Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told employees Tuesday that they'll be allowed to work from home indefinitely, even after COVID-19 shutdowns are lifted, $4 first reported.

Dorsey also reportedly said that Twitter's offices won't be reopened until September at the earliest. Twitter first told employees to start working from home in $4. The offer doesn't extend to employees whose jobs mandate that they return to the office, like those tasked with server maintenance.

Other major tech companies have announced lenient work-from-home plans, but few go as far as Twitter. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon have $4 that they can keep working from home through the fall even if their offices reopen sooner.

Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, Dorsey voiced plans to encourage a "distributed workforce" with more remote employees living outside San Francisco, where the company is headquartered.

"I don't fear any slowness as we work to distribute our workforce now, and I do think we have to build a company that's not entirely dependent on San Francisco," Dorsey $4 during a February earnings call. "As we look forward we're reaching a talent pool that expects a lot more remote work, … we should be building our company around that. I haven't made any plans just yet for this year, but I do expect that I will travel."

A Twitter spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
