TWITTER PROHIBITS EMPLOYEES FROM ENTERING OFFICES UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK

  • 19/11/2022

The offices of Twitter will temporarily close with immediate effect, the company has informed its staff. It did not state why it was moving.

The announcement comes as there are reports that many employees were leaving after the new owner, Elon Musk, told them to commit to "long hours at high intensity" or quit.
The message continued, "Please continue to abide by company policy by declining to discuss private company matters with the media, on social media, or in any other manner."

The reports have been met with consternation from unions with Prospect, the union for tech workers, asking Twitter UK to meet regarding the treatment of its employees.

"We will not let these makings of a digital P&O pass unchecked," said Mike Clancy, general secretary of Prospect, referring to the ferry operator's decision to sack staff and replace them with agency workers earlier this year.

"We are urgently seeking a meeting with Twitter UK Ltd to discuss how it will manage its collective redundancy consultation, ensure a fair and transparent process, and meet its duty of care and legal obligations to employees, including those with particular needs.

"Prospect will continue to do everything we can to support our members at Twitter. Big tech barons are not above the law and we will hold Twitter to legal account where possible."
