Twitter employees were told by their new boss Elon Musk this week that they had two options — commit to his “hardcore” vision for Twitter or leave the company.
The Washington Post reports that Twitter employees recently received an email from Elon Musk informing them that they had to sign a pledge in order to stay employed at the company. “If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below,” read the email to all staff, which included a link to an online form.
The message said that anyone who didn’t sign the pledge by 5:00 p.m. EST on Thursday would receive three months of severance pay and be let go. Musk said in the email that Twitter “will need to be extremely hardcore” going forward. He added: “This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.”
