Twitter’s London headquarters was abandoned today, with all traces of the social media corporation ever occupying the building wiped.
The iconic Piccadilly Circus location was once a hub for UK-based staff, but entire teams are understood to have lost their jobs during Elon Musk’s £38billion takeover. …
Prospect, the union representing thousands of disgruntled workers, issued a letter if demand to Twitter calling for an emergency meeting over the treatment of staff.
General Secretary Mike Clancy said: ‘We are deeply concerned by further reports of the treatment of Twitter employees. From removal of remote working, demanding commitment to long hours and unsustainable working practices, and now locking employees out of their offices.
‘Big tech barons are not above the law and we will hold Twitter to legal account where possible.’
[“Where possible” being the operative phrase. So far, Musk has been careful to overcomply with federal law here on layoffs. — Ed]
