Read the following text about working online for Twitter
Twitter has told many of its employees they can work from home forever if they want. CEO Jack
Dorsey told workers on Tuesday that they will be allowed to work from home even after the
coronavirus pandemic ends. Twitter said: "Opening offices will be our decision. When and if our
employees come back, will be their [decision]." Twitter was one of the first companies to let
workers work from home in the pandemic. Twitter said most of its offices would not open before
September. It added when they do open, it would be "careful, intentional, office by office and
gradual".

Twitter is in a good position to have workers working from their home. Many employees and
bosses can contact each other on video chat platforms like Zoom. Twitter said: "We were
uniquely positioned to respond quickly and allow folks to work from home." It said its workforce is
"capable of working from anywhere". It added: "The past few months have proven we can make
[working from home] work. If our employees are in a role and situation that enables them to work
from home and they want to continue to do so forever, we will make that happen."
