down and there's just not as much money to go into growth. focus strategies anymore. the chair of the economics department at sounds a state university, matthew lee and talked about other potential factors leading to these tech layoffs to be honest, you know, i think it it could be a mix of the recession, but also changes in it. in and work modalities and whether people need to be employed in in the bay area as much. so that's

what's interesting to me as someone who studies economics, what types of positions are these typically? >> i think you're you're seeing potentially some people that are close to retirement. some of these may be entry level. i think it's tough to really know from the announcements made today. economic experts say these job losses are occurring in the labor market. that remains tight and how quickly those laid-off return to the workforce is something they'll be keeping an eye on. that's a key piece to watch because depending where you are in our region unemployments about 2%. >> so they're not many people on the sidelines today. it's and i saw a lot of competition for that so we'll be watching or are those people that are being laid off today and this week? are they quickly finding work or is this a you know, i longer higher unemployment scenario for our region. >> has it made kron 4 news? >> well, there are more people losing jobs from tech companies here in the bay area earlier this week, digital bank chime was laying off 12% of workers. that's around 160 people and real estate tech

>> the amount of detail that has been disseminated to the public about this case in such short order is calling into question mister dip happ's ability to get a fair trial. the defense may seek to keep his interrogation out of evidence and how did they on ring this bell when the da's office is putting in very detailed responses, he admits may have made even before that is bindi deemed to be admissible. >> well, happening now, a daly city man is recovering after a random attack at his workplace. that turned deadly this happening tuesday morning in san francisco's visitation valley neighborhood. now he's sharing his story with kron four's gayle on. take a look. >> the victim i spoke with says he has been working at a 7.11 for 40 years and after tuesday's brutal attack inside the store, he says he is scarred physically and mentally and no longer able to work. >> he went inside and the stock hitting me.
