Twitter fate in doubt as staff leave Musk

SAN FRANCISCO: The future of Twitter seemed to hang in the balance at the weekend after its offices were locked down on Friday and key employees announced their departures in defiance of an ultimatum from owner Elon Musk.

According to ex-employees and US media, hundreds of employees chose “no” to Musk’s demand that they either be “extremely hardcore” or leave the company.

Musk has fired half of Twitter’s 7500 staff, scrapped a work-fromhome policy and imposed long hours, all while his attempts to overhaul the company faced backlash and delays. |
