Elon Musk sparks confusion and anger among Twitter employees who say reduced parental leave policy is 'the last straw'
Twitter's Walter Gilbert tried in an email to calm angry employees over a much-reduced leave policy.Twitter leaders are now worried about retention as the workforce is already down by 90%.
Walter Gilbert, who joined Twitter last month from Reddit and had an earlier stint at SpaceX, told employees on Saturday that he wanted to"clarify" changes made last month to the company's parental leave policy, according to two people familiar with the company. Without any official announcement or communication to workers, Twitter changed an internal document on parental leave, reducing paid time off for new parents to two weeks from the previous 20 weeks, as Insider reported.
Gilbert's weekend email seemed liked an attempt to walk back the new hard line on parental leave, the people familiar said. He told workers that"birthing parents" would be allowed 12 weeks of paid leave"subject to local requirements." Yet, workers are still very"confused" about what the policy is or is going to be, the people familiar said.We know there are a lot of questions about our parental leave policy.
