Musk said the meetings will be short and are being held to help him “understand the Twitter tech stack.”
Elon Musk is trying to change the work environment at the company and is making it really hard. Recently he released a policy saying that Twitter employees could not work remotely and they had to come to the office in person to complete their tasks. He has already fired half of the staff of the company and many employees have left the company due to Musk’s policies. “Anyone who can be in office should be. However, if not logistically possible or they have essential personal matters, then staying home is fine,” he tweeted on November 13.
Musk also clarified the part where WFH was believed to be approved by the Twitter owner himself. “Working remotely is also ok if their manager vouches for excellence,” Musk wrote while asserting that similar policies were in place at the other companies he owns, Tesla and SpaceX.
