Twitter boss Elon Musk has reportedly slashed the company’s paid parental leave from 20 weeks to just two weeks.
The company, which Musk bought for $44 billion last year, has not only fired half of the employees, but also implemented several new rules as cost-cutting measures. Now recent reports suggest that Twitter’s CEO has rolled out a new change to the company’s parental leave policy.
According to New York Times a partnership with Paid Leave for All, launched by workers was a campaign in the US, which Musk has reportedly done away with.
This leaves the company well out of step with major tech corporations across the country, and strikes a huge blow at the entire workforce but particularly women, many of whom may be forced back to work bleeding and exhausted, in order to pay their bills and not fall into debt.
New: Twitter used to offer employees 20 weeks of paid parental leave. That’s being changed to whatever is required by law in the region where the employees work, along with a “top up” of two weeks of leave, per internal docs.
