According to reports, Elon Musk has now converted conference rooms at the company’s headquarters in San Francisco into bedrooms for employees, keeping with his “extremely hardcore” theme. Elon Musk has been in charge of Twitter for a month. During this time, he has fired thousands of employees, fired executives and engineers who criticized his policies and given the remaining staff the option of working “extremely hardcore” or quitting.
The Department of Building Inspection in San Francisco has opened an investigation into the complaint
Disgruntled workers’ latest “shock” came on Monday, when they arrived at work to find “modest bedrooms featuring unmade mattresses, drab curtains, and enormous conference-room telepresence monitors,” according to Forbes. The Department of Building Inspection in San Francisco has opened an investigation into the complaint that Musk converted the company’s headquarters, according to the most recent reports.
“We need to make sure the building is being used as intended,” said Patrick Hannan, the department’s communications director adding that residential buildings, even those meant for short stays have “different building code requirements”.
The decision was made by Musk without consulting the workers or even making an announcement
The temporary bedrooms are nevertheless “disrespectful,” even if they represent a substantial improvement over the sleeping bag issue that gained widespread attention in November after a Twitter employee posted a photo of herself dozing asleep in the workplace. The decision was made without consulting the workers or even making an announcement, according to a Forbes article quoting an anonymous source. They had to assume that the mattresses are for the remaining staff to spend the night at the office because they were given no context.
“It’s not a good look,” said one employee as quoted by Forbes. “It’s yet another unspoken sign of disrespect. There is no discussion. Just like, beds showed up.” Although the exact number of beds is still unknown, the unnamed source assumes that there are “four to eight” uncomfortable-looking beds on each floor.
