Staff on Monday were invited to a “all hands” meeting via video link, hosted by CEO Parag Agrawal and Bret Taylor, chairman of the board. Questions asked by staff during the 45-minute meeting were read by the head of marketing, Leslie Berland. One question posed on a recording received by Project Veritas was: “How do the board and Mr. Musk plan to deal with a mass exodus, given that the takeover is by a person with questionable ethics?” Taylor replied that “one of his issues today is continuity.” He said: “The issue of wear and tear: As Parag said, one of the issues today is to continue and ensure that Parag and this leadership team continue to operate successfully on behalf of our users, on behalf of our customers and that was obviously a big topic of discussion on the board. “And as I said, an area that is also important to Elon Musk, because of the importance of Twitter as a service.” Leslie Berland, head of marketing, read questions posed by Twitter staff on Monday Musk, the richest man in the world, was described on Monday by a future employee as “a man of questionable morals”. Twitter headquarters in San Francisco are pictured on April 25. During Monday’s meeting, many employees asked if they would still be allowed to work from home. Agrawal said he had seen many questions about the process, about stock plans and about working conditions in the future. He said that much remains to be clarified. Staff were informed there would be no layoffs “at this time” – but no guarantees were given when Musk took over. However, as a sign of possible internal turmoil, the launch of new products was delayed amid fears, as Bloomberg suggested, that workers could “cheat” and “push something or tangle with the product at the door”. . Agrawal told officials that their stock options would be converted into cash when the deal with Musk was finalized, which he estimated would take three to six months. According to the New York Times, he also said that they will continue to receive bonuses under the Twitter patent program. Employees would receive the same benefit packages for one year after the deal was finalized, Agrawal added. He said he would try to set up a staff forum with Musk and said he would remain with the company as CEO, at least until the deal was finalized. “He wants Twitter to be a strong, positive force in the world, like all of us,” Agrawal told Musk. “He believes that Twitter matters.” He urged employees to “operate Twitter as usual”, adding that “how we run the company, the decisions we make and the positive changes we lead – this will be ours and under our control”. Twitter employees are sharing their concerns in-house chatrooms, messages seen by the New York Post. “We are all going through the five stages of grief in circles and everyone’s nerves are cracked,” a senior staff software engineer reportedly wrote on the company’s internal Slack channel. The clerk called Musk “a ** hole” and tried to comfort his colleagues. “We all turn our wheels and we have the worst case scenario (Trump is back! No more action!). “The fact is that [Musk] “He has not talked about what he plans to do in any detail other than extensive sweeping statements that could easily be considered excessive broadcasting.” A website credibility engineer wrote that it was “naturally crazy to see Elon talking about freedom of speech.” A senior video engineer announced his plans to step down, saying: “This is not the place to say that, but I’ll not work for this company after the acquisition.” The workers’ unrest began as soon as the successful acquisition of Musk was confirmed on Monday. “I feel like vomiting. I do not want to work for a company owned by Elon Musk,” said one employee, according to New York Times reporter Talmon Smith. Smith’s source told him he was “absolutely crazy” in the internal chat rooms. Another Twitter employee reportedly complained: “I do not know what to do… My God, my phone has exploded… We have a meeting about it at 5pm… The CEO will talk to everyone about it.” (this = members). “I hate him, why does he want that?” The 50-year-old Tesla tycoon agreed to pay shareholders $ 54.20 in cash for each share of the common stock before the bomb deal was reached Musk vowed to protect Twitter freedom of speech, “defeat spam bots” and “verify the identity of all people” as he welcomed the takeover. He also revealed that he planned to “improve the product with new features” and “make open source algorithms to increase trust”. But within the company, there was turmoil in the announcement. “I feel like he’s this spontaneous boy and he’s doing this to troll… he knows nothing about our policies and what we are doing… his statement about our pain was crazy… “Would they just let everyone go crazy? Or does no one know,” the official said, according to the New York Times. A Twitter staff member “openly rebelled” against Musk, an observer noted, posting a screenshot of the official Twitter site Github and posting a public response entitled “The Algorithm” – with a zero code.
