The social media platform "Twitter" informed its employees that the company's office buildings will be closed temporarily, and this decision will take effect immediately. In a message seen by the BBC, the company told workers that the offices would reopen on Monday, November 21. The company did not provide a reason for this move. This announcement comes amid reports of a large number of employees resigning after the new owner, Elon Musk, required them to work "long hours at a high intensity" or leave the company. The company stated in the message: "Please continue to comply with the company's policy of refraining from discussing confidential company information on social media, the press, or anywhere else." Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the BBC.
