Twitter: Remaining employees will hit the jackpot…finally, says Musk

Elon Musk just sent an email to Twitter employees promising them rewards.

After the stick, the carrot? Elon Musk has been relentless since taking over Twitter to delete posts, a never-ending initiative that materialized again with the dismissal of 200 people last week. But now it’s the gifts’ turn to take over.

Performance Awards

Who of you loves Koh Lanta? His secret meetings, his strategies and his endless eliminations? If you are a fan of the show, the latest upheavals at Twitter should interest you. The analogy is not only due to the cascading departures recorded within the American firm, but also to the rewards that seem to await the remaining ones.

Indeed, Elon Musk has just sent an internal memo to all of his troops in which he announces the holding of “Performances Awards” on March 24. It intends to allocate Twitter shares to employees on this date, the allocation of which will be made according to the measured performance of each employee. In his own words, ” those who remain are highly appreciated by those around them “.

Employees still in the dark

It remains to be seen how this transfer of Twitter shares will take place. Elon Musk has several times internally referred to the system put in place within his other company, SpaceX. This makes it possible to connect investors and employees who wish to regularly buy shares in the aeronautical company. But one can be dubious as to the possible success of such a solution within a Twitter sunk in financial difficulties.

In addition, the trust between the staff and the management must not be in good shape. The chat channels were gradually cut off. Again last week, employees were able to see that it was now impossible for them to use the Slack channel of Twitter, just like Google Chat. Will the “Performance Awards” bring a little pink to the gray of Twitter’s everyday life?
