(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk gave Twitter Inc. employees an ultimatum to either commit to the companys new hardcore work environment or leave. Many more workers declined to sign on than he expected, potentially putting Twitters operations at risk, according to people familiar with the matter.
So many employees decided to take severance that it created a cloud of confusion over which people should still have access to company property. Twitter closed its offices until Monday, according to a memo viewed by Bloomberg. Please continue to comply with company policy by refraining from discussing confidential information on social media, with the press or elsewhere, the memo added.
Musk tried, in the final hours before his deadline, to convince people to stay. Key staff were brought into meetings as the Thursday evening deadline neared to hear pitches on the social networks future, according to people familiar with the matter. Musk, who had earlier said he was strictly against remote work, also sent a follow-up email Thursday softening his tone.
All that is required for approval is that your manager takes responsibility for ensuring that you are making an excellent contribution, he wrote, adding that staffers should have in-person meetings with their colleagues not less than once per month.
