Twitter Employee Who Slept On Office Floor Saved From Layoffs!

She is lucky as she survived mass layoffs of Twitter after Elon Musk took over the company and became its new CEO. The lady in question is Esther Crawford. Her picture went viral globally as she was spotted sleeping on the floor at the office after work. The pic was first shared by her team member and it was later retweeted by her. 

Evan Jones, a product manager for Twitter Spaces, shared the picture and wrote his boss fast asleep on the office floor, curled up in a sleeping bag, and with a sleep mask pulled over her eyes.  “When you need something from your boss at elon twitter,” Evan Jones wrote while sharing the photograph. Esther Crawford retweeted the photo, writing: “When your team is pushing round the clock to make deadlines sometimes you #SleepWhereYouWork.”

After the picture went viral, Esther received criticism from netizens. Esther defended her act and wrote on Twitter, “Since some people are losing their minds I’ll explain: doing hard things requires sacrifice (time, energy, etc). I have teammates around the world who are putting in the effort to bring something new to life so it’s important to me to show up for them & keep the team unblocked.”

However,  many Twitterati believed that Esther’s ‘sleepgate’ photo set unrealistic expectations for productivity, amid the severe threat of job cuts. After several layoffs at Twitter, Elon Musk gave tight deadlines to his employees. 

Luckily, Esther didn’t suffer layoff and she was among the fortunate ones who survived the mass layoffs. 

As per Linkedin, Esther is the director of product management at Twitter for nearly two years. She is playing a pivotal role in the company’s transition.
