Twitter Will Allow Employees To Work At Home Forever

Some Twitter employees will never return to their office. From a report: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey emailed employees on Tuesday telling them that they'd be allowed to work from home permanently, even after the coronavirus pandemic lockdown passes. Some jobs that require physical presence, such as maintaining servers, will still require employees to come in. "We've been very thoughtful in how we've approached this from the time we were one of the first companies to move to a work-from-home model," a Twitter spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. "We'll continue to be, and we'll continue to put the safety of our people and communities first." Twitter encouraged its employees to start working from home in early March as the coronavirus began to spread across the US. Several other tech companies did the same, including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. That month, Twitter human resources head Jennifer Christie told BuzzFeed News the company would "never probably be the same" in the structure of its work. "People who were reticent to work remotely will find that they really thrive that way," Christie said. "Managers who didn't think they could manage teams that were remote will have a different perspective. I do think we won't go back."
