It is really interesting watching Twitter collapse. Just delete it and start over.
Must has done what was required. Twitter was a day care center for the woke and lazy. They felt because they are a tweep they will always have a cushy job. Wrong. Twitter was failing and they were too communist trump deranged to see it. Tweeps are cancer, Elon is the chemo. Go Elon!
So, did anyone actually show up at the office as demanded or did they all quit? I worked for a small company around 2010 and we had had a manager demand we all fly into Denver by the next morning from all over the US and Canada or else. Only two of the fifteen of us made it and oddly enough none of us were terminated.
Yes, companies owe you nothing. In the case of Twitter employees, they were not only producing something that was detrimental to society, but producing something that was not profitable even after a decade. Therefore, whatever they produced was doubly useless. Most employees at a company work on products that don't make money and instead get paid because of the foundations laid by the initial employees. So it's astounding that Twitter could not still generate a profit. Therefore, what Musk did is the only way the current employees could have been treated, and the only possible direction is up from now on. There will be plenty of hungry employees still on board and new hires who will genuinely make Twitter a more profitable/better company.
"Twitter owes you nothing! You are paid to do your job based on how the company dictates. They are paying you! You do not decide on the terms of your employment."
So if your boss tells you to bend over desk, drop pants and drawers, no lube... you do it? Sheesh, what a brainless sheep.

And what sort of lame point was that supposed to make? You do realize it goes both ways, right? As in if said employer and the CEO starts acting insane or starts treating employees like cr-p then they have the right to leave, right? You see, there is a reason to treat employees well.... Because they will appreciate it and reward the employer by staying.
This has to be, hands down- one of the most disastrous business transactions ever. Apparently a further 1200 people quit today. What Elon failed to realize and should have known is that in a software company your assets are only able to exist because of the staff who runs things. Even if said engineers are replaced by new ones nobody that actually knew how the code base worked is left. He has absolutely done everything in the book to almost guarantee that the top talent has either already left or will be leaving as soon as they find something else. What will be left is a rudderless ship with nobody there to take the helm. I'd say Twitter has a chance of experiencing catastrophic system-wide failure. Sorry for all of the employees who got caught in the middle. But they deserve better.

Unfortunately this sounds like my former tyrant narcissistic boss where I had to report on short notice and give up my life for that job for over 15 yrs. When I finally had left that job, I didnt look back and now Im more successful in my current career 16 yrs later. I wished i left much earlier in my life. So what happened to my former boss? He has dementia and cant care for himself. He lost all his businesses and all my personal assets were sold in auction. Lesson: Dont let an overdemanding sh---y boss ruin your life. You have options if you just research and take a chance.
