Another employee exodus appears to be underway at Twitter as many workers rejected Elon Musk’s ultimatum to work “extremely hardcore,' according to multiple current and former employees.

Another employee exodus appears to be underway at Twitter as many workers rejected Elon Musk’s ultimatum to work “extremely hardcore,” choosing instead to depart the company, according to multiple current and former employees. As the deadline approached for Twitter employees to respond to Elon Musk’s ultimatum to commit to working in an “extremely hardcore” fashion at the company or leave, some employees appeared to publicly indicate they had chosen the latter option.

Twenty minutes later, Musk sent a follow up email saying: “At risk of stating the obvious, any manager who falsely claims that someone reporting to them is doing excellent work or that a given role is essential, whether remote or not, will be exited from the company.” The decision to issue an ultimatum came after Musk earlier this month fired half of Twitter’s staff, reducing its workforce to around 3,700 employees, and also reportedly cut many of Twitter’s contract workers.

Lots of fresh employees coming up from Tx I hear. Just pay them to hang out at home. They can do it almost as well.

The leftist have just had a lesson in real world business. Losing 4 million a day sitting around preaching a hateful narrative.And Facebook will be letting thousand of the evil leftist narrative snowflakes .Now get a real job and welcome to the real world.

80/20 rule applies. 20% were doing 80% of the work. Keep the 20%. Now how about Amazons announcement of layoffs? Oh, can't talk about that? Hypocrisy is thy name.

If you don’t want to work = You’re Fired.

Sounds like he's wanting to decrease his payroll without having to fire them. I mean there are better ways and better wording to motivate people.

Um ok. I dont see what the problem is here.

Je trouve cela odieux de prendre plaisir à écrire sur la difficulté d une entreprise qui sans vouloir vous rappeler que vous user les services.. c est degueulasse

'The world needs ditch diggers, too'_Judge Smails

It appears. It's called trimming the fat. elonmusk It's getting too funny.

One of the worst career decisions for those walking out. I work in tech and every major employer is shedding jobs and it’s about to get worse.

Poor people.. have to work for there money 💰

thank god the hatred and misinformation has to stop. Let the Genius work -damn talk about hypocrisy coming apart his plans are usually incredible Why not wait and see before all this negative jive

good all those who censored canceled many times bragging on TIK TOK while doing are gone lol they will be replaced

elonmusk I’ll totally work hardcore.

Too many snowflakes. Entitled generation

Twitter crashes & burns: It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck!

EXITING TWITTER ...

They can't stand the heat so they are getting out of the kitchen. 😥😥

Just getting things right for the future of Twitter!

elonmusk I’ll work extremely hardcore.

Typical dictator that wants the reason only because is the boss.

LOVE IT when the trash takes itself out. How dare the Boss demand people SHOW UP at the office, and WORK. Maybe they could build pipe lines instead. Oh, wait a minute... elonmusk

Extremely hardcore is also how I request my prostitutes !

Companies are made of people and bosses cannot treat them like slaves.. Tesla May be unique but Twitter is a different story .. Elon’s Waterloo .. every thing that goes up must come down

It be like that

He gave so many money away that now make pressure from every angle to make money. The same ‘boss’ who want double work for the same money

I bet their next job interview is going to be a little tense. Employer: 'I see your last job was at twitter. Why did you leave?' Applicant: 'Oh, I didn't want to work hard.' Employer: '😐'

I will work for you Elon Musk.

Leftist tears are delicious. Lol.

The exodus of employees from Twitter, the key to the new social network! People should welcome it.

He's just going to hire software engineers outta school and pay them 1/4 salary of the ones he's firing. Capitalism 101

Good. Weed out the garbage

Getting rid of the dead weight

Is this how Twitter will fade into the past

I wonder if Twitter gives employees a Christmas bonus every year. Because cutting all that staff right before having to pay out all those bonuses puts a lot of money back into Musks pockets. It just seems odd that he's reducing the company to 25% & expects them to work 4x harder.

There are a lot of people out there that will take those jobs and work hard.

Yeah let them try to find another job

The irony of course was that Musk is not hard core. Musk is tweeting and giving interviews. A real leader doesn't ask folks to do what he/she is not willing to do themself

🤣 tell them good luck finding a better job. Some will and some won't. The woke mentality will wake up soon.

I guess they can go elsewhere, since all these other tech companies are hiring….oh wait, they aren’t!

Yeah! Sabatoge 1800getalife

Surprise y’all still on twitter

After seeing that TikTok walkthrough from one of the old employees, I can't say I'm surprised. They had it easy for so long that I don't think they know what real work is.

LOOOOOOOOSSSSERRRRRRRS

Maybe they should learn to coal mine

Twitter employees rn

Hahahaha

Im pretty sure this is exactly what he wanted

twitter tweeps can easily fit into cnn as working hardcore isn’t a prerequisite.

There are many people who want jobs. And I'm sure once Elon gets to hiring, the queue at Twitter will be crazy.

Good for Musk.

No one changed the world by working 9-5.

Elon will bring in Tesla IT experts and poach some from SpaceX to do some work at Twitter.

Elon should buy Verizon and clean house.

Only desperate for work will be left. I doubt any smart person wanna work like a slave

Отлично, освободятся рабочие места для русских эмигрантов 😁

Hardcore work 😅 ohhh like a full 8 hour day. Gasp.

Nice

Musk: come on guys u have work really hardcore or I’m going to fire u. Twitter employees:

Hardcore this 👋🏽

Having to actually show up to an office is outrageous!

This is a ridiculous article. He was tongue in cheek. “Hardcore” means showing up and working like the rest of America. Big deal!!

Next job interview: “And why did you leave your last job?” -“I was told to work hard”

I’m sure he’s heartbroken 💔 😂😂😂

And this is an example of why unions were started

And the site works as well as ever. Sounds like he found a way to reduce headcount voluntarily.

Has it been clarified what “extremely hardcore” means? A lot of dev, engineers, support, pretty much anyone in a build position tend to work more than 50 hours a week as is. I mean I’m in a compliance type role and I end up doing more than 40.

Twitter employees embodying the stereotype.
