WhatsApp's new feature lets users link email address with their accounts

According to a report by Claire Atkinson, the sales staff started exiting the company shortly after X gave out bonus checks in November.

The microblogging platform has experienced a wave of resignations from both senior and junior employees, making this a chaotic month for the site and its owner.

According to the report, X is running its headquarters with a skeleton crew and its advertising business is losing money.

Meanwhile, Musk stunned the world when he told advertisers to "go f*** yourself" late on Wednesday after some top companies pulled advertising on his platform over his endorsement of anti-Semitism.

At The New York Times' DealBook Summit, when Andrew Ross Sorkin asked the X owner about pauses in advertising, Musk replied: "Don't advertise."

"You don't want them to advertise?" Sorkin asked him. "If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money? Go f*** yourself," Musk said.

Musk's remarks came after he promoted an anti-Semitic post on X last month and faced a storm of criticism. However, he apologised for what he called his "dumbest" ever social media post on Semitism.

Companies that have paused or pulled advertising on X in the last few weeks include Apple, Comcast/NBCUniversal, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, IBM, Paramount Global, Lionsgate and the European Commission.

Adhikari said he suspects massive irregularities in the recruitment in state health services, just like the alleged school jobs and municipal recruitment scams, which are being probed by central agencies.

“I have been informed by my reliable sources from within the West Bengal Health Recruitment Board that there have been serious irregularities in the recruitment process since 2011. Transfers are effected according to the whims and fancies of a few influential individuals. In order to get to the bottom of this, I have filed an application under the RTI Act,” Adhikari said.

In the application to the state public information officer of the Health & Family Welfare Department, a copy of which is available with IANS, Adhikari has sought to know the number of people recruited by the department since 2011.

He has also sought the numbers and names in a yearly order along with the categories of positions and designations for which the recruitment were made.

“Kindly provide the name of the hospitals or any other place of work (if applicable) along with the location details where they were initially posted,” the application read.

Adhikari also sought details of the hospitals and other places of work where they are posted currently along with the dates of their transfers.

"There are no jobs in Odisha. We have to go to other States to earn a livelihood. Our State government has always made false promises to jobs. Our government has no concern for poor people like us," Nayak said. 

Nayak along with three other rescued Odia labourers reached Bhubaneswar today. The fifth Odia will return home later. 

"A few accidents have occurred during my 20 years of work. I didn't get scared of such accidents. But the tunnel collapse was a different one which I will remember forever. When I returned from work, I saw that the road was completely blocked for 70 meters," said Nayak.

He said they (41 lahourers) spent 12 hours in sheer darkness. However, they got their first meal through a 4-inch pipe. They were given puffed rice, cashew nuts, and raisins as their first meal. 

"We also got piped water. All 41 of us lived together. We all lived as brothers. We used to walk together in the tunnel," he said.
