Twitter-owner Elon Musk said in an email to employees that remote work would no longer be allowed and that they would be expected to be in office for at least 40 hours per week, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
Musk also told employees that he wants to see subscriptions account for half of Twitter's revenue, the report added.
It follows comments from Musk earlier this week where he said he axed offering grey ticks and an “Official” label to high-profile Twitter accounts within hours of rolling them out because it was “an aesthetic nightmare”.
It comes as the platform prepares to start allowing any user to sign up for its blue-tick verification badge by signing up to the firm’s Twitter Blue subscription service and paying a monthly fee.
In response to concerns that this would make it harder to identify authentic accounts on the site, as Blue subscribers will not be required to verify who they are, Twitter announced it was adding a second, “Official” badge to select accounts as a way of distinguishing Blue subscribers from those the platform has verified as official.
Some industry commentators argued the new double-verification process would only make the system more confusing. – Reuters/PA
