After being fired, he uploaded a post on Twitter with a joyful photo of himself that suggested otherwise. His post includes the hashtags "#lovetwitter" and "#lovewhereyouworked."
Taking to Twitter, Yash wrote, “Just got laid off. Bird App, it was an absolute honour, the greatest privilege ever to be a part of this team, this culture.”

Furthermore, it states, "By 9AM PST on Friday Nov. 4th, everyone will receive an individual mail with the subject line: Your Role at Twitter. Please check your email, including your spam folder."
