Elon Musk scraps resting days for Twitter employees

Shortly after taking over as the owner and CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk has scrapped resting days for Twitter employees. According to sources, all days of rest have been eliminated from the calendar of his staff.

The monthly one-paid rest day, which was meant to help reduce burnout among staffers, started during the COVID-19 pandemic and the policy change is an indication that Musk will set new standards for Twitter.

Recall that he had earlier interrupted one of Twitter’s “days of rest” before he became the company’s owner and CEO.

The new CEO is reportedly planning to lay off about half of Twitter’s 7,500-employee workforce, with impacted workers expected to learn their fate on Friday, November 5, according to Bloomberg.
