There's a surprising amount of heavy-duty kitchen hardware in that auction. Were Twitter employees eating like kings before? Now they all have to bring their lunches in and line up at the one microwave, or cook a chicken breast in a coffee pot.

I'm assuming they had a cafeteria and break room but now they just have to all drink Soylent and use the bathroom out the windows so they don't leave their bedroom office.

yeah, basically. sf hits as hard in food as a city many times its size because of the incredible rate of catering

lol at demanding your employees return to the office then getting rid of your cafeteria a few weeks later.

Probably gonna make the (remaining) employees do janitorial work too since he (illegally) just fired them all.

Twitter had a full, free canteen which is a perk with many benefits for both the business and the employees, especially in a HCOL area. Musk, not understanding anything beyond... actually I'm not comfortable establishing a baseline here, but anyway all he saw was entitled millenials eating HIS money.

Wait, so he's making employees sleep in makeshift bunk rooms but he's getting rid of the cafeteria they already had? If you want employees there 24/7 wouldn't you keep that part?

On Monday, employees returning to work at the company’s San Francisco location were greeted by modest bedrooms featuring unmade mattresses, drab curtains and giant conference-room telepresence monitors — a significant upgrade over the Therm-a-Rest+sleeping bag situation showcased by one Twitter employee in November. One room even has a plant.

A photo of one converted bedroom shared with Forbes showed bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table and what appears to be a queen bed, replete with a table lamp and two office armchairs just begging for convivial workplace collaboration.

cafeterias cost money

with all the vacant offices from firing 3/4 of his employees, it doesn't take much to get some cheap beds and stick them somewhere, or just put sheets on couches


this is pretty illegal, mostly for fire code reasons but also because the city wants to clamp down on people trying to get around regulations on hotels and stuff

you can get away with a nap room if its clear that its not intended for overnight use, but lmao at putting night stands and poo poo in there

also elon doesn't see a problem with sleeping in the office because he is emotionally damaged and cannot form real relationships with people or really understand the concept of "home" or "family", and why those things may be desirable to a human being

That first picture looks like a break room converted into a room for employees to sleep overnight. The second looks like some middle or upper management guys heard about Blizzard's Bill Cosby suite and wanted an onsite one for themselves.
