Twitter Locks Staff Out of Offices

The firm's new owner stated in an email to employees that if they wanted to continue, they needed to adhere to the commitment. 

Twitter has informed staff that the company’s office buildings would be temporarily shut beginning today. 

Workers were notified in a message that the offices will reopen on Monday, November 21. 

It did not provide an explanation for the relocation. 

The news comes amid allegations that a huge number of employees were leaving after new owner Elon Musk ordered them to work “long hours at high intensity” or leave.

The message went on to say: “Please continue to comply with company policy by refraining from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere.”

According to sources, Mr Musk warned Twitter employees last week that they needed to commit to working long hours and be “very hardcore” or quit the firm. 

According to the Washington Post, the firm’s new owner stated in an email to employees that if they wanted to continue, they needed to adhere to the commitment. 

Those who did not sign up by Thursday, November 17, will be granted three months’ severance compensation, according to Mr Musk. 

The corporation said earlier this month that it will be laying off around 50% of its workers.
