Elon Musk scraps”days of rest” for Twitter employees in his latest shakeup since becoming ‘Chief Twit’

Elon Musk scraps Twitter’s so-called “days of rest” for employee are no more, as he continues to make his mark on the tech giant.

The Covid policy gave each staff member a day off per month, in addition to normal paid time off.

It was designed to help reduce burnout among employees as the pandemic took its toll.

But sources now say Musk has black-lined this policy, with the change just the latest indication that the Tesla boss wants to set new standards for Twitter’s internal culture.

Twitter is simply the most interesting place on the Internet. That’s why you’re reading this tweet right now.

Musk is also reportedly planning to lay off around half of the company’s 7,500 employees, with impacted workers expected to be notified by Friday.

This move was expected with revelations Musk is concerned he had overpaid for the company.
