NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.
Conversation
We're hearing this is because Elon Musk and his team are terrified employees are going to sabotage the company. Also, they're still trying to figure out which Twitter workers they need to cut access for.
Offices will reopen on November 21st. In the meantime: "Please continue to comply with company policy by refraining from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere."

So far no Twitter employees have been deactivated — even those who’ve publicly resigned. Musk and his team only collected the list of “yes’s” — employees who said they want to be part of Twitter 2.0. They’re still trying to track who is out.

Twitter employees aren’t sabotaging the company. Elon Musk is sabotaging the company.

We’ve seen messages from former Twitter techs encouraging remaining techs to muck up the software. We’ve seen tech people behaving terrible openly towards guy that’s writing payroll checks. So yeah. I would not be surprised if it were happening.

I gotta hand it to Elon Musk.
I could not run a company into the ground this quickly if I tried.

During employee terminations, normal protocol is to eliminate access to all systems and facilities immediately to prevent nefarious actions. Given the scale of terminations at Twitter recently, sometimes more drastic precautions are necessary.
