The employees of Twitter are living in a state of uncertainty for weeks as Musk announces his offer to acquire the social network platform. Also, Musk is one of the avid users of Twitter and criticized the company from his Twitter account and lots of people dismissed his early efforts to buy the Twitter as a joke but musk secured its finance to complete a deal and prompted the board to consider his offer in a serious manner.
This twist left lots of employees confused and also frustrated over the past few weeks and lots of employees have been opposed vocally to the deal of musk and they are worried about musk’s brash, a combative style which will hurt the company culture and also alienate some of the employees. One employee who talked about Bloomberg estimated that 10% of the Twitter workers will be excited about acquiring the company.
