Photo Exposes Overworked Twitter Employee Sleeping on Office Floor: 'Pushing Round the Clock'Elon Musk's Twitter takeover has begun as employees describe working around the clock to meet deadlines. By Emily Rella November 2, 2022 Rumors have swirled over Elon Musk's Twitter takeover and how his acquisition of the company has subsequently impacted employees' work lives, with reports of 12-hour work days and no compensation for overtime pay. Twitter via Evan Jones Though some sources have chosen to remain anonymous, one Twitter employee is causing a stir on the social media platform after posting a photo of herself sleeping at the company's office — in a sleeping bag on the ground. Esther Crawford, director of product management at Twitter's San Francisco HQ, was photographed (and then Tweeted by Evan Jones, product manager of Twitter Spaces) tucked into a sleeping bag alongside the caption, "When you need something from your boss at Elon twitter."
Per Linkedin, Crawford has been at the company for just under two years while Jones has been there for one. Crawford retweeted the photo herself, saying "When your team is pushing round the clock to make deadlines sometimes you #SleepWhereYouWork." Musk's takeover of the company has not been seamless, including the ousting of several top execs and the looming threat of layoffs. Crawford elaborated on the situation at hand in a lengthy thread after the photo received criticism from followers. She defended her work ethic, calling herself lucky to be able to work at such a pivotal time in tech history, and noted that sometimes this work requires sacrifice. "I work with amazingly talented & ambitious people here at Twitter and this is not a normal moment in time. We are less than 1wk into a massive business & cultural transition," she wrote. "People are giving it their all across all functions: product, design, eng, legal, finance, marketing, etc … We've been in the midst of a crazy public acquisition for months but we keep going & I'm so proud of our strength & resilience."

If Trump can lay claim to an economy he had no part in on his inauguration day, then Elon can take the blame for overworked employees one week in.

Why are you against an owner making changes to their own company?
There's never a place for trimming and cutting costs?

I'm pretty sure the OP wasn't about him cutting costs so much as how doing so created a hostile/abusive work environment.
Now it's pretty much just about how the joke's on him.
Sorry, Ray.

He has always been thin skinned. He also hasn't been quite what the right paints him as.  |

I've mentioned that in the past several times...........as in, a good way to get wealthy was to find a way to get the Govt to fund you.
Weird how he was never really criticized until recently.

Which number will be larger? The amount of people that left the US after the 2016 election? or the number that abandon Twitter of this change of ownership?

They are already there and I'm not sure that "influencers" want to lose market share by limiting their platform exposure. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) |
