The image was posted by Evan Jones, Product Manager at Twitter Spaces with the caption,

When you need something from your boss at Elon Twitter.

Ms Crawford retweeted the photo with the caption, "When your team works around the clock to set deadlines, you sometimes #SleepWhereYouWork."

Crawford's post sparked disturbing reactions on social media. She wrote on Twitter, “Since some people are losing their minds, I will explain: doing difficult things requires sacrifice (time, energy, etc).

I have my teammates around the world making an effort to bring something new to life, so it's important for me to show up for them and keep the team open. "

In another tweet, she said: "I work with amazingly talented and ambitious people here at Twitter and this is not an ordinary moment in time.

We're less than a week into a huge commercial and cultural shift. People give it everything they have in all functions: product, design, engineering, legal, finance, marketing, etc.”

“We are #OneTeam and using the hashtag #LoveWhereYouWork to show it off, which is why I retweeted #SleepWhereYouWork - a cheerful gesture to my fellow Tweeps.

We've been in the midst of a crazy public takeover for months now, but we're continuing to do so and I'm very proud of our strength and resilience."

According to reports, Twitter employees are working longer hours than before Elon Musk took over the social media platform. CNBC reports that Twitter managers have been told to work 12-hour shifts,

Seven days a week.

A New York Post report says that Musk has asked workers to "literally work 24/7 to meet deadlines to fix the Twitter user verification process. The report said workers fear they will lose their jobs if they can't complete the project by the end of the week."
