- Twitter employees at it SF headquarters said the company is a much less attractive place to work, Platform reports.
- One employee said the company has obtained the "absolute worst coffee vendors on earth."
- Another employee said the company's Slack has become a "ghost town."
Twitter had one of its largest outages in years on Wednesday, with users complaining about not being able to tweet, retweet, direct message, or follow people.
The interruption was the latest hiccup Twitter has faced since Elon Musk took over the platform and ushered in a new era of cutting back on costs and stricter workplace protocols.
But many employees of the company are not exactly happy with the changes Musk has brought — especially those who work at Twitter's San Francisco headquarters, according to the Platformer newsletter.
"I know this sounds petty, but they appear to have obtained the absolute worst coffee vendors on earth," one current employee said, according to Platformer.
Breakfast and lunch were once free at the San Francisco headquarters. Now, workers have to pay for food, the same employee said.
Added to that, the makeshift bedrooms Musk organized at the San Francisco headquarters are still there, and employees have to reserve them in advance, Platformer reported.
The landlord of the company's San Francisco headquarters sued Twitter in January for failing to pay rent for two months.
The company's Slack messaging platform, once "the epicenter of Twitter's open culture, where employees discussed anything and everything" has now gone "dormant," Platformer reported.
One employee told Platformer, "people don't even chat about work things anymore."
Platformer reported that when people pass each other in the hallway they greet each other by saying, "where are you interviewing?" and "where do you have offers?"
Still, remaining employees say Elon Musk's Twitter, which they call Twitter 2.0, has seen some improvements under its new CEO.
"In the past, Twitter operated too often by committees that went nowhere," one employee said. "I do appreciate the fact that if you want to do something that you think will improve something, you generally have license to do it. But that's a double edged sword — moving that fast can lead to unintended consequences."
Twitter did not immediately respond to Insider's request for a comment.
