Twitter employees head for the exits after Elon Musk’s ‘extremely hardcore’ work ultimatum

[shockedcanadian]

According to CNN there is a mass exodus in place now and twitter has blocked all badge access.

Good. A generation of people who believe being tech savvy means an easy ride on someone elses dime. This company has been leaking money for years.

New York CNN Business —

Another employee exodus appears to be underway at Twitter as many workers rejected Elon Musk’s terms for staying with the company, choosing instead to depart, according to multiple current and former employees.


As the deadline approached for Twitter employees to respond to Elon Musk’s ultimatum to commit to working in an “extremely hardcore” fashion at the company or leave, some employees appeared to publicly indicate they had chosen the latter option. On Thursday afternoon, Twitter staffers began posting the salute emoji, which has become a signal that someone is exiting the company. One Twitter employee said in a tweet that deciding to join the company was “one of the easiest decisions ever made. Deciding to leave today was 100% the opposite.”


Meanwhile, an internal Slack channel at the company was filled with employees posting the salute emoji after the 5pm ET deadline, indicating they had chosen not to sign Musk’s pledge and depart the company, employees told CNN.

I'm beginning to like Elon! a lot....a whole lot!

 

[Desperado]

Brilliant move by Musk, Getting the slackers to leave on their own.
No unemployment pay and no severance pay,

Elon Musk pays people a lot, but he expects a full day's work.

Makes sense to me.

If you want to fuck off, you should seek work with a union instead.

 

[MarathonMike]

That's what I would do. It's not like they produce anything, so cut to the bone and see where the true needs are.

I'd work for Elon. I love hard work and beating competition. It should be a challenge and it's a badge of honour to win in business, whatever the pursuit.

It appears he has quite a bit of dead wood who have enjoyed the Country Club on other peoples dime for too long. He is wise to get rid of any lazy anti-Americans and replace them accordingly.

Musk has created a hostile work environment for high tech employees.
His corporate thuggery is not gaining him a loyal workforce as workers leave in droves

Doesnt build faith in his management style

He realized quickly how poorly run the company had been, he is demanding that if people love the company that they commit to working hard. If not, F off. Free speech will thrive, they don't want it to.

They showed their true colors, at a time in which inflation is high and people are struggling they show themselves to be entitled. It's like his entire twitter team are Canadian government employees.

No because he did offer 3 months severance pay if they left voluntarily. No unemployment though.

It's just amazing to me that employees would rather quit than perform.

What kind of vacations were they on?

A-players know a dilettante when they see one.

Hundreds of staffers appear to have called it quits, accepting Musk's offer to exit in exchange for three months of severance.

He is crippling his company and alienating his workforce

Musk is extraordinarily wealthy, and makes ordinary billionaires like Trump and Ye look like paupers in comparison.

I think he knows how to get people motivated to make money for him.

Why is it thuggery? He offered them severance pay and told them they could stay however they were going to get competitive. New owners make rules and change direction and implement their standards all the time, why is use wrong?


Btw, thuggery is a racist term, interesting you use a racist term.

He offered severance because the law said he had to
To get competitive, he has fired half his workforce and is demanding the remaining employees to work extra uncompensated hours to make up the difference

How is it thuggery, he isn’t forcing anyone to stay, take you severance and go find a new job, thousands are out there in this job rich Biden economy. Should Musk just lose billions and not do anything? When it goes bankrupt, all the workers lose severance. There is no thuggery as you claim.

Musk is losing billions because he grossly overpaid for Twitter
He is expecting his employees to make up the difference

That is thuggery
