Twitter employees can work at home forever

Twitter has told many of its employees they can work from home forever. The boss, Jack Dorsey, told
workers they can work from home even after the COVID-19 pandemic ends. Twitter said it will decide when it will
open its offices, but that will not happen before September. It said workers will decide when to
come back. It added when they open, it will be "careful, intentional, office by office and gradual".

Twitter is in a good position for workers to work at home. Workers can contact each other on video chat
platforms like Zoom. Twitter said it could help workers at home very quickly. It said its workers are "capable of
working from
anywhere". It added that workers have successfully worked at home in the past few months. It said: "If they want
to continue to do so forever, we will make that happen."
