Twitter Tells All Workers to Stay Home Amid the Coronavirus Outbreak
Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) is stepping up its response to the global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic by ordering all its employees to work from home.
The microblogging service employs 4,900 people around the globe, with offices in the U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korea. Earlier this month, Twitter said it would pay its contractors and hourly employees their normal wages during the outbreak, even if they are unable to do their jobs from home.
Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google earlier this week called for its North American employees to work remotely if their roles allowed it. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Google, and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) have also committed to paying contractors and hourly workers who are impacted by the outbreak and related business disruptions.
