Why do conservatives think “work harder for less money” is a winning message?
@James Biggar except it’s dying g because of conservatives control it now. Democrats will find something else that Elon doesn’t own. Move on.
@Kevin Needham I run a small manufacturing business. There is little I can do with labor costs or other input costs. Trimming staff or hours would risk critical mass. I could screw suppliers and have them screw me on input material quality – which would just cost me money in rejects. The place where I have trimmed is in improving quality. Improving processing methods and equipment to reduce or eliminate rejects. 100 units of material in and 99 out is twice as profitable as 96 QC passes going out the door. Go look up the Red Bead Experiment.
You seem to know a lot about being screwed by employers – have you thought about starting a business where employee’s aren’t screwed?
@MRTOOTH0331 I have no idea what the man’s idea is. It looks to be like he’s purchased a business and turning it upside down inside out and ruining it. Buying a business for $40+b that’s loosing $3m a day and making this many extreme changes this fast is just stupid. A $1b yearly loss could be clawed back with better oversight and management. I’m not in his league (obviously), if I brought a business for $4m that was loosing $300 a day – I wouldn’t rip it’s guts out and ruin it the way he is… Twitters level of loss versus value should have allowed for a quick return to profit without all the turmoil – 3700 firings, all the subsequent resignations, the loss of all the IP and the probable loss of critical mass is just stupid. I hope his investment tanks and it gives others an opportunity to fill the void.
Because when you’re the overseer the system works to your benefit.
@LucyCan they are so evil
Brilliant. Exactly what the employees should have done. You can’t bully everyone if they all stand together.
@caprio yeah, gutless morons probably would put up with unreasonable changes to terms and conditions. Would you say, “Thank you Sir, anything else I can do for you Sir.” Let’s just wait and see if your hero Musk comes out of this smelling like perfume or something else.
@FreeSpeech orDIE!!! 😂 oh yeah, “Stop the steal!” Short memory mate, short memory.
@Andrew Bazeley youtube was deleting your comment because they think you’re a bot 😂🤣😂🤣
@Andrew Bazeley mate????? Mate?????
Are you not American? If not then you do not belong here. Leave NOW
@FreeSpeech orDIE!!! why did he call them back free speech or did your hero is a idiot he bans people for mocking him! He’s a beta always has been always will be
People don’t want to work themselves to death. Many people including myself have families and the great thing about being an engineer in the industry is that a lot of companies are onboard with ensuring employees have a good work-life balance and want to keep people happy. I would do the same thing and leave if I worked at Twitter then go to somewhere else where you were valued. I wasn’t shocked at all to hear about the mass exodus of employees. They can have a job almost anywhere in a few days to weeks.
@Claire Mercer who said they’re working 2 jobs? When did healthcare become a right? Who said they weren’t being paid a decent wage?
@Belly Dancer Em there should be more democratising, but managing people, doing the paperwork that comes from ownership are their own disciplines with more responsibility as to where things should go.
But Twitter is the last thing I care about becoming a workers co-op.
@kyle please type in English.
@kyle We are all much better off than we were in 1980.
If you don’t see that you are blind.
Tom leaking you’re a 🤡
Elon has made the case for taxing the hell out of Billionaires/Millionaires
I call them millibillies (hillbillies)
@Clive Smith That’s genius. I like it
I agree, and we should keep pressing that issue until the little people are doing better economically! Why should the rich get all those breaks and not any of the rest of us?
Socialism/communism doesn’t work. More than 40% of the country should pay income tax.
By what, doing more for the country with his fortune than the government does? He bought back the electric car. He made space travel much cheaper, and because he says some giddy things and wrecks the most corrosive company in America and we are supposed to care?
Great to hear some positive news for a change, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
You don’t know who this so called nice guy is, this is who he is
@BXI I was a fan of Tesla from the Elise-based sports car, and now electric vehicles have arrived, and I agree we need to go to Mars and SpaceX has made that more likely than ever, but Twitter is a pure ego move for Musk, he has no expertise here, and clearly his attitude has already made his acquisition a failure. Not everything he touches is gold, and he needs to be humbled. Sorry for the careers that need to be readjusted in emergency mode in order to teach him the lesson, but the writing was on the wall, they had time to evacuate pre-Musk, at this point, it’s on them.
@Jeff Goddin Why do we need to go to Mars? What exactly do you expect us to gain?
@BXI Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket. The best minds don’t give us another thousand years on Earth, if we want the story to continue, we need more baskets.
@C L I did not see anything like that. You might have seen it on one of the MSM democratic networks. Sounds like made up left crap.
I wonder how those investors feel about this…
This is people power. His billionaire status means nothing unless he’s helping people with it. It’s time for us to see that we have the power, not the billionaires, they mean nothing without us.
Now if only you pions felt this way about the real elitist criminals “the globalists” whom frequented epstiens Island. You spaz out over the entirely wrong things.
@Paradox World money only has value because both sides agree there is value. If two sides a trying to make a deal, if I refuse money for payment..you have to offer something else.
He’s still helping humanity. He’s just wrecking this corrosive company on the side.
@Florida Bob That’s anti democratic.
He’s helping himself,not humanity.
If you enter a room full of people at a party and everyone looks at you and suddenly scrambles for the exit, then this should tell you something.
What Musk apparently reads from this is “Great, I did not need those people, they are losers anyway – this is my room now and I can party however I like”.
Except that those leaving took all the furniture, the buffet, the music box and the bar with them.
@Rider 38 you literally just argued Twitter employees work 4 hours a week and now you’re like well that’s cuz they deserve it????? Pick a lane bro
@Julian Campbell That doesn’t answer my question. And you have the balls to call me brainwashed with that half-cocked answer 🙄
@Julian Campbell Project Veritas exposed a Twitter employee who admitted on hidden camera that they only work 4 hours a week.
You’re just a brainwashed simpleton who never saw that because you watch mainstream media trash like CNN.
@Rider 38 life ain’t black and white, dog. Read a book
@Gabriel Boorom Are they more or less miserable then they would be if they were working 80 hours a week for the same pay, hmmm
Sad. Most people don’t recognize that people are the most important resource for a company. Both at the executive level, and the floor worker level.
Not these idiots
Losing Twitter isn’t exactly the end of the world.
@stylac for idiots that ramble on it, unfortunately it is
@Roger Ward
Unfortunately? 🤣 LOL
They deserve it.
Ambitious people would certainly see this as an opportunity, but I would argue this sort of work ethic is best reserved for projects of profound importance to the future of our society. It’s hard to see Twitter in this light to justify that kind of dedication.
@Shema Yisrael well. He certainly isn’t running Twitter with excellence
@Andrew Pinson no the way you think is why companies exploit workers. There’s a difference in working hard, and being overworked. Workers keep a company running and when they feel that their company is not treating them properly they will move on to another company.
@Belly Dancer Em he’s building his team and dumping the broken team that was there stifling not only opinion but troublesome realities like Hunter and Joe’s alleged, but real, illegal business dealings. Twitter was a propaganda arm. It needed to be purged and so it is purging. It will be rebuilt.
@Shema Yisrael I think you got that tinfoil hat in a little too tightly there
Ambitious people would take the free money and go make their own company. Not sit and slave for nothing
this really show that just because you succeed in one field, those skills does not necessarily translate well into other fields.
Henry Ford all over again.
@Andrew Pinson you shouldn’t worship a billionaire. It’s not in your class interest to do so.
@ikeepmovingTV So if anyone disagrees with you you say they are in a cult or worships someone. Kind of a weird deduction process you got going there.
@Ray Ray I think he is doing as well as most business men are doing at the moment. Have you looked at the economy recently. I knew that the left was not going to let him take over twitter without a fight. They want their propaganda network back and especially they do not want any dirty laundry to get out into the public about any twitter bias habits going on.
@Andrew Pinson you side with a billionaire. you made that clear in the comment section.
If you’re worried about your employees rebelling against you, it’s because you’ve wronged them. If you’re about worried your employees rebelling against you, it’s probably your own fault. Twitter was just fine a few months back.
as somebody who never used twitter, this is hilarious
Leave it to a bird brain to tweet Twitter to death. It was basically AOL Messenger
RIP #TwitterTitanic with #SpaceKaren at the helm…
So, while I haven’t used Twitter in several years, I have not cancelled it either. Does that mean that, statistically, I am considered a member, adding to a total number of membership?
I never used Twitter….never made sense to me.
Exactly. As far as I am concerned, Twitter can simply go away. No harm done.
In these types of situations, the best people DON’T stay. The ones who stay are the ones with no or very few other options. They stay out of fear.
@mh The “best” don’t need to stay there and put up with Elon’s BS.
@mh Facts.
100 percent agree. Saying that the best employees stayed is almost an admission that his move wasn’t the best strategy because its obvious thats not true. It also negatively impacts recruiting going forward.
Where will they go though. Not even FB or IG are accepting those super far left crazies that only have s3x, gender and race in their head 24/7
Probably the janitors and low level entry ppl. Although now that Elon has locked out every employee, no one at Twitter is doing any work.
Nobody wants to put their efforts into what is being made to be a thankless effort to benefit someone else’s desires. Clearly there’s zero respect for the people who are supposed to be his “team” members. Respect only exists if it’s mutual.
Imagine trying to have your employees work insane hours by threatening to fire them.
Does anyone in ANY industry think that works in the long term?
Life existed and will exist after twitter. We have bigger problems in this world.
It’s amazing how adults act when they get their toy taken away
@FitOrHyper Glory to Musk, Hallelujah, Peace be upon him.
@Hamish The Mack Hustle culture is dusty af. It’s for people who believe in the lie of the American dream and/or have no identity or friends outside of their career.
@FitOrHyper Having boundaries is far better than being a shill for a company who gives zero craps about your humanity. That’s called loving exploitation.
As they should.
@les0101s gees cry more why don’t you
It’s unbelievable how much good could have been done with $44 Billion dollars, how many people that could have helped. Instead, because of his ego he pissed it all away. Just like Myspace replaced by Facebook, there will be another social media app to replace Twitter and it was all for nothing.
I bet the bankers who financed part of it are fuming. It wasn’t all his money.
I couldn’t think of anything better. If it goes up in flames.
@90s were The best If you think about it, it’s kinda like deflation. All dollars are worth more now! Sort of. 💸
@mh *was. Every great man has a turning point
HES A WHITE SUPREMACIST
I don’t regret for one second, that i have never once been on Twitter.
Same here! Never used it or nor had an account.. 🤷♂️
I want it now to see the woke tears
@KLAUS SCHWAB what are woke tears?
@Kenneth Franklin
Those would be the tears of laughter from liberals setting up their own Mastodon Servers, while pointing a MAGA folks who needed Twitter to spread disinformation, who’ll now have to rely on Facebook only… If you hear anything about Woke Pee, same thing, just laughing harder…
I guess you’ll be missed
The only shocking thing is that Twitter took this long to collapse.
The Fallout Has Just Begun!Just Wait!!!
I mean, there were recent years when it was profitable – there was a reason it was worth $44b. Now you’ve got to think it’s worth a lot less. Anyway, it hasn’t collapsed yet, but perhaps by Christmas? Things fall apart.
I guess Icarus would know, wouldn’t he.
@TheGreenReaper it has never been profitable.
Collapse hahaha. All the tech people can be easily filled. Not engineering. Just support.
