“This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade,” he added.
Staff had been asked to follow a link to affirm their commitment to “the new Twitter” by 5:00 pm New York time (2200 GMT) on Thursday.
“I may be #exceptional, but gosh darn it, I’m just not #hardcore,” tweeted one former employee, Andrea Horst, whose LinkedIn profile still reads “Supply Chain & Capacity Management (Survivor) @Twitter.”
She added the hashtag “#lovewhereyouworked,” as did many other employees announcing their choice.
