Deadline approaches for Elon Musk's ultimatum to Twitter employees

Elon Musk is giving employees at Twitter until 5 p.m. ET on Thursday to decide whether to stay with the company and work "long hours at high intensity." Alex Barinka, social media reporter at Bloomberg, joins CBS News' Vladimir Duthiers and Anne-Marie Green on what could happen when the deadline hits.

When Musk brought the sink to Twitter HQ, he really meant to sink Twitter

"The floggings will continue until morale improves"

Pushed an employee? There's nothing unique about that. He's a narcissist bully.

Take the 3 months worth of money and run …!

Elon is going downhill quickly. I'm an experienced software engineer and I would take the severance pay in a heart beat; Twitter is unlikely to survive this. He clearly doesn't understand that most people need balance in their lives and working overtime, the way he expects it, simply isn't sustainable. In fact, it's going to be detrimental to the quality and quantity of work they do. I'm betting this story will be a business case in course literature after he sells the Twitter brand for pennies on the dollar.

Any employee with marketable skills will tell Elon to get stuffed. History says that people who work hard for Elon don't make money, only Elon makes money.

Elon has a financial responsibility to turn Twitter into an economially viable company that's not weighed down by fraud and waste.

Lmao the chokehold that Elon smoking a blunt on Joe Rogan has on the mainstream media is wild

I love Elon's " Steve Jobs " approach 👏

On one hand you're begging people to come back, stay, put in extra hours and on the other hand you're giving them the middle finger and telling them to get out. I can't imagine living with this man.

Beautiful! Finally, they'll get what they deserve...

This guy lost his mind somewhere for real.
Twitter is around for 16 years.

Staying in this swamp is a black spot on the CV of every software engineer who is worth h(is|er) salt ... so he will be left with the mediocre folks who are afraid of not getting a new job. It's already happening in his robotics department.
And no - he's not working 24/7

Where did Elon say 80 hour work weeks?

[thula]

Are the people that are resigning the same ones who've kept Twitter stagnant for a decade?

ALL Employees should not to sign anything at 5:00PM-EST - see what Musk(Rat) decides to do then.

It's also a test for the remaining employees - how united are they, as a team, to standup for one another.

We'll soon see.

Elon wants crunch time. But the twatters employee are used to working 6 hours a week 🤣

Thats why they'd quitting en masse

Boycott Twitter, before Elon Musk shoots it into space

[markgibson]

Of course he might pull a Trump and use the 44 bil as a tax write off and then start another similar platform.

I don’t understand why Elon doesn’t have a well oiled staff together to carry out his requests so as not to make it so personal about terminations.
