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 terms for staying with the company, choosing instead to depart, 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.

“Regarding remote work, all that is required for approval is that your manager takes responsibility for ensuring that you are making an excellent contribution,” Musk said in the email, adding that workers would be expected to attend in-person meetings no less than once a month.

How to become a millionaire quickly? Start as a billionaire and buy up Twitter.

Ohhhh the communist newswork is hard at it

whats the reporters ig

Great, get rid of all the wokes...a very pampered group of whiners who all need their own crying rooms!

Who cares about Communist News Network CNN

No reports on all the workers Amazon and Meta are laying off? 🤔

CNN are full of haters. Elon put up his money to buy a company losing money. He can do what he wants to turn it around. If he wants his workers to show up to work to earn their money he has the right to do so.

Bye Quite Quitters. Rush home to your mom’s basement. You won’t be missed, even a little. 😆

Ahh, too bad the little twits cannot stand the heat. Good and good riddance if you don't want to work. Too many people who don't want to work and have been coddled most of their lives and cannot handle life.

Rejecting his terms? You mean like actually working? Yeah, they didn't like those terms. LearnToCode

' work harder , how else can I make such profits ! '

There are plenty of people ready to accept the challenge of working hard, those positions will be filled easily!

…apparently ‘coming into the office’ was a dealbreaker for some; hard to believe that Twitter still functions.

A lo mejor ni eran informáticos o son de otras profesiones u oficios. El origen de la recesión que tocó a ésta y muchas empresas alrededor del mundo se debe al bloqueo nazi y criminal contra países libres y soberanos. La rectificación queda de parte de la OTAN y EE.UU.

I'm in love with the fact that he is demanding hardcore work. Id be honored to work under those new conditions . It's unfortunate to see such. I don't even care just to be able to work for a company that is driven by productivity being multiplied more than ever is motivational.

I'm from Michigan and have seen thousands of manufacturing jobs lost over the years. Twitter employees are no more important than auto workers. The ones complaining seem arrogant and lazy to me. Spoiled as well

Good ole fake news network

How will they survive? Must employed them & fed them! Shud we start on go fund me thang? Welcome to the real world!

Yet more bull crap from CNN

...yet so MANY are staying and want to work with him 👀👀👀

Bye bye lazy tech people!

It’s almost as though Musk doesn’t understand today’s youth lol

Wish Musk would take ownership of CNN. There would be good housecleaning then! Maybe he will. Another mass exodus is coming!

Oh look it’s the liberal news cable that is freaking out that Trump is coming back on Twitter.

As they say. People don’t leave companies, they leave shitty bosses. elonmusk

I will work for you Mr. Musk!

It's hysterical and brilliant that he gets the slackers to take themselves out.

It’s called cleaning out the rubbish

Every job is replaceable… says middle America!

Oh well c yaa

I wish Elon Musk go in the White House and do the same thing

They didn't have talent to begin with. If they did they wouldn't have started censoring people.

Twitter isn't some technicol marvel. Many people can script, code, make flow charts.🤣🤣 They act like they were saving humanity, when in reality they were suppressing the voices of their opposition. Now they're all afraid of a little (If) (Else) statement from elonmusk ?

Terms: work hard, show up, no free lunch. These terms sound great for a 100K plus job…except if you’re a whiny snowflake.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” the media billionaire Malone told CNBC (11/18/21) in November.

Go Elon, fire the blue haired, fragile leftards!

Why dint cnn hire the fired ones.after all maybe they would do a better job as journalists.

This is the best thing that has ever happened at Twitter.

Well all the tech companies are down sizing. Lots of applicants and little openings. If they leave they will be unemployed for a while. Good luck.

We all should abandon Twitter

CNN the shit news

Oh wow! The new boss wants them to actually work? Good riddance.

Meta are jealous. They fired 11k but no one is giving them free publicity

Mommy … Where’s My Trophy

Remember when President Reagan fired every single Air traffic controller … no ?

They rejected hard work. Musk is separating the wheat from the chaff.

Sorry but this chick had about a millionth of Elon’s intellect. Twitter will be fine love.

Bye bye. Oh, have you discussed the exudes fro Amazon and other SM companies?

Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out

And cnn by the way, where is the meta layoff coverage? And Amazon? And Viacom? So unusual that all these layoffs happen 1 week after the midterms.

'Talent' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When you spend that much money on something you can do whatever you want. Why is legacy media so obsessed with a for profit corps day to day. Is there really nothing else to talk about. Have you Guys/women/princes/aliens/gods/ insert any other adjective nothing to talk about.

Whats that employees ROI? Im sure in many cases its a loss. He and a group of private investors paid $44bn for a fraudulent company, actively engaging in censoring Americans for democrats. The remaining employees need to actually work. This isnt a foreign concept.

How hard is it 2understand, I work on buildin a car for 7 years, some1 buys it 4over fair market value, they start choppin the top & fenders changing out parts & hiring new mechanics & firing old 1s. What the hell do I care it's his car now, he bought it. I dont get a say anymore

Yeah good for those smart people

How many left your pathetic fake news As your Elon melt down continues.

Weeding out the weak, good

Cry me a river...

Awesome, house is cleaning itself

Good. Go go go!

CNN sucks. Shut up

🖕🏻all those Whiney lazy employees. Fire them and then move Twitter to Texas and hire honest hard working Americans

I’m assuming Twitter is hiring ?

OMG He actually expects people to come to work and do a good job.

It’s no surprise Elon paid billions too much for Twitter.

Proof that Democrats are the most privileged humans on the planet

Yeah working!! WTH!!!?

Incredible… cry and whine about having to work extra hours and having to go into an air conditioned office while making 6 figure+ salaries a year. Surprised they haven’t called this slavery!

Looks like Twitter is like the federal government, you can fire over half of them and it will only get more efficient.

Good riddance to the Twitter snowflakes !!!

Ok. Cya.

Good! Out with the slackers!

Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!! ElonMusk

Fake news

Good. If you don’t want to work - then quit.

It will slow down. The exodus that is. Then a trickle. Then total replacement for the children that left.

Breaking news: New management lays out new strategies and procedures, and lots of people quit. Oh wait, that happens with a lot of managerial changes.

Seems to be working fine without them. Mabe they were just dead weight.

Maybe should hire them.

Spot on, Fake News Network!

You mean they rejected working? How dare they!

Clean it out, Elon!

“Hardcore” work? They sit at fucking computers all day for crying out loud. And are these “Mass Exodus” real? Where are these twitter workers leaving? Why aren’t they speaking out? This is just pushed by media to make Elon look bad …CNN is a miserable company

Deciding to lose your high paying job in a resection/depression while majors tech companies are on a mass firing spree?

That company is done

When Biden became the leader of the U.S, people invades the U.S, and when Elon became the leader of Twitter, employees exodus... Go figure out where you need to watch the news!

Sounds like he is cleaning out the swamp !

Relax kitty. Musk is the first man who will land on the Moon. Don't worry about him, worry about what you're gonna do when he buys CNN. I'm sure he already figured out twitter, without the flock of liberal unicorns who were running it.

Oh No.. the liberals at Twitter might have to actually do some real work. Goodness we can't have that can we lazy liberals?

Real work? Oh my!!!

And somehow it's still working, maybe a lesson to big tech, hire people that actually want to work. Get rid of the rest.

He is getting them to quit. Smart man. No severance or unemployments. Genius. 😎

Hey, Twitter is working fine and has several improvements since he took over. If you’re not buying it and doing it your way, let the guy do his job, it’s his money and company now.

Hardcore? Dude wanted them to work. The sarcasm over the word 'hardcore' completely flew y'all heads

Doesn't reflex your FakeNews narrative.

Pretty sure those Amazon and Facebook employees that got laid off would be happy to take their jobs

Now the ChiefTwit can hire competent people based on merit instead of politics.

Musk is getting the woke's to quit.

Best news Musk could have had. Now he can replace the dead weight with productive employees.

We are out! We reject being required to work at work. What a horrible idea.

A bunch of crybabies & whiners,when someone pays 44 billion for a company they have a right to run it as they see fit. If the public disagrees,he'll fail,that simple.

Lol! I’m sure no one cares.

Yay!!!!! No more twitters to ban free speech.

Must suck to have to work.

They spent 7yrs eating Sushi and playing ping-pong... it's being run as an actually business now, not a summer camp. Boo-hoo!

will they cover all the amazon and facebook layoffs?

If they underperformed or didn't show up in office to work, they got the boot. Simple, no time for freeloaders and workers that don't want to follow company policy. Not hard to keep your jobs if you're really invested in it in the first place.

Smoke and mirrors, bread and circuses…🥳

Good, now the laid-off pipeline workers can get jobs.

😰😰😰😰😭😭

Twitter will be better and probably make a profit for the 1st time fairly soon

The new Sheriff is telling Dodge City to shape up.

Oh poor liberal fascist CNN! Can’t stand it that Elon is actually allowing “free speech” and not censoring Conservatives! Liberal fascists were fine with Twitter supporting the liberal fascist agenda but now that liberal fascists have lost control, u r pissed! 🤣😂

Elon Musk, pied Piper. Rats running for the river.

The trash is taking itself out.

Good ridden to bad rubbish.

Bye bye !!! They will be easily replaced. What a bunch of clowns

total bs

What cry babies

enough will stay

台灣不加入也沒關係啦你們只會害了整個星球鬼面而已啦到現在還沒有走你們是人嗎拍一個國家怕中國大陸怕成這樣有種叫他來跟老天爺跟外星人戰爭啦沒有全世界老百姓在做什麼全世界的總統這樣全世界的壯觀連載罐嗎那/品簫長這樣喔

I don’t see much changes on Twitter!! Seriously, I thought normal ppl who are mentally healthy wouldn’t be as dramatic and delusional… 🤔

全世界的老百姓全世界的總統全世界的觀念有些的國家想當中國大陸的狗嗎乖乖地給我聽話怎麼不等喔不跟學姐們唱反調你們一直說民主你在幹嘛你媽說跟黃老闆先平等他說民主騙人那片全世界還不知道習近平的國家中國大陸官員都想成網銷小職員都想稱王了都要為所欲為我別來呀我們再用還讓台灣呢台灣不加入也沒

k

I'm glad they have another place to go where they don't need to work for their living.

Now do Amazon and Facebook layoffs

NO better time to clean house then the present..

People are so upset because now they have to actually work and no more free perks. I am sure his rules are normal like any other company . People need to stop crying he is not firing you he is giving you options if you choose to leave then that’s on you.

Well done, Elon musk

Who cares its his to what he wants

Easily replaced by non woke, washed people without all being supporters of Biden elonmusk

LMAO Good RIDDANCE. FREELOADERS need to vote themselves off the island. Thank goodness they are doing something useful

Buh Bye 👋

Maybe texas

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out folks 😎

Maybe Elon Musk have a try to move Twitter to China where he can do what he wants..

Libs are melting

Byeeeeeee!

Good Let the snowflakes go

CNN SEE AND HATE

Isn't that what you are supposed to do? Work hard to make a pay check

williamdesign You journalists understand that … twitter is Elons company and he can set his standards? This is not a union but a private company. Can you grasp that?

What a “fascist”…demanding employees show up and work for their paychecks…

Unionize!

I guess we can assume they'll be (maybe) seeking new jobs they can slack-off in ... sans letters of recommendation.

No one cares.

You all realize this is strategy, right?

Seeing how elonmusk runs multiple companies, logic would tell us he is not impossible to work for.

Part of his plan I’m sure. Watch them weep.

He hired back ligma & johnson... Two of the brightest engineers at twitter...

People will come trust me, those people who are leaving don’t do anything special

And the app still works just fine. Weird

Thats good, im sure with all the new jobs that were created they will land another job

Thats one way to cut the fat

CNN = FOX

How much of that was pure virtue signaling? They'll be whining that they were given no option to stay next week.

Brilliant! These people are literally making his job easier. If they weren't working hard he was going to fire them soon anyway. And now he doesn't have to pay severance, job placement, etc...

Terms : earn your keep

Woke culture has no place in work. Keep it in your living room

I haven’t seen any change :) app works fine. Twitter is just website why did it have so many workers in the first place?

You mean Woke

I'm sure he's heartbroken

You mean Elon wants his employees to work? Wow, what a concept!

on a mission again on elonmusk to brake him down like others .

People don’t want to work hard 🤣

Dear Twitter employees, just go find another job: like you told us to do! Sincerely Keystone Pipeliners

I’ll work for Twitter…..let me know Elon…

JeffBezos Hey, Jeff you should create a company similar to Twitter. You would be a better leader than elonmusk.

So what? They are missing out on a fantastic opportunity to work with the most brilliant mind of our time. There will be plenty who are waiting for that chance. Good luck you’re gonna need it.

Now if we could just get CNN to cancel their account, Twitter would be 10 times better....

And yet they just hit another usage all time high. I think they’ll be okay. But thanks for the gaslighting; was afraid under new management y’all gave that up.

What's the opposite of the Midas' touch? Musk's touch!

Cleaning house. Great job, elonmusk

It is intriguing as I consider the routine 80-hour weeks worked by attending physicians for less than half the compensation of a former employee at Twitter.

How long before Elon Musk sells Twitter because he clearly doesn't understand how to run it and how many millions will he lose because he overpaid and has damaged it greatly?

Clean 🧽 The Swamp 👉🧹

Last year CNN and many others including twitter were shaming those of us who were unhappy about vax mandates, and those who lost jobs… ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun.

Dumpster 🔥

Wait how can this still be working ?

When kids who feel 'entitled' to a paycheck but not to actually work for it are anchors to everyone else.

Lazy leftists

plz always post the names of ur reporters like this so that i can find their ig

cnn 🤡news network

CNN, once the mighty media now is reduced to a dozens of likes! This is what happens when you distort the truth. Keep on sinking your own boat!

lindahoguttu It seems the Musk guy will run twitter alone

I love it when people assume they are irreplaceable

Elon could buy and parent warnerbros for maybe $30B. The market cap of this company keeps dropping.

elonmusk will manage not only to bring down Twitter, also Tesla and cause a major security risk to the United States with SpaceX

Funny how you are mainly focused on elonmusk & not on people such as Mark Zuckerberg who has fired over 11,000 employees or Jeff Bezos who is planning on firing 10,000 employees from Amazon .....or maybe Disney firing 32,000 employees.

We want a lit NYE foh

working more than 4 hours a week is not asking a lot

This reckless management style should cause the lenders to call the loan IMMEDIATELY!! You’re watching the train wreck in REAL TIME

The best will stay.

Elon is faking a crash to push up the usage.

this just In CNN already started their purge of exodus who will be the next don lemon?

Perhaps Twitter will follow many other California-based companies, and move to Texas?

Maybe he should have done that at the beginning

Gotta love the right cheering on average Americans losing jobs, society is fucked

He doesn't have the power he thinks he does and he certainly hasn't earned any loyalty or trust!

No one likes to be threatened. Software engineers and coders can easily find another job.

Terms is for them to getlost

Let the weak ones depart. Elon will be left with the good ones. Twitter is now an unbiased news source. The woke don’t control it anymore. People will support this truth hun.

if they quit they shouldn't get anything but their final paycheck

It's too bad Twitter wasn't publicly traded stock anymore. It would be the short of the century.

sreneepenaloza

So why are the major layoffs and Amazon and Meta being ignored? It’s because fake news CNN is trying to collapse Twitter and free speech. Pathetic station

Apartheid work ethic runs in his veins...work people to death and pay them peanuts!

He’s ok with that!

I’m gonna send Elon a resume lol

Elmo MuZk showing his real face to the world. I never thought he was a weird fascists business man.

I hope He losses every cent Shut down twitter

I can’t see a difference

Maybe he should have done that at the beginning

“I want everybody back in the office at once. Also, we are closing the office”

They are giving the billionaire a massive finger salute.

That's what happens when You find the People that were useless in any Company 😉👌🏾 You ask them to actually Work, and they choose to leave because they never really went to a place of Work,....to actually Work 😂.

Probably won’t happen unless they are going to become entrepreneurs or join the breadline. Silicon Valley companies are either on hiring freeze or laying people off.

They are giving the billionaire a massive finger salute.

StandardTwitterEmployee.jpg ↓↓↓↓

ProfJNMoyo Well I guess new employees will just come in and fill up the vacancies .

Who cares?

I worked my ass off in the technical world, did well and retired early. If I had the hardcore programmer skills he is looking for -- I'd be all in on a new adventure. Why are people so lazy?

they're making his job way easier.

How many employees? 5? 50? 500? The article doesn't say. That's an important piece of information

So, legally speaking, don't people get a free pass to make huge blunders and blame the owner for making unreasonable demands that added undue pressure?

Get your resumes together, Twitter's hiring.

Kari Lake needs a job?

Who would hire a terminated Twitter employee? Apart from Jack of course

Stay at work & let him fire you. Then sue him for every work place violation he commits. The guy is crackers.

The guy is so entitled, he doesn't realize that most people aren't going to 'work hardcore' for a business they don't actually get profits from. Go ahead, block me elonmusk

There are a lot of people who will go to work for Twitter who are more aligned with what EM believes. Those people will thrive and have excellent careers.

Doesn’t Musk know there are Laws ☝🏽

It's been fun guys...

Great as he’s running the cupcakes out .

How can I be a hardcore engineer for Elon Musk? Do I have to wear an Imperial officer uniform?
