Twitter user blastedElon Musk has cut Twitter employees’ parental leave from 20 weeks to two weeks, according to a report.Musk has instituted sweeping changes at Twitter since taking over the company last fall.One current Twitter employee took to the social media platform Blind to rail against Musk, writing sarcastically: “Still love the smartest man on the planet?”Other Twitter users blasted Musk for his previous statements about the urgency of increasing the global birthrate.
New: Twitter used to offer employees 20 weeks of paid parental leave. That’s being changed to whatever is required by law in the region where the employees work, along with a “top up” of two weeks of leave, per internal docs.Google’s parental leave policy allows for fathers to take up to 16 weeks while mothers can get paid while bonding with their newborn for 24 weeks.
Brooklyn-based online marketplace Etsy offers its employees a generous leave policy of 26 weeks fully paid. Musk, one of the world’s richest tycoons by virtue of his stake in electric car maker Tesla, bought Twitter in a highly leveraged deal worth $44 billion last fall. Since taking over, Musk has instituted radical changes, including laying off more than 70% of the company’s workforce — which numbered 7,500 before the acquisition last year and which has now been whittled down to some 2,000 workers.
