New Twitter owner Elon Musk has cancelled “days of rest” for Twitter employees after taking over as the new owner. Twitter began offering one paid rest day per month, in addition to normal paid time off, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Elon Musk Increase Working Hours for Twitter Owners
The policy was meant to help reduce burnout among the workers but this new owner is not interested in all that. Elon Musk eliminated future “days of rest” from Twitter’s calendar this week, he interrupted one of Twitter’s “days of rest” even before he became the company’s owner and CEO.
The policy change is the latest indication that Musk will set new standards for Twitter. Musk is reportedly planning to lay off about half of Twitter’s 7,500-employee workforce, with impacted workers expected to learn their fate on Friday, November 4.
