On Wednesday Elon Musk reportedly sent an ultimatum to Twitter’s workforce: Sign on to his approach to Twitter, including long “hardcore” work hours, or leave the company. Employees had to reply “yes” to the option to stay by 5 p.m. ET on Thursday or be let go with three months of severance pay. Many, it appears, chose to leave.

Around the same time, the company’s remaining employees were reportedly locked out of its San Francisco headquarters, with Platformer’s Zoe Schiffer reporting that Twitter’s buildings are closed and badge access suspended until Nov. 21. Twitter, which no longer appears to have a PR team, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
