Elon Musk, since becoming CEO of Twitter, has fired half the company’s employees and is now threatening the remaining workers with termination unless they abide by his demands.
On Wednesday, he sent out an email ordering his employees to put in “long hours at high intensity” or face the consequences.
The company’s leader considers these alterations essential to the company’s future growth and prosperity.
If we want Twitter 2.0 to create waves and help us flourish in today’s competitive market, we’ll have to put in a lot of work. It takes a lot of effort over a long time period to accomplish anything meaningful. He said that the site would be more “engineering-driven,” where only top-notch results would be considered for a passing grade.
When he was done, he pleaded, “If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below.”
Employees have till Thursday at 5 p.m. to make a choice. In accordance with the email, employees who voluntarily resign will get three months’ worth of severance pay.
Musk said, “Thank you for your efforts in making Twitter successful,” which may be interpreted as “I appreciate your honesty if you decide Twitter was failed.”
The fact that a large percentage of the surviving personnel had decided to leave led many to forecast the company’s imminent demise.
While this was being printed, the hashtag #RIPTwitter began trending as a way for users to express their sorrow about the impending death of the social media platform.
However, Musk seems undeterred by this and has continued to respond with memes.
Two angry individuals turned up at the San Francisco offices at the end of last month when Elon Musk bought Twitter and announced widespread layoffs. Some others came in carrying cardboard boxes and announced themselves as freshly laid-off engineers. CNBC’s Deirdre Bosa questioned the guys and later reported that an “entire team of data engineers” had been laid off.
Some laid-off Twitter workers may feel that the day they receive the “Today is your final working day at the firm” email is their last chance to find new employment in their field.
Once it became clear that neither man was genuinely employed by Twitter, Bosa removed the offensive tweet. Everybody was “Rahul Ligma” or “Daniel Johnson,” with the first two names standing in for a simple meme.
There are a lot of people out there who want to know, “What’s the greatest method to turn a few thousand cash in using social media?” Musk joked that Twitter usage had reached an all-time high after he tweeted, “Start with a big one.”
