“Do Extreme Hard Work Or Get Out!!” – Twitter CEO Elon Musk, Issues stern warning to employees
According to a copy of a late-night internal email received by the billionaire and acquired by CNN, Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has given employees until Thursday evening to commit to “very rigorous” work or else leave the company.
In the future, Musk said, “We will need to be incredibly hardcore to construct a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in a more competitive market. “This will entail putting in long hours of intense work. The only acceptable performance will be extraordinary performance.
Musk continues in the message by outlining how Twitter will be “far more engineering-driven” before giving the crew a deadline. The message asks personnel to click “yes” on what looks to be an online form if they are certain they want to participate in the new Twitter.
Any employee who has not done so by Thursday at 5 p.m. ET will receive three months’ severance pay, according to Musk. The message was initially reported by The Washington Post.
Employees at Twitter have resisted Musk and expressed worry. In one case, workers gave Musk and his team a memo earlier this month outlining their worries regarding his then-proposed plan to introduce a system where customers may pay to acquire a verification checkmark. Many of the advised precautions were not implemented when Musk released the system, which led to some of the employees’ fears being rapidly realized. Just two days after its debut, Twitter halted the system’s rollout. He announced on Tuesday that he plans to resume it later this month.
In the memo, Musk said, “Thank you for your efforts to make Twitter successful, whichever conclusion you decide.
