“Dear fired executives & A&R’s: Don’t be mad, UPS is hiring,” she wrote, before suggesting that they apply to her own record label, Heavy On It. “Also, feel free to submit your resumes for a job @ #HeavyOnIt.”

She added in another tweet: “They’ve been wanting empty arenas so bad. Obsessed with me while all your friends r getting fired is nasty work.”

The layoffs, which a source told Billboard affected 150 to 175 employees, comes following the announcement that 10K Projects founder Elliot Grainge will take over as CEO of Atlantic Music Group, starting October 1. As part of his promotion, 10K will move under the Atlantic Music Group umbrella — joining Atlantic Records, Elektra and 300.

Atlantic Records CEO Robert Kyncl wrote in a memo to staff that the company will “be unveiling a new dynamic structure for the label group” next week. Atlantic’s cuts are the fourth round in the Warner Music Group family in roughly 18 months.
