Musk Bans Remote Work In First Email To Twitter Staff As The "Road Ahead Is Arduous"

Before Elon Musk changed his Twitter bio to "Chief Twit," Twitter established a permanent work-from-anywhere arrangement for employees. But with half the employees fired, in a move to reduce costs due to advertising revenue declines, Musk sent an email to all remaining employees to report to the office immediately.
On Wednesday evening, Musk sent out the first email to employees about "difficult times ahead" and the end of remote working unless he approved it, according to Bloomberg. The new rules were enacted immediately, requiring employees to be in the office for at least 40 hours per week.
quote:
"The road ahead is arduous and will require intense work to succeed," Musk told his employees. In another email, he added, "over the next few days, the absolute top priority is finding and suspending any verified bots/trolls/spam."
Musk announced earlier this year at Tesla Motors that working from home was not an option.
Musk's attempt to transition Twitter from an ad-powered business to a subscription-based model will have its challenges.

I'll be curious to see if he can navigate this transitional period. Elite workers in tech aren't really used to being micromanaged. It will be interesting to watch.

Literally Hitler.

I agree on some of that with Tesla but Twitter is essentially purely IT. Limiting the employee pool with that move I would think.

He's doing the Lord's work. I hope he has enough money to buy Reddit too. I just got banned for 7 days for...I honestly have no clue. I haven't commented or posted for over a month. I do, however, report the majority of posts as "Hate"...because that's what Reddit is. Guess they don't like that. They can't ban me from nudes on reddit...

Remember: It's perfectly OK for Mark Zuckerburg to FIRE 11,000 Facebook employees but god forbid Musk fired dead weight at his company
Another perfect example of double standards

Seems like he should have done that before the layoffs. I bet a bunch of people would have quit eliminating the need for severance

He must be secretly trying to destroy Twitter. This board has a lot of corporate bootlickers who believe in face time at the office, etc but in tech WFH is almost expected. This could be a novel way to get people to quit without having to pay a severance. If not it’s pretty brainless.

I love that word. Arduous.

I'm sure something else will come about and make Twitter obsolete.

I am fascinated by Elon Musk.
The guy is certainly a business titan, there is no honest debate on that. He's surprisingly personable for a type-A, though peculiar eccentric.
Perhaps what I find most interesting is how he regularly has one on one, unscripted and direct interviews with people. He's forthcoming and surprisingly specific with his words, answering honestly and unambiguously.
Regarding his actions regarding twidder, the dude is toying with the entrenched liberal structure, slowly rooting out the bad apples. He is making calculated decisions and I suspect every response/reaction is exactly what he expects.
Note: I don't have a bro-crush for the dude, I'm simply fascinated by someone expertly playing his field.

Crazy that I'm assuming that they all still HAVE offices, but where given the option to work from home when they wanted.

What a waste of time and resources. Drive up operating costs, utilities, etc for a bunch of computer people to not speak and sit the computer all day.

A work from office mandate is like shooting himself in the foot.
I like being the office more than home, personally, but the ship has sailed. Talent is scattered to the four corners now.

That's just how it goes. There are other jobs with remote work if those folks don't like it.

After EM called Tesla employees back into the office, this doesn't surprise me.

Idk productivity can be tracked for most office
Jobs.
Very few companies have found productivity going down. I worked For a national insurance
Company and they ended all their office leases and send everyone extra monitors.

Talked on the phone to one of Tesla’s employees at lunch regarding a Powerwall. He said he works remotely from Vegas.
