The 2022 World Cup kicks off this weekend, and Twitter is in even more trouble. Billions of people watch the highly anticipated soccer tournament. According to Twitter Marketing, a surge of those billions of people will view the game while talking about it on Twitter. Insider shares a Twitter press release showing 78.2% of Twitter users watch, follow or have an interest in football. Twitter also says as of March, tweets about the World Cup were already up 425% month over month. What should be a good thing for the company is likely to be a nightmare this time around. That’s because Twitter CEO Elon Musk is battling with his employees.
Reports say Musk sent an email to employees giving them an ultimatum to stay at the company and embrace the new policies or resign with three months’ severance. According to Insider, a google form showed less than half of the 4,000 remaining employees are choosing to stay. The significant loss of employees comes shortly after Musk conducted a mass layoff when first purchasing the company earlier this month. The trending hashtag Twitter shutdown is likely foreseeing the near future.
Hopefully, your co-workers are not planning a mass exodus anytime soon. However, the holidays are here, and if your business is open during the busy season, you are already dealing with a surge of time off requests. Besides requests off for the holidays, call-outs and a current staff shortage are causing you and your boss to suffer from severe burnout. Here’s some help. Monster.com gave this guide on how to manage working when your workplace is a ghost town.
The first thing you should do is set priorities. Before everyone leaves, learn about role or roles you’re filling in for. Review the extra work with your boss to set priorities.
Next, spread the extra work. It’s a good idea to even out the workload with whoever else is stuck working for the holidays. Divide up the extra work and get your supervisor’s approval.
Third, stay focused. Create a to-do list with critical tasks listed first and work your way down. Remember to squeeze in much-needed mini-breaks. Finally, when it’s over, report your results to your supervisor.
