SAN FRANCISCO – Elon Musk ordered his staff, most of whom were working remotely, to return to the office immediately for at least 40 hours a week on Thursday and warning of"difficult times ahead" in his first email to staff.
"Sorry that this is my first email to the whole company, but there is no way to sugarcoat the message," wrote Musk, before he described a dire economic climate for businesses like Twitter that rely almost entirely on advertising to make money. Musk's memo followed a livestreamed conversation trying to assuage major advertisers Wednesday, his most expansive public comments about Twitter's direction since he closed a $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform late last month and dismissed its top executives. A number of well-known brands have paused advertising on Twitter as they wait to see how Musk's proposals to relax content rules against hate and misinformation affect the tenor of the platform.
An executive last week said Twitter was cutting roughly 50% of its workforce, which numbered 7,500 earlier this year.
I’m guessing they’ve been working 40+ hrs per week remotely. That would be OT in my union healthcare job and I’m guessing that’s why Twitter has been losing $$$.🤷🏻♀️
Every employee should walk out on him
.. and all of them I'm sure will be taking public transportation getting off at the slum station Civic Center .. welcome back to reality y'all .. your HQ home is located in the cesspool hub of San Francisco homeless ...
“At least” a full time work week.
What are you doing elonmusk? Twitter isn’t a car factory. These are knowledge workers. Do you understand how much improved quality of life is for the average employee working remotely? The hours of commuting time now spent with family or on personal or professional development?
