I'm curious what happens to everyone at Twitter who was employed in managing their old data centre.

Well I'm sure they still have amazing career prospects just based on their resumes.

Sure, but what's the actual process for dealing with them? Will they be let go in small batches as the infrastructure moves over to GCP, or what?

This isn't all of Twitter's workloads moving to GCP. Seems like just cold storage and some aspects of their Hadoop workloads.
