Elon Musk's "extremely hardcore" vision for Twitter seems to have manifested itself in sad little conference-room sleeping quarters at the company's recently depopulated headquarters.
A photo of one converted bedroom showed bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table and what appears to be a queen bed, replete with a table lamp and two office armchairs just begging for convivial workplace collaboration.
One source said that no announcement or context was provided to employees, and presumed that the beds are for remaining "hardcore" staffers to be able to stay overnight at the office. "It's not a good look," they said. "It's yet another unspoken sign of disrespect. There is no discussion. Just like, beds showed up."
It is not clear how many such bedroom pods exist, but the source, whose identity Forbes is withholding over fear of reprisal, speculated that there were maybe "four to eight per floor," adding "they look comfortable."
Hundreds more employees reportedly departed after Musk warned that Twitter would be shifting to an "extremely hardcore" work schedule that would require late night sat the office. Employees were required to "opt in" to signal they agreed with the approach if they wanted to keep their jobs.
