Digital Desk: Twitter's problem worsened on Thursday, as company offices were shuttered off to employees. In an email, Twitter informed to the staff members that office buildings would be closed and credential access would be disabled until Monday, reported New York Times.

The news comes amid rumours surface that "hundreds" of employees defied CEO Elon Musk's ultimatum to work harder and longer hours, culminating in their termination from the company.

Musk informed the remaining staff in an email that failing to accept an online form by Thursday, confirming their approval of new working conditions, would result in their resignation from the company.

Reportedly, Twitter closed up its offices to prevent non-compliant workers from entering as the company fears that they might sabotage business operations.

Engineers entrusted with addressing issues and preventing platform site crashes are among the most recent departures.

Twitter users linked additional social media accounts to their profiles amid predictions that the platform could shut down within "hours or days," since business operations were bound to suffer as a result of the recent wave of resignations.

Musk issued an ultimatum to the employees, asking that they be ready to "work long hours at high intensity" or accept a three-month severance package and quit the company.
