Explained: How Elon Musk's control of Twitter has driven employees to quit

Firstpost  

Since Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, hundreds of employees have decided to depart with three months of severance pay. On Wednesday, Musk gave Twitter’s remaining employees just under 36 hours to leave or commit to building “a breakthrough Twitter 2.0.” Those who departed would get three months of severance pay, he said. Jeff Seibert, a former head of consumer product at Twitter, called the company’s situation “sad” and “disappointing” and said Musk’s leadership had caused “confusion” for users, advertisers and employees. But in his note, which was viewed by the Times, Musk wrote: “Regarding remote work, all that is required for approval is that your manager takes responsibility for ensuring that you are making an excellent contribution.” The email arrived hours after a former Twitter employee had sued the company, claiming Musk’s new policy discriminated against workers with disabilities. Musk’s team also held meetings with undecided employees who are key to Twitter’s operations to try to persuade them to stay, three people said.
