Elon Cleaning House

Missed two

 

That's hilariously harder than it should be. 75%

 

You watch too much Simpsons. You should go pro.

 

Interesting story on how Musk uses Twitter (it’s a lot for an allegedly busy. Giy) and who or what he follows.

How I Got Inside Elon Musk’s Head

 

Yet you’re still hanging on every utterance…

 

nope, not on twitter, don't use it. Musk got out over his skis on this one, watching the crash is just cheap entertainment

 

Oh man, I missed this. After firing the half the staff, he told the rest they'd have to work 80 hour weeks ... Some managers told their staff to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week. I can't imagine anyone left there isn't sending out resumes.

He's mad that he was forced to buy this company and is taking it out on the employees. What an ass.

 

I the latest debacle at Twitter it turns out that no one want to be a “hardcore” employee. A second mass exodus is happening and apparently Musk is backtracking furiously to keep people who didn’t click “yes”.

He’s going to be left with a bunch a of backbencher contract types who can’t leave due to their visa status.

Delicious!
Twitter employees head for the exits after Elon Musk' 'extremely hardcore' work ultimatum

 

And his next problem is going to be finding new talent. You can't publicly treat the long term employees like this and expect to get good people to replace them. Highly skilled tech workers are in demand have a ton of options.

 

I originally thought that Elon would cut costs abdlook to salvage as much of his $44B purchase (which he futilely tried to scuttle) and move on but it looks like his aim is to shut down operations

there’s this….



and this

 

Yeah, I’m sure that looks great on their tech resume as Silicon Valley is gearing up for hundreds of thousands of layoffs. “I quit Twitter because Elon was just too demanding.” Yeah, I’m sure other tech firms will get a hard on hearing that.

 

Idiots on THFSG using fake news from Twitter to dump on…Twitter. Brilliant…

 

It’s abundantly apparent you don’t know much about Silicon Valley employees and culture

 

Not fake ... the guy has a blue checkmark. That means he's either legit or has $8 to spare, one of the two.

 

Employees are quitting Twitter en masse lol.

 

A lot of people are quite understanding of a talented employee not wanting to work for a demanding, unreasonable employer, especially a demanding, unreasonable, incompetent employer.

 

The employees left will be told to work 160 hours a week to make up for this.

 

From CNBC ...

“Entire teams representing critical infrastructure are voluntarily departing the company, leaving the company at serious risk of being able to recover,” the engineer, who said they were handing in their resignation on Thursday, wrote to CNBC.

The engineer added that many leaving Twitter did not feel the need to stay, and that they only knew of two people staying, one because the company sponsored their U.S. visa.

“We are skilled professionals with lots of options, so Elon has given us no reasons to stay and many to leave,” they wrote.

Keep using Twitter to predict impending doom of…Twitter.

 

He originally wanted to layoff 75% of the company. He lays off 50% and let’s the other 25% walk on their own. Sounds like pretty much the way every other large company handles it. Severances don’t have to be paid when they quit.
