There is a sign that says "Love Where You Work" in the UK office. Other staff members said they also wanted to do the same thing as they saw the need to open more offices.
"It means a lot to those people who know the story behind 'Love Where You Work,' but also any employee as we all love being at Twitter, it's something they can relate to as well," said a former "Tweep". One person said it turned into a celebration of the culture of the social networking site.

One person said in the video: "It's bigger than Lucy and it's each and every person's hashtag to take and mold and do what they want with." Another said: "She gifted us a piece of our culture and I think it's open to interpretation. That's the beauty of it – it's what it means to you."The # was changed this week by employees who quit rather than joining Musk's plan for "Twitter 2.0." They posted pictures of their laptops with stickers on them and a farewell caption.
