Twitter locks staff out of offices until Monday

The crisis at Twitter reached new heights after hundreds of employees were reported to have rejected Elon Musk’s ultimatum to keep working for the business, threatening its ability to keep operating.

As the company temporarily closed its offices to staff on Friday, Twitter users began saying their goodbyes and linking to accounts on other platforms.

#RIPTwitter, #TwitterDown, Mastodon and Myspace were all trending on the platform after the deadline passed on Musk’s ultimatum for the remaining workforce to sign up for “long hours at high intensity” by Thursday, or leave. It has been estimated that hundreds of the remaining staff, already cut from 7,500 to around 3,750 in the wake of Musk’s takeover of Twitter last month, opted to go.

The departures include many engineers responsible for fixing bugs and preventing service outages, raising questions about the stability of the platform amid the loss of employees and prompting hurried debates among managers over who should be asked to return, current and former employees said.

In an early sign that the number of those declining to sign was greater than anticipated, Musk eased off a return-to-office mandate he had issued a week ago, telling employees on Thursday they would be allowed to work remotely if their managers asserted they were making “an excellent contribution”.

Twitter later announced via email that it would close “our office buildings” and disable employee badge access until Monday, the New York Times reported.

I read on some business platforms that only 1,000 employees are left…and most of them are on work H1B visas and have no choice but to stay on. If they quit, they have to leave the country. I feel bad for all these foreign workers who don’t deserve this mess simply because of their situation.

Tumblr is having a resurgence. They need to allow NSFW contents again to cater to Deferred Twatter users.
