He’s got rid of around 90% and good, a lot of them where self entitled lazy f**ks. Bitching they have to pay for lunch, no more free meals. A senior engineer your looking at 250-500k

Making videos showing how lazy and how much of the piss you’re taking, oh 10am here getting my latte, then chilling out catching up, to then a glass of wine on tap and to the roof garden. That’s not a person who’s working 35-40hours, it’s a day out with mates.

Twitter will save an easy 500m to 1b in wages/benefits.

The advertisers will be back when they realise they are losing out to there competitors who are either still on or go back before them. Eapecialy with sales down and Christmas around the corner.

Many revenue streams available moving forward.

And despite it all traffic is up due to all the media attention and the platform is still available.

absolutely not, i have no idea where this weird narrative that all these employees were lazy and entitled is coming from. there may have been some dead weight, usually is in most organizations, but the scope of the layoffs is absolutely staggering and is complete mismanagement.

I think it’s jealousy

Like if there’s anyone to blame for over hiring, it’s the CEO and execs

How is any of this the fault of the workers

Even if you’re a sheeple who’s eaten this “narrative” that Twitter workers are evil liberals … the workers are not making content decisions — their bosses are

Taking glee in workers who are just following exec’s orders getting fired is some weird brainwashing

And like… execs actually making these decisions are getting like $20million to $1billion+ pay packages

And you’re blaming workers making less than 1% of that?

Same reason they convinced themselves some SWE making $400k is dead weight or that your performance is based on lines of code written.

Remember when Google had all that fun fancy shit in their offices and tech blogs couldn’t get enough of it?

There’s no shame in offering welcoming work environments.

We get it, you work for a dumpster from 7-5 and are miserable, you dont have to put people down for having worked at a job you wish you had.

Because them hours are rubbish. Sorry are you jumping to the conclusion of the number of hours? Appose to the time of the day?

I don’t like working all the day light hours inside, many down sides to this, I prefer to have some of them hours for myself and work later through the day/evening. Benefit of working for your self and able to choose your core hours.

Damn my bad, I thought that according to you, people were lazy for working less than you. You're working less than me so it seems fair.
