Champion of free speech can’t handle any criticism internally 😂😂😂 After Elon Musk fired some Twitter staff for criticizing him and his leadership, remaining employees are rushing to remove Slack messages and emoji reactions that they fear the tech mogul won't like, sources told Platformer. Shortly after after Musk fired three workers for criticizing him on Twitter, the social-media company terminated around two dozen further employees in a late-night email on Monday. Engineers Eric Frohnhoefer, Sasha Solomon, and Ben Leib all appeared to be fired on Sunday and Monday for criticizing Musk. Frohnhoefer had tweeted that Musk's assessment of problems with the app's performance on Android was "wrong," while Leib said that Musk "has no idea wtf he's talking about." Solomon had tweeted: "You don't get to shit on our infra if you don't know what the fuck it does while you're also scrambling to rehire folks you laid off." Around two dozen employees appear to have been fired since. "Your recent behavior has violated company policy," the email they received from Twitter read. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-fire-staff-criticism-delete-slack-message-watercooler-2022-11
Constructive criticism is different than insubordination. Twitter is a company, the platform is separate from the company.
Insubordination?? I read the android devs tweet. He asked for time to clear out tech debt. Perfectly reasonable and polite
Nope.. did you read the follow up msg from that dev? Dev was more political than technical (and everyone can say tech debt as issue ) .
Criticizing and talking sh*t calling someone a nazi are different things
The engineer was right, musk should have acted like an adult and talked to the team in private. But here we are.
It's his own private company he can say all he wants publicly. The pampered, entitled little manchildren Twitter employees like the ones fired have no right to bash their boss publicly.
Musk calling out specific people by name in public, and laying fault with them. That's like bashing your employees publicly. Opening individuals up to public attack. Very unprofessional. Why would he do this?
I'm all for free speech...and I hope smart people can understand that doing stupid things may result in consequences.
To be fair Elon recently deleted the “He’s fired” tweet so now everyone respects him more too. 😎👍
I wonder how many of you people criticize your company’s CEOs
My founder is lazy...I see him in the mirror every day
Wrong question to ask. How many of our CEOs act like this?
He has my support if he puts an end to DEI and diversity hiring
“As long as he’s as bigoted as me I’ll support him”
DEI, like affirmative action, is discriminatory, which the SCOTUS will soon rule. The only bigotry is coming from those pretending otherwise and wanting revenge for perceived slights of the distant past.
We talk shit about him all the time in teams. You realize pretty quick that SpaceX does well in spite of him after a couple months.
Yeah but SpaceX is a golden child. You guys moved, what, 80% of the stuff that went into orbit this year? Twitter is the step child he didn’t want but got stuck with. He will keep things horrible for everyone until only the true believers are left.
Criticizing your CEO in the most public way is not a good idea. Why don’t you all give it a shot and see what happens? The engineer was 100% right, just no common sense. Or maybe he just wanted a severance.
