Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, is reportedly suspending the company's work-from-home policy, which was implemented during the height of the pandemic.
According to The Verge, which obtained a copy of the email, employees are required to work in the office for a minimum of 40 hours a week. Remote work would only be allowed on a case-by-case basis, The Verge reports.
Elon Musk's $44 billion purchase of Twitter has been anything but smooth sailing. He has gotten into numerous spats over a plan to charge $8 for a subscription service that will provide users with a blue verification checkmark. Critics have claimed that anyone can buy an account for $8 and pose as someone else.
In the email to employees, Musk said Twitter may not survive without "significant subscription revenue."
He warned that the "economic picture ahead is dire" for a company like Twitter.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced this week that it was laying off 11,000 people as it deals with slowing revenue.
