San Francisco orders Twitter to stop using conference rooms as bedrooms or get a new permit

Go to bed — or go home.

The San Francisco Building Inspection Department told Twitter's construction contractor on Monday that it needs to change the classification of meeting rooms that are instead used as bedrooms, according to Insider.

The correction notice stated “it was observed that some of the conference rooms were being used as rest or rest areas for employees,” according to the outlet.

Twitter CEO and owner Elon Musk bought the company in October, then took it private, laid off half the staff, and installed a different and “extremely hardcore” work culture.

A first photo of an employee sleeping in the office in a sleeping bag has gone viral.

In early December, Forbes posted a photo of a meeting room on Twitter being converted into bedrooms, complete with armchairs and a bedside table, prompting an investigation by the Department of Building Inspection.

The BBC also reported in early December around the same time that an employee said Musk had been sleeping in the office since the purchase was finalized and that a conference room had become a "hotel room ".

A city planning department employee told the San Francisco Chronicle that the distinction is important because meeting rooms cost different amounts than rooms for commercial buildings.< /p>

Musk previously referred to the conversions as simply “providing beds for tired employees,” on Twitter.
