In context: Elon Musk might regret firing half of Twitter’s staff after he took over the company, given reports that those who weren’t laid-off have been resigning in droves. It appears the departures were prompted by Musk’s recent declaration that employees must commit to a “hardcore” work culture or leave the firm by 5 pm yesterday. Now, Twitter has locked those who are left out of the company’s offices, reportedly over fears of sabotage by disgruntled ex-workers.
Musk, who recently fired an engineer for arguing with him publicly, continued to endear himself to Twitter’s remaining staff on Wednesday when he gave them an ultimatum: say yes to the new, extremely hardcore “Twitter 2.0,” with its 40-hour-minimum weeks—they could average 60 hours or more—and intense workloads, or leave the company with three months of severance. Employees were given until 5 pm the next day (Thursday) to decide.
