Ex-Twitter employee celebrates last day at the company with hilarious cake Twitter: FollowChelseyA former Twitter employee marked their resignation in a creative way with a \u201csweet joke\u201d by poking fun at recent \u2018rate limit\u2019 struggles on the platform. It\u2019s been a turbulent time for Twitter in recent months, to say the least. From a transition at the very top as owner Elon Musk steps down and new CEO Linda Yaccarino takes over, to a frequent series of platform-wide changes impacting daily users, there\u2019s been plenty to keep on top of. Perhaps one of the biggest talking points over the past few weeks came at the start of July when Musk himself outlined plans to tackle \u201cdata scraping and system manipulation.\u201d The platform\u2019s solution? To temporarily limit the number of posts any given account could see in a day. Naturally, for millions of users scrolling the social media platform, an error message soon appeared, one warning they had reached their cap. \u201cRate limit exceeded,\u201d it read, quickly becoming a meme in its own right across social media. Looping back to the platform\u2019s recent decision, now ex-Twitter Brand Strategist Chelsey Leader Brooks marked her final day with the company by having some fun with the rate limit meme herself. \u201cWhen you don\u2019t know how to say goodbye, use cake,\u201d Chelsey shared to her personal Twitter account on June 10 before the tweet soon went viral to give her a fitting sendoff. The cake itself featured the Twitter logo up top with a brief example of a timeline below, one that had hit its daily allowance. Employees all dug in and enjoyed a cake poking fun at the platform\u2019s recent limitations, and while it could be seen as a critical departure, she soon followed up to assure it all ended on good terms. \u201cI peacefully resigned with gratitude,\u201d Chelsey explained in the replies. \u201cThe cake is a fun little joke. I resigned, humbly, with another opportunity ahead. Not every ending is a bitter dramatic one. The cake was a sweet joke for my amazing friends and former coworkers. Lighten up.\u201d Most recently, Twitter has been embroiled in legal drama as the platform\u2019s owners look to sue Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s Meta and its brand-new rival in Threads. Having exceeded over 100 million sign-ups in its first week alone, Threads is quickly proving itself a worthy competitor in the ongoing social media platform war. In fact, Chelsey herself is already on Threads now as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
