'The Expectation Is Literally To Work 24/7': Elon Musk Orders Twitter Staff To Work 84-Hour Weeks As 75% Of Employees Face Being Fired

Even more surprising is the fact that the Tesla and SpaceX founder issued an internal message throughout the company ordering staffers to essentially keep working until the changes to the platform’s verification service is completed.

"The expectation is literally to work 24/7 to get this out,” part of the internal message reportedly read – although the message did not say whether workers will receive overtime pay or time off in lieu for the extra time they are being told to put in to their projects.

The message also reportedly failed to say whether or not those who work the requested 24/7 will be given job security in the wake of Musk’s claims he will cut 75% of the Twitter workforce – leading many staffers to believe Musk is using this latest request as a test to see who within the company works the hardest.

While Twitter’s staffers are ordered to complete their newly assigned tasks by a tight early November deadline, the company’s managers have reportedly been assigned to carry out intricate performance reviews of each current employee.

This has reportedly led some Twitter managers forced to sleep in their offices to guarantee their assessment reviews are completed before Musk cuts 25% of the company’s staff in his upcoming first round of layoffs.

These latest revelations came to light shortly after Musk dissolved the platform’s board of directors on Monday, making the new Twitter CEO the sole director overseeing the $41 billion company moving forward.
