Twitter asks its Singapore staffs to clear desks and work from home

Twitter’s employees at Singapore headquarter were asked on Wednesday to clear their desks and vacate the office premises. They were asked to work from home from Thursday. The development comes amid Elon Musk’s cost-cutting measures after he acquired the company last year.

 

Staff at the Singapore office reportedly received an email saying they had time till 5 pm to clear their desks at their office in CapitaGreen building. Singapore employees have been tagged as remote workers in Twitter’s internal system.

 

Singapore was among the centres affected during the mass layoffs at Twitter in November last year when Musk fired half of the company's 7,500 staff. He had scrapped a work-from-home policy and imposed long hours, asking workers to return to offices immediately. This happened two years after Twitter announced a “permanent” work from home policy for employees. Employees were expected to be in office 40 hours a week. Exceptions were only for those who are physically unable to reach office and were to be granted only after Musk personally signed off on them.
