TWITTER NEEDS TO BE HARDCORE IN ORDER TO SUCCEED THEREFORE EVERYONE MUST WORK LONG HOURS WITH INTENSITY OR LEAVE-MUSK.
Elon Musk has told Twitter staff that they must commit to working “long hours at high intensity” or else leave the company.
In an email to staff, the social media firm’s new owner said workers should agree to the pledge if they wanted to stay.
Those who do not sign up by Thursday (Today) will be given three months’ severance pay, Mr Musk said.
In his email to staff, Mr Musk said that Twitter “will need to be extremely hardcore” in order to succeed.
“This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade,” he said.
Workers were told that they needed to click on a link by 17:00 EST on Thursday, if they want to be “part of the new Twitter”.
He added: “Whatever decision you make, thank you for your efforts to make Twitter successful.”
The world’s richest man has already announced half of Twitter’s staff are being let go, after he bought the company in a $44 Billion deal.
Mr Musk said he had “no choice” over the cuts as the company was losing $4m a day. He has blamed “activist groups pressuring advertisers” for a “massive drop in revenue”.
A host of top Twitter executives have also stepped down following his purchase of the firm.
Last week, the entrepreneur told Twitter staff that remote working would end and “difficult times” lay ahead, according to reports.
In an email to staff, the owner of the social media firm said workers would be expected in the office for at least 40 hours a week.
But tech investor Sarah Kunst said the real reason Twitter is facing difficulties is because Mr Musk’s takeover has saddled the company with debt.
His behaviour since the takeover has also led some advertisers to pause their spending, she said.
CIC has gained access to exclusive rare photos of the heardquater’s offices now turned into bed spaces for workers. Mr Musk himself has been staying at Twitter heard office since he purchased it.
In a now deleted tweet Mr Musk posted that he would work and sleep in the office until org is fixed. Another conference room was now turned into sleeping quarters in an improved version of what an employee posted sleeping on the floor in a bag.
