Twitter was one of the first major companies to implement a work-from-home policy as COVID-19 began to turn lives upside down, and now, two months in, the model could become a long term reality for Twitter employees worldwide.<\/p>\n
Jack Dorsey, CEO and co-founder of Twitter, told employees on Tuesday that they could continue to work from home. Permanently. Even after lockdown ends.<\/p>\n
A rep for the social media platform confirmed as much, stating that the last few months have shown it’s a model that can work, and if employees are in a role and situation that enables them to work from home, and they want to continue to do so, Twitter will make it happen.<\/p>\n
This follows news that Google and Facebook extended work from home policies<\/a> until the end of the year.<\/p>\n There are a small number of roles, like our data center folks, that require on site, but otherwise yes! All will be updated distributed.<\/p>\n — jack (@jack) May 12, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDorsey added in a later tweet that a number of roles would need to be on site<\/h2>\n
