NEW: Twitter is cutting employee benefits starting this quarter. Commuter benefits, family planning, and meal allowances are all out. Coffee and snacks are staying, per an internal email.
@zoeschiffer family planning being removed is a large step backwards.
@wheelsee @zoeschiffer Moving forward all employees will be expected to carry Elon's babies instead
@noam @zoeschiffer that’s frightening
@wheelsee @zoeschiffer What does "family planning" mean in this context? Was Twitter paying for birth control? Or is this about paternity and maternity leave?
@kemokid @zoeschiffer my guess is fertility treatments/egg preservation/adoption assistance
@zoeschiffer Coffee and snacks are in because Musk wants employees living in the office full time
@noam some could be ambitious. If the company survives and even grows again, staying could land someone a nice promotion.
@zoeschiffer How are there still people working there?! I get some of them are on visas but why on earth would anyone stay otherwise?
@jonathanhorowi1 @zoeschiffer I think that’s the majority of the staff
they stay either because they must or they want to.
just remember this guy here had his shanghai employees stay at factory during covid so they could keep the line running.
sounds like he’s doing same the same thing except white collar instead of red blue collar.
@zoeschiffer Elon would prefer everyone have kids unplanned like him
@zoeschiffer no biggie. everyone who's left is 'hardcore' - no need for those fluffy benefits.
@zoeschiffer Even though coffee is staying, I wouldn't be surprised if what's brought in gets changed out to a cheaper version
@zoeschiffer Family planning? Doesn’t that fall within the health care plan?
@zoeschiffer Sounds like a GREAT place to work… #SpaceKaren being a visionary again.
@zoeschiffer beatings will continue until morale improves.
@zoeschiffer OK but will they get reimbursements if Elon makes them fly in in the middle of the night?
@zoeschiffer Any word on toilet paper?
@zoeschiffer I’m not an Uber-genius like Elon, but I doubt he will find $1B in savings to service his debt by cutting these bennies.
@zoeschiffer SAVE THE BACON PLATE!
@zoeschiffer as if that would help restore the 100s of billions he just lost in one month.
@zoeschiffer You don’t need family planning since you’ll never see your partner, you’re too busy Being Hardcore and sharing a communal washing machine with the others sleeping in the pale blue glow of the videoconferencing systems.
