Layoffs were the only choice. The staff at Twitter couldn't make a profitable business, even 10 years after going public. Does it make any sense to keep these same people on the job?
I think people should apply to Twitter en masse. Clog up their likely understaffed HR recruiting process. Profess your love for all things Leon throughout the interview process. Use words like "genius", "disruptive: and "visionary". Say that it would be an honor to work 70+ hours a week for the privelege of seeing the great man's vision become reality.
...and then ghost them
Making financially sound decisions is not toxic! Telling your employees to step up or get out is in the best interest for Twitter. There are plenty of folks applying who know the future is bright as long as you produce! The Covid break many took advantage of by working from home is over! Productivity is going to sky rocket. Let the fun begin!
Its going to difficult to hire new staff when
A: There is no revenue due to advertisers pulling out. EM's daily insane tweets are accelerating that trend
B: The takeover has been so messy with one horror story after another. Who in their right mind would want to work there now?
Traffic has hit all time highs with 5,000 gone and nobody can tell the difference. Actually looking forward to seeing what a competent sales staff can do to start generating revenue. Stay mad, downvoters.
Unless you are desperate for a job and/or Twitter pays very competitively compared with other tech in the area, who would go work for Twitter after the last few weeks? It looks like a toxic environment. Even if it wasn't toxic, I wouldn't want to be forced to work 60 hour work weeks and sleep in the office.
Hire and do what
The house is already burnt!!!
