Twitter orders Singapore HQ staff to clear desks, work from home
- Office staff were informed via email on Wednesday that they had until 5pm to leave the CapitaGreen building and resume their duties remotely from Thursday
- Singapore serves as the firm’s Asia-Pacific headquarters, a region that was hit hard by deep and abrupt job cuts when Elon Musk took over US-based Twitter
Workers at Twitter’s Singapore office were told to empty out their desks and vacate the premises, said people familiar with the situation, as Elon Musk continues to pare expenses around the globe.
Twitter staff were informed via email on Wednesday that they had until 5pm to leave the CapitaGreen building and resume their duties remotely from Thursday, one of the people said, asking not to be named discussing private information.
Singapore-based staffers have now been reassigned as remote workers in Twitter’s internal system until further notice, the person added.
Singapore serves as Twitter’s Asia-Pacific headquarters, a region that was hit hard by deep and abrupt job cuts when new owner Elon Musk took over the San Francisco-based firm.
The company this month also let go of Nur Azhar Bin Ayob, who had been the head of site integrity for the region and a relatively recent hire.
