The headquarters building of Twitter, a social media company acquired by Elon Musk, in San Francisco, USA, has a bad smell and there is no toilet paper in the bathroom.
This is because Twitter stopped contracting with a service company that cleans the company building in accordance with CEO Musk's intensive cost reduction order.
According to the New York Times (NYT) and economic media Insider, Twitter recently terminated the contract with the company for cost reduction after workers at the headquarters building management company went on strike demanding a pay increase. It is known that the smell of food waste thrown away by employees vibrates throughout the headquarters building, and toilet paper in the bathroom runs out, and employees bring personal toilet paper from their own homes.
Twitter closed four floors and relocated employees to two floors to reduce rents in its headquarters building.
Former and current Twitter employees interviewed by the New York Times said, "Since many people work in a narrower office space in the NYT, the office is full of the smell of food waste and people's body odor."
Twitter's situation is similar not only in its San Francisco headquarters, but also in other regional offices.
As Musk took steps to drastically cut costs, the New York office cut off cleaning services and the Seattle office, which was forced to close, stopped paying rent to landlords.
Musk also closed its Sacramento, California, facility, one of Twitter's three largest data centers, to cut costs.
The New York Times said that after Musk took over Twitter and laid off 50% of his employees, he set a goal of reducing about $500 million in other expenses other than labor costs, and 630 billion won of our money.
