Twitter has also implemented other cost-cutting measures, such as Musk's decision to close a data centre in Sacramento, California, despite concerns from staff that this would significantly affect the site's functionality.
Digital Desk: Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has been imposing "crazy" budget cuts. In response to the company cutting back on janitorial services, the microblogging platform's remaining employees in San Francisco have reportedly begun bringing their own toilet paper to the "smelly office" (NYT). Jobs have to be eliminated as a result of the cleaners' strike for increased pay.
According to the NYT, which cited unnamed sources, the lack of janitors has left the office in disarray with unclean facilities and lingering smells of takeaway food and body odour.
According to the post, some employees are carrying their own toilet paper to work because no janitors are available to restock the supply. Allegations have been made that "Chief Twit" made the personnel work only on two floors while closing the other four.
Twitter has also implemented other cost-cutting measures, such as Musk's decision to close a data centre in Sacramento, California, despite concerns from staff that this would significantly affect the site's functionality.
One of the three important server farms that supported the online community was the data centre. According to the New York Times, when staff members expressed concern that taking down the servers would have unfavourable effects, they were told that cost savings were more crucial.
Twitter has asked all of its employees to work remotely as it is no longer required to pay rent at its Seattle headquarters. According to the story, the microblogging platform will only have two offices: New York and San Francisco. According to rumours, the company has recently neglected to make rent payments at either its San Francisco or Bay Area offices. Employees from the company's New York location's cleaning and security departments were also let go.
Some Twitter employees have reportedly left because of Mr. Musk's "erratic and hands-on leadership style," according to the New York Times. Additionally, he has instructed his subordinates to track down anyone in the organisation who has been providing insider information to the media. By lowering non-labor costs, the billionaire reportedly hopes to save Twitter $500 million.
