More layoffs - but how?

Who is even left to get rid of, other than some desperate people who truly have no choice, that is? All those with options or worth their salt have walked away already. I swear, it'll not take nearly as long as I thought for this whole wobbly house... — read more

Elon has the right to do what he wants as he spent a lot of money to buy Twitter. However, the insensitive manner in which he did it shows a lack of human empathy. The bird is dead the culture is destroyed. The massive cuts are due to the extra 13... — read more

How would this affect severance? 

I think we can all agree that Twitter is headed for bankruptcy. Now, I know next to nothing about the bankruptcy process, and my online research has only served to increase my confusion. Can someone please clarify to me what this would mean in terms... — read more

Meanwhile in Europe

So Musk sent emails to European Twitter employees, firing them. Problem is, you cannot legally fire people that way here, so legally they're still employed and legally owed money for their time. But also, firing people as exists in the USA doesn't... — read more

Musk Will Have Last Laugh

He is going to staff Twitter with the same caliber of real engineers just like at Tesla and Spacex. There will be potholes along the way but I would not bet against him. He will get rid all of the pseudo engineers who know some programming language... — read more
