New Delhi, Nov 18: Elon Musk, the head of Twitter, received negative feedback for his communication to staff members about working long hours with high intensity. Some workers have chosen to quit with severance pay rather than sign the vow to work form that Musk issued.
Musk suggested in the letter that workers who reject the organization’s new policies have the option to resign with severance pay. As of right now, Twitter has shut down its offices and turned off badge access until November 21. As of right now, no additional information has been given to the staff.
Following Musk’s Wednesday email with the subject line “fork in the road,” the workers made the decision to quit. Musk instructed the staff to complete an online form by 3:30 AM IST today pledging to work “long hours at high intensity” in the email.
Musk also said that Twitter will need to be extremely hardcore, which means that the staff members will need to put in a lot of effort over a long period of time.
Twitter promptly sent an email announcing that it would close offices temporarily and disable badge access until November 21 after the staff members decided to quit with severance pay.
Musk reportedly failed to foresee the amount of workers who would decline to sign the vow to work form and quit with severance pay, according to a Guardian story. According to reports, he met with several of the senior executives to persuade them to stay.
Twitter had close to 7500 employees before Musk acquired it, but after the major layoffs, that number was reduced by approximately 50%. Now that additional workers are leaving the company, Twitter’s size will decrease by an astounding 88%. The outcome of attrition is still uncertain.
Although the precise number of Twitter employees who quit as a result of Musk’s email is unknown, it has been claimed that the number is in the hundreds. A few of the very seasoned, dependable workers who had worked for the company for more than ten years have also left. The engineering director of Twitter also tweeted his resignation.
