[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter]https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1593455727611215872[/twitter] He's finished, finished! lol. You saps don't realize the choreographed astroturfed pushback is from the Silicon Valley machine which is full of freeloading deadweight who don't want their a**es to be next on the employment line. How could you not watch those viral TikToks of worthless sorority girls bragging about doing LITERALLY nothing all day at their "tech job" and realize the entire industry was full of dead weight?[/quote] Everyone’s on Twitter because they want to be there at the moment the lights inevitably go out. You get that, right? Please tell me you don’t think that “oops we fired the people who control access so we had to lock everyone out of the building” is some form of 3D chess.[/quote] Do you think websites only "stay up" because a webmaster is peddling a bicycle? You think DCUM's owner and his wife take turns peddling a bicycle 24 hours a day?[/quote] Like…what? You think a platform like Twitter doesn’t need people to run it?[/quote] Maybe <10% of the aces at twitter did any real work. Elon sought out those [b]whales[/b] who do all the work, then [b]culled[/b] the deadweight. Now the whales get to help decide the few who get to come back. I mean seriously, do you think all of those viral worthless idiot sorority girls who were posting tiktoks about drinking smoothies and doing yoga at their "tech jobs" are necessary? It was pointless bloat x1000s. [twitter]https://twitter.com/oliverbcampbell/status/1593434329153245185[/twitter][/quote] That only works if the whales don't leave. The choices where three months severance plus a job at a competitor or staying with longer hours and fewer perks to work for a private company that is hemorrhaging money (not great if you expect to be compensated with equity). It appears that many of the whales have left. [/quote] +1. DH works in tech and has been through several acquisitions. Generally, they freeze most hiring and firing for about 90 days to get in and really study the structure of the company and the individual teams and departments and make a long term business plan. After that, layoffs may happen quickly. But they have a purpose in line with the business plan. Not “if you don’t like it, leave”. His company has been getting resumes from talented tweets and is hoping to hire some. It appears that most of those left behind aren’t whales— they can easily get a new job and not have to deal with the chaos and cr*p. It’s immigrants with Visas tied to Twitter who can’t be out of status. Those folks are shopping around too. They just couldn’t walk away yesterday. [/quote] Twitter had a unique disease, one in which people were shaping news to fit a narrative. They were working with the Biden administration to do so. The way they went about their business would not have stood up to Constitutional scrutiny. It’s imperative to stop this behavior quickly, even if that means chaos.[/quote] Oh do tell about “Constitutional scrutiny”….[/quote]
