Musk had earlier asked for a pledge from employees to commit to “long, hard hours” that would bring forth an improved Twitter 2.0. He warned that nothing less than excellence would be acceptable. The workforce has already been reeling from layoffs rumored at 3,700 people since Musk took over the service a few weeks ago.
The message was sent out with a promise: click on a convenient link that indicated the employee was willing to commit, or be prepared to receive three months of severance and a lockout from their former employer.Peter Bart: Upcoming Spielberg, Mendes & Gray Movies Could Teach Newly Troubled Tech Titans Some Old Tricks
A major bone of contention has been Musk’s insistence that workers return to the office for at least 40 hours per week. But reports surfaced today that he was moving off that hardline approach as the signups for Team Twitter lagged. There were also reports that the company had locked out badge access and its system until Monday as it assesses the impact of today’s actions.
If this indeed marks the end of Twitter – a somewhat dubious prospect, given that it was just bought for $44 billion – then it went out with more than a few laughs.Influencers on Twitter trying to come to terms with the fact that they have to get a job now 😭

Musk must have upgraded from Ambien+wine to crack cocaine. Every single day he does something stupid that he has to walk back with his tail between his legs.
