Elon Musk Converts Rooms At Twitter Headquarters Into Bedrooms For Employees; Here's Why
It was presumed that the beds were for the existing "hardcore" employees who could stay and work overnight at the office.
When Elon Musk takes over, expect the unexpected.
According to a report by Forbes, the new head of Twitter has turned numerous rooms in the workplace into small sleeping quarters at the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.
These rooms are located in the office building. The rooms include drab curtains, unmade beds, and enormous telepresence monitors often seen in conference rooms.
In addition to this, one of the rooms includes bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table, a queen bed, a table lamp, and two office armchairs. The room also has a brilliant orange bedside table.
It was presumed that the beds were for the existing "hardcore" employees who could stay and work overnight at the office.
According to one source at Twitter, who spoke with Forbes, no announcement or context was provided to employees, and it was believed that this was the truth.
"It's not a good look. It's yet another unspoken sign of disrespect. There is no discussion. Just like, beds showed up," a source said.

The portal suggests that there are around four to eight-bedroom pods on each level, and from the looks of things, they are nice and cozy.
Musk sent an ultimatum to hundreds of Twitter workers a month ago, demanding they sign up for "long hours at high intensity" or resign.
The new owner of Twitter has fired at least half of the company's workers, while some more have departed due to the demanding nature of the job.

After declining to join Elon Musk's "hardcore," a group of Twitter workers in the Boston office created a video counting down the days until they would be terminated.
Former Twitter employee Matt Miller and his coworkers can be seen in a video that has gone viral counting down the seconds before they are let go from their jobs. The group counted down to midnight in the new year's style until they could no longer access the company's portals.
"It's been a ride," Mr. Miller wrote in the caption of the Twitter post.

The "Chief Twit" seems unconcerned despite the latest development in the Twitter story since Mr. Musk assumed control. Mr. Musk tweeted, "The best people are staying, so I'm not too worried."
Since the internet mogul took over Twitter a month ago, he has fired half of the staff, ended the company's work-from-home policy, and made employees work long hours.
