Whatever Elon musk is doing with Twitter, can happen with any company being acquired. I see lots of comments saying no features in twitter etc. Even if they have not released any new feature or whatever it may be, they were running the Twitter successfully with over 200Billions of tweets every year. In my opinion, it was not a small task. Let's be humble and respectful towards our fellow software developers, managers, testers, product managers, all employees of Twitter. If you can help any of the laid off team member from Twitter, please do. if you can't, let's not discourage them by any way. Tomorrow you might be the one looking for referal or your company is acquired by big fish. #twitter #tesla #google #meta #amazon #facebook #tech #laidoff #referal
It is pretty fucking crazy though man
No, no, fuck no
Agreed. Everyone rejoicing in these layoffs and lambasting their fellow tech workers are sad and miserable. They vicariously getting some sort of vengeance against all the guys who shoved them in lockers in high school
Yeah, I’m sure Twitter employees were the ones doing the shoving in high school lmao
They probably weren’t. I’m speaking metaphorically. The people I speak of (yourself included, I fear) worship Musk because he’s the “cool” nerd making “power moves” on their behalf, in their sad little minds
Twitter had it coming. The market is rebalancing it self
Wish we could rebalance some of the $800B we spend each year on wasteful defense contracts
Lol how much of that “800B” is labor cost vs cost of goods vs R&D vs government red tape?
Never doubt people’s desire to dance on the ashes. Something about humanity. We all did it when yahoo, MySpace, Napster crashed and burned. The wheel turns. But still, if you willingly stay at Twitter under this regime, i don’t know what to say. Get out. Leave him with his acolytes and sycophants.
In current market when there are hiring freeze everywhere, they don't have lots of options anyway
Not everyone has the ability to leave a decent paying tech job on a whim. In the real world, people have mortgages, college tuition etc to pay
There’s some pretty crabby and envious people here sadly. Schadenfreude is not a good character trait.
I smell a codependent
I notice that it's the non-tech workers in dying companies like gm that celebrate the downfall of twitter
They really do come out like rats at night whenever there’s a whiff of a big tech failure.
No it can’t happen to “any” company. Twitter was on a power trip for the better part of last decade and had been clearly shutting down discussion around valid topics. Someone stepped in and took the trash out. People are getting mad now when they were the same clowns screeching “private company can do anything hurr durr”
Ironic coming from Meta, which is equally heavy handed.
