In his first emails to Twitter staff, Musk talks about ending remote work and battling verified spam

After taking over the company, Musk sent an email to employees for the first time. He talked about how important it is to end remote work.

The new CEO told workers to be prepared for difficult times ahead. He asked them to work from the office if an exemption was available. The employees will have to work at least 40 hours per week from the office and these policies are effective immediately, according to the report.

In June, Musk said only exceptional employees would be able to work from home. He ended the remote work policy forTesla employees and asked them to work 40 hours a week in the office.

Half of the staff was laid off after Musk took control of the company. He had time to speak to the remaining employees. The staff was uncertain about the direction of the company and how they would be used.

Product deadlines have been set by the billionaire after he promised a lot of features. Employees suggested that they had to sleep at the office to meet deadlines.

The company-wide rest days that were introduced during the Pandemic have been eliminated. One of the first companies to allow employees to work from home wasTwitter.

According to the report, Musk asked the staff to make it a priority to fight fake accounts. A bunch of legacy verified accounts changed their profiles to look like Musk after he announced the new verification program. He said that any fake account will be banned.

The new program allows people to buy out verified check marks. A bunch of accounts started pretending to be brands, athletes and officials after the roll out. New accounts will not be able to sign up for the new subscription plan until later in the year. The company is trying to reduce the amount of junk mail. Existing verified accounts can't change their display names.

If you receive a blue checkmark, you will not be able to change your display name. There will be a new process for any display name changes.

The company has had a rough start to the Musk era with an extremely rough launch to a subscription program.
