In addition to canning the rest days for employees, Musk has also made it clear that work from home is no longer a feasible model, with the threat of layoffs hanging over their heads. According to a Bloomberg report, the new Twitter CEO is ending the work-from-anywhere policy at the company. Axios also reports that all Twitter employees will need to return physically to their office space as early as Friday. As for employees that were hired remotely, they might get a grace period of 60 days to make the relocation arrangements.
Musk reportedly sent the signals about his remote work policy all the way back in June in a virtual meeting with Twitter employees. Back then, he told employees that barring exceptional cases where a person can only work remotely, all employees will need to be in the office when he takes over. The billionaire has already implemented a similar policy at Tesla, although the argument might not work in Twitter’s case. Musk recently told Tesla employees that they need to be on the company premises or get fired because Tesla makes cars and it can’t be done remotely.
