Elon has no clue how to manage a company where people are the product. it's not batteries and rockets.

There may not be a good way to fire people. But there absolutely is a bad way. In fact, several bad ways. And Twitter Inc.’s self-appointed chief twit, Elon Musk, seems to have hit on most of... — read more 

Elon Musk has given employees until Thursday evening to commit to “extremely hardcore” work or else leave the company!

Musk as CEO of Twitter is doing the exact same thing that all other CEOs of all other corporations do, layoff people. So, why is this bigger news than all the other layoffs, RAs, firings, acquisitions which result in layoffs and firings?

Twitter sent an HR email to every laid off employee acknowledging it's late getting people their separation agreements and release of claims. But the company messed up the BCC and it has become a reply-all catastrophe.

Just curious between the meta/Twitter layoffs if there will be a slowdown of hiring, and more competition in the dev space. I’m a life long fabricator turning programmer, simply because I want to live anywhere but where I’m at, and work from... — read more 

That's too fast. Glad the misery wont continue long for the employees there.

If I wasn't laid off, I probably would have left very quickly anyway. The only thing I will miss from Twitter is the opportunity to work with amazing people and nothing more.

I missed that part. Does anyone know what are the criteria for getting a specific exception from RTO?
