Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter has informed
his employees that they can now work from
home “forever” amid the
Coronavirus pandemic.

The 43-year-old CEO informed staff on
Tuesday saying all in-person events would be
cancelled as the company announced plans to
adopt a permanent work-from-home
structure amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

Employees would receive a $1,000 allowance
to equip themselves with the tools necessary
to work-from-home, Mr. Dorsey said, adding
that the office was unlikely to open before
September.

In a statement, Twitter said it was “one of the
first companies to go to a WFH model in the
face of COVID-19, but [doesn’t] anticipate
being one of the first to return to offices.”

The company said if employees are in a role
and situation that enables them to work from
home and they want to continue doing so
“forever,” then “we will make that happen.”

“If not, our offices will be their warm and
welcoming selves, with some additional
precautions, when we feel it’s safe to return,”
the statement reads.

The company said with very few exceptions,
offices won’t open before September.

It added when they do open it will be
“careful, intentional, office by office and
gradual.” It said there will also be no
business travel before September “with very
few exceptions” and no in-person company
events for the rest of 2020.

“We’re proud of the early action we took to
protect the health of our employees and our
communities. That will remain our top priority
as we work through the unknowns of the
coming months,” it said.

Jennifer Christie, the head of human
resources at Twitter, also told BuzzFeed
News the company would “never probably be
the same” as it began allowing employees to
work-from-home during the initial months of
the outbreak.

“People who were reticent to work remotely
will find that they really thrive that way,” she
said at the time. “Managers who didn’t think
they could manage teams that were remote
will have a different perspective.”

She added: “I do think we won’t go back.”

One of the advantages of Covid-19.

Sense always comes from Nonsense.

Chai! Omo I wish all companies in Nigeria can be like this... But theft and loss of trust no go male way. Anyway, don't let the lockdown prevent you from eating. Bring your business Digital. Get Ecommerce Online Store + Free Domain + SEO Manager for 5k. Check my Signature for contact

It all depends on the type of company. Not all can do that.

This is why Twitter will always be behind Facebook. Twitter has banned all political adverts on their platform. If you know how much that advert stream is valued at. Meanwhile Facebook doesn't care. They will rather work to remove them later after they leave generated enough traffic.


While Twitter is human resources and values oriented, Facebook and Amazon only care about the balance sheets and the Benjamin green backs

That is where the world will all

Facebook is also not accepting political ads.

Move in the right direction.
btw, have you seen my signature yet?

In summary, those employees without soft skills should go and die.
You better learn a skill as other companies will prefer to hire freelancers and there won't be jumping from one place to another any soon

K

I'd love to work there someday.

Sign me on!

Good development from Dorsey

Inside side. These people are always thinking about the well being of their people. Here na the opposite.

It's better to keep quiet instead of saying nonsense

If that's the reason they're "behind", it's okay. No be everything be about money and balance sheet.

majority of these firms are clamping down on real estates. The market has seen a plunge in real estates value due to Covid.

Better work, imagine the set-up allowance almost #450,000.00 in Nigeria currency
