Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has given employees until Thursday evening to commit to “extremely hardcore” work or else leave the company, according to a copy of a late-night internal email sent by the billionaire and obtained by CNN

. “Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore,” Musk wrote in the memo. “This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.” In the memo, Musk goes on to outline how Twitter will be “much more engineering-driven” and then gives staff an ultimatum.

Musk said any employee who has not done so by 5 p.m. ET on Thursday will receive three months severance. The Washington Post was first to report the memo. The email, with the subject line “A fork in the road,” comes as Musk has publicly and privately clashed with Twitter employees over his approach to running the company. It also comes after Musk pushed out Twitter’s top execs, eliminated the board of directors and laid off roughly half the staff.

Better leave the company than getting blackmailed everyday.

Hossein was transferred to the prison, his condition is very serious, so that the doctors said that he will not survive for another 5-6 days and he should be transferred to the hospital. Please be Hossein's voice. They intend to kill Hossein. mahsaamini hosseinronaghi

They should all just quit in mass and leave the “genius” alone with his new toy

effective management sarcasm

Sounds like twitters gonna be making porn movies now 😁

When you innovate at this level …. It Takes more than a 40 hour work week to arrive here . It takes tirelessly working your brain into a mindless stuper where this becomes innovative.

What does that even mean lol

All of his employees should walk out on him to send him a message that their the ones who make Twitter work…not him…

Elon should be sent to Ukraine for some discipline manners and the same time help ukrainians fight russian army...🤔👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

What’s wrong with that? Gen Z still wanting to work from Moms basement with a two hour lunch in a 6 hour work day with a three day weekend…

elonmusk worth respect

Aren’t there laws which state you can work only so many hours a day?

Speaking to a generation that has never known a true work ethic. Hopefully many will learn. They'll then vote Republican.

Whats hardcore about: 1. Asking them to come to the office 2. Removing 400$/daily lunch expenses per employee

Good riddance

I don’t blame Elon Musk at all. Twitter was obviously has too many employees doing too little.

Too many Twitter employees spending their work shift on the rooftop drinking wine. Yea, maybe work for that insanely inflated wage? Gettem Elon.

I hope he's paying them extremely hardcore as well...

HE MIGHT FIND HIMSELF EITHOUT ANY AT THE BOTTOM AGAIN

Elon Musk is ruining Twitter by going in and acting like hitler. Twitter won’t be worth a dime after all the changes he’s making. I’m going to delete it. Elon it’s going to crash and burn. Boycott Twitter.

Elon Musk confronts the Idiocracy and gives the Farmers water instead of Gatorade.

Sounds like what the rest of us are doing Suck it up buttercups

Weeding out the bums

What is softcore then? Half boiled egg?

He was a small inventor, he say, in the name of Rainbow God, and the result of his invention was satisfactory. KianPirfalak was killed last night in the south of Iran by the barbaric regime of the Islamic Republic. Mahsa_Amini‌

Americans are becoming a joke of the world. This is not a new concept, working a 40 hour work week at a company and get paid.

This is not leadership but dictatorship!

Mr. Musk needs to dunk his head in a bucket of ice water a few times.

Fire all the purple haired punks!

Time to get back to the office, pansies.

But the world already has Only Fans.

Wow, they had to work...at work?

Good!

Twitter is turning into a cross between,'Escape from L.A.' and 'Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.'

Coming harder, not the way.

I wonder whom he has to replace all these employees.....should the DHS..vet these guys that just happen to be waiting in the side lines.

hope everyone leaves and the company crashes. last messa.*%¥…

Can you say mass exodus 🤣

Someone is going to pick up twitter for an absolute bargain at this stage. I'll start the bidding at $8... Not $8million, but eight dollars... Who's got next?

Time to get back to the office, pansies.

Modern day slavery. The guy is insane. Who would want to work for someone who thinks they are a cool Bond villain?

No better way to flush out the lib’s. ‘Work’ frightens and confuses them.

It’s his company he can run it now he wants. Why is CNN so interested?

I 100% support elonmusk ... Get rid of the entitled snotty mediocre crowd.

These high Tech employees have been riding around so high for so long, They think the only thing that’s gonna bring them down is kryptonite. What’s wrong with waving some smelling salts under their nose and asking if they’re 100% committed to the company? Newsheriffintown

What would be funny is if everybody walked out......Elon shouldn't have fired so many of his employees so that everybody wouldn't have to go some 'extremely hardcore'.......He only has himself to blame...

He is the BOSS. A fucked up one but still the BOSS ProjectLincoln Morning_Joe Morning_Joe MSNBC RpsAgainstTrump

Just take the severance paycheck and leave the company. We'll see where Musk will source out his handpicked technicians.

They are fortunate what an opportunity

This story needs a fact check. Oh yeah, you don't do that.

CNN expects all workers to be lazy. That is the way of the left.

About time

French cartoon: elonmusk runs his employees this way ( left) Friday TESLA homophonic of YOU ARE THERE (right) Monday YOU ARE no more THERE🤣🤣🤣

I am thinking they never should have forced Elon to keep the Twitter deal if he did not want it.

What happened to 'it's a private company they can do what they want'. Clearly Twitter beforehand was not a long term viable product. Unlike CNN+ which was a rousing success and nobody got laid off there....

Fake Fing people news🖕

Oh my god the new owner actually expects his employees to work for their pay? The horror!

kickitoldschool Many 1000s worldwide losing their tech jobs. Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and others laying off workers. ☹ Hopefully their best competitor will hire All of them and we can support the move by switching platforms.🙏

Who would want to work for this walking ego?

in other words twitter employes either become slaves or unemployed. a simple choice in my opinion

In tomorrow's news... Musk fires everyone who isn't in a 'third world' country, and hires twice the workforce in a land far far away. Day after tomorrow, he starts procedures to re-register twitter in whatever country where the corporate tax is lowest.

Life is short, Twitter guys....get out.

In other words, 'I fired half the workforce, so you're going to have to do their work on top of yours.' Every single one of them should check off 'NO.' Where would he be then?

Coding isn't something you can push like a slave driver without sacrificing long term profit, because stressful coding conditions disproportionately raise the number of bugs. These cripple your brand and stretch coding costs out indefinitely.

Honestly, there's a lot of twist in the game of business. But I am sure Musk knows exactly what he's doing. A little bit of patience is needed for him to fix his new investment the way he expected. Above all, you better work or you leave.

Why would anyone want to work for this man? He's going to destroy the product.

If he hadn't fired so many of his other employees the others wouldn't have to go through those long hours. Elon is not being very efficient.....

His dad had a Emerald mine so probably told the workers the same

Bully boy!

I’m sure there are plenty of potential people to fill the slots of those that like to work at home

He must be planning on making some more terrible decisions on his SDE powered quest to be liked.

This Elon Musk is a goose

I'm pretty surprised an internal mutiny hasn't crashed it and scrambled it yet. The end is gonna be like a brick in a washer. So much fun to watch self destruct!

They should just leave the company...sounds like a sucky place to work.

He laid off half the company and expects the remaining employees to increase their hours to cover for those laid off. There’s nothing wrong with expecting the best from your employees but you can’t burn them out either.

He’s a man who wants slaves. Not workers.

elonmusk “ I demand that you clean up my mess that I created!!! “ says every toddler. Grow up. I hope they all leave you .

Thats some modern Leadership elonmusk implements Thats how you build 'psychological safety', the single most important aspect of high performing teams according to Googles in depth research on the subject.

Yeah... the big (capital)destructor at work 😱 Musk more and more looks like the Trump of the capitalistic system. Not everybody needs that, but... alas... Trump.... ehhh... Musk delivers anyway 😇

😂 Capitalism! American

Ọmọ....ko sere ni moscow

Twitter is now slowly becoming a small North Korea, as Elon Musk the dictator

Does that mean anal and scat stuff?
