After firing about half of Twitter’s workforce, the company’s new chief Elon Musk gave the remaining employees an ultimatum: work extremely hard or leave.

The talented and dedicated workers who remained were putting in such long hours, that some posted about sleeping at the office.

This came as reports surfaced that the San Francisco headquarters included makeshift bedrooms amid the new “hardcore” culture at the tech company, with Forbes describing them as “modest bedrooms featuring unmade mattresses, drab curtains and giant conference-room telepresence monitors.”
Following an alleged complaint, the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection is now investigating.

San Francisco of all places?!?! The employees could literally walk outside and defecate on the sidewalk pick it up and throw it at a cop and that would be ok but if they are tired they can’t sleep inside the building. That city is so far removed from reality. pic.twitter.com/whRD9YynjG
