After the mass layoffs at Twitter, it's no surprise that new boss Elon Musk isn't overly popular there.
An employee has now revealed his nickname in the company.
San Francisco – Sales slumps, mass layoffs, departures from the executive floor, trouble with fake accounts and a warning from the US Consumer Protection Agency: So far, the Twitter takeover by US billionaire Elon Musk has been extremely chaotic.
Musk, who also owns the electric car maker Tesla, warned employees that Twitter's balance sheet could face a billion-dollar gap in the coming year.
Elon Musk gives Twitter employees a tough ultimatum
"We definitely need to bring in more money than we spend," he said, according to a transcript of the meeting released as text by tech blog
The Verge
.
If this does not succeed, bankruptcy cannot be ruled out, said Musk.
"It's a priority." His recent sale of Tesla stock, valued at $4 billion, was intended to keep Twitter alive.
Now Musk has gone a step further and issued an ultimatum to all Twitter employees: Twitter employee Gergely Orosz tweeted on Wednesday (November 16): "Elon Musk just sent an email to all employees in which he 'Twitter 2.0' describes and writes that it will be 'extremely hardcore': long hours, high intensity.
Employees must click 'Yes' by 5pm ET tomorrow
to
confirm they are on board, or they will receive a three-month severance package.”
The new directive could result in even more employees leaving the company.
Musk has also assigned a team to find and report critical employees,
according to the
New York Times .
The team also checked Slack channels and tweets.
In the past few days, more and more critical employees have been laid off.
This should blow a new wind in the corporate culture of Twitter, because under founder Jack Dorsey, critical opinions were allowed.
Twitter user on Musk: "We're laughing really hard at this behind his back"
Nevertheless, a Twitter user shares on the platform against the new Twitter boss: "As an engineer at Twitter, I can confirm that Elon Musk has no idea about our website or programming in general.
I'm not gonna lie, we laugh really hard about this behind his back.
We called him "the CEO," but that stands for "Code Efficiency 0" (
Note: Code Efficiency Zero
)."
