Elon Reportedly Wants Its Most ‘Hardcore’ Tweeps to Sleep in Beds at Twitter HQ

Of course, this leads to the question of who will be changing out the bed sheets and cleaning the rooms after tired and dusty Tweeps (what the company calls its internal staff) come back from the proverbial Twitter mines. As of Monday, the unionized contract janitors who worked at the San Francisco office went on strike after 20 of their members were reportedly axed, union reps told The New Republic. The janitors were picketing outside the office Monday morning. Tesla had previously fired hundreds of janitors and bus drivers in spring 2020, during the early pandemic months.

Twitter did not respond to a request for comment. The company has kept mum as far as the media is concerned after Musk’s takeover in October.

One anonymous employee quoted by Forbes said the company gave staff no notice that some of their office space was being converted into bedrooms. The act of putting bedrooms inside Twitter’s offices all seems to be part of billionaire owner Elon Musk’s attempts to “hardcore”-ify all those who survived cuts. Last month, Twitter demanded that employees sign up for a new “hardcore” version of Twitter or quit, but that didn’t work out so great when many employees reportedly went for a severance package instead.
