- Elon Musk has announced an ultimatum given to Twitter workers, saying employees have the choice to work long hours at high intensity or walk away with severance pay.
Mr Musk says he’s trying to build a hardcore company, and anyone who isn’t on board will be forced to leave.
So no more mud bath Tuesdays and ping pong Thursdays?
🤣🤣
Or at the Foosball table for Half the Day.
What about second breakfast?
No Foxy Boxing on Fridays?
The working class has become too greedy and lazy. Time to abolish all unions and job-killing regulations on employers.
It's Time To Clean House!!
There is a rooster in the house to line up the chickens
As the Don would say..drain the swamp...
just like trump ELON is the SWAMP, TRUMP is the SWAMP
All I can say is , great job Elon !
PERIODT 🔥
Nah fam
Haha Elon muskrat lost 44 billion on useless tech
He paid $44 billion for a company that he's running into the ground. And you people are applauding him for it. I love it, cuz it shows how clueless his fanboys really are
@@bigbengamer I think the attraction to normal people is seeing entitled brats, who’ve never worked an honest day in their lives, being called out.
Well he overpaid for a company with a very lazy and overstaffed work force. Of course that doesn't describe all employees there. But even Twitter employees knew this was coming when a new hard working boss was buying the company.
The price was about the size of the active human user base, the technology the company uses is not sophisticated and has already been replicated in systems such as Mastodon.
Elon scams and lies to people for a living, like with anything tesla.
Twitter was already working just fine minus terrible rules, he's gonna somehow make twitter worse by overworking the workers for no reason
@@deathtrooper2048 I almost want to say what you wrote is satire but it sounds too stupid for even that.
@@Gatagin777 Yeah, I don't think it's satire. I think that was serious.
Twitter is already objectively better, and it's worth more in Elon's hands.
Long hours at twitter means a normal 40 hour work week
Lol right. I mean they get a whole month off a year for rest. They did, rather.
@@n00n1n rest from what tho? banning people and posting anti trump garbage? what a joke
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly
Most probably.
Good way to kick off communists and draw workers who take their job seriously.
So being expected to work 40hrs a week is long hours now is it? Everywhere I worked full time that was the bare minimum.
"Long hours" doesn't specify how many hours. If it were 40 hours, that would be reasonable.
@Brandon Letzco That assumes they were even meeting those existing hours in the first place, for all we know he is just enforcing the existing hours they were expected to do in their original contracts.
I would hope the people that admitted to working only 4hrs a week at times were among the first let go.
@@catherina2611 According to employees that walk out, he ask them to work 80hrs/week.
@@BNOBLE981 If employees got away with working only a fraction of what they were being paid to do then the fault lies with the company, most employers would sack repeat offenders. If on the other hand, employees are being forced to work more hours than they are contracted to do, they will have legal recourse should they find themselves sacked.
@@walden6272 I'm glad I live in Australia. We have a much better work/life balance here
As many jobs twitter cost people, I don't feel bad.
How-so?
Employees are just greedy, lazy leeches.
@@smelltheglove1726 slackers, unnecesary and irrelavant job positions, waste of time and money
@@JeyC_ Why was he asking people to stay, why did be back-track? He doesn't know WTF he is going, but it's his $44B to burn **shrugs**
Likewise.
Fire all those lazy crybabies that don’t want to work!
Maybe there isn't that much work to be done. I mean, what can they be doing besides banning people and deleting tweets all day long?
You do realize most of the people that can actually run. The site are basically being fired right Twitter isn’t going to function for very long.
@@reddevil3277 you do realise for every job that someone's good at, there are dozens more willing to take on the role? Twitter is an absolute shithole, but it'll survive, even Myspace survives to this day, even with Facebook and Twitter to compete with. If Twitter goes belly up, it'll be for more reasons than having a boss who only wants to pay people to work
@@therealswarvey you do realize they have to actually train people to program the site and learn how the code operates. This isn’t like Walmart or Stop & Shop this managing a whole social media site who would want to work for Twitter when they fired most of their staff in one month.
@@reddevil3277 are you honestly trying to argue, that Twitter will fail, because the people who code it now, are the ONLY people who CAN do the job?
Or, that anyone else who's competent in that role, would do nowhere near as well, to the point of the company failing?
Can only think of this word when listing to this report .... EXCELLENT!
Not really. Elon effed up. Losing half of your employees especially skilled workers is a disaster. I was probably the only one against Elon buying this moronic company right from the start. Twitter is worth at most $1 billion. They tricked Elon to buy a turd. He should be focusing on SpaceX. He isn't as smart as I previously though.
@@Chistochina People like him can't stand up. It requires a spine. They'll spend the rest of their lives cowering and boot-licking.
What they’re not telling you is that Twitter didn’t have any real set work schedules, and everyone hardly did much work.
So if each programmer works 2 hours a day (being generous) then one programmer working 8 hours a day will probably be more productive since it's all fresh in his mind all day.
Or one programmer working 16 hours a day and making overtime, but you only pay benefits for one person instead of 8.
They were just spies and censors.
That's why they needed 7700 employees. 7700x4 (hours per week)=30,800 hours per week. 30,800 ÷ 40 (hours per week)=770 employees needed.
Where is your information coming from? Any actual source other than you? What makes you think they don’t work at all? Burden of proof is on you for making that claim
I bet all those Twitter employees hate having their communications monitored. I wonder if any perspective is being gained.
As if the employees are the ones who decide that you should get monitored that has nothing to do with them that’s just the heads of the company, that want all of your information
We're learning just how shallow the left really is
@@clementegarcia2750 policy may be set at the top, but that has nothing to do with embracing the culture. I know. I worked for Fortune 500 companies for decades, and walked away when the culture became toxic.
Doubt any of them can see the wood for the trees.
@@werollins I used to work for a company a long time ago in America called Game X Change. Basically a franchised pawn shop for video games. They were later bought out by electronics boutique and became GameStop. But even though my job was stocking and selling and playing video games all day, I still put more than 40 hours a weekend, and I worked my ass off, because it wasn't just about the video games. I had a lot of customers that were comfortable enough for me to call clientele. And I was dedicated to my job. When a new district manager came in and started flipping everything on its head, we all left. You know what happened after? He brought in all of his own people who systematically robbed that store blind.
So expect musk to start installing his own people.
The only thing I don’t like about this is severance pay
Me too. They deserve Jack.
@@piratepete4322 Spare Jack some slack they don't deserve that either.
I hate people like you just a bunch of Elon Musk dick suckers what has he ever done for you to make him your God
@@clementegarcia2750 he's no god, peasant. Have you met Ligma Johnson though 🤔🤔
Agreed. That being said, very few employment options exist out there for this type of employee at a normal business. I'm not paying a software engineer to 'work' from home for $150k when I can have them show up in the office and get them immersed in the company culture.
Twitter was not a true business, it was an 'agenda-spreader' seemingly - their financial results have not been good. Anyone with long employment history at twitter will need re-calibration if they seek employment in a standard type of tech company. And very, very few employers will actively seek out that kind of challenge in a new employee. On-boarding new staff is already hard enough.
Liberals are finding-out it's not wise to publicly talk sh!t about your employer. Hahaha.
Yes, I'd go so far as to say, the F"d around and found out.
Are you saying he is censored them?
@@michaelgarrow3239 No. You talk shit about your employer, they can fire you. For any reason they want if they offer severance. Real businesses are cutthroat.
Common sense should tell you that the company doesn't just employ Liberals
@@shado5147 - I guess sarcasm is a bit hard to get across in this venue.
Lol- I have owned a few business and have hired thousands of people over the years. So yeah; I can do cutthroat stuff…
Sadly their "skills" may never be transferable and they may have to descend into the world of the people that they pretend to care about.
They would be PERFECT Australian Government employee's ,, don't care ,, and everything is NOT their problem.
They should really factor this in before quitting in outrage.
Or they could be smart, tough it out for 6 months or so, and then get a job anywhere, having survived trial by fire.
Or just take severance and get a job elsewhere without dealing with 80 hour weeks?
Lol you people are so clueless. I bet you think these are all blue haired liberal arts people. He's fired experienced engineers that will have companies compete for.
@@richardnixon7248 well God speed for them aye. They'll show their professional aptitude and attitude by leaving civil and quietly no doubt.
Love it.
Elon Musk needs to buy UA-cam next
Google owns UA-cam, therefore he would have to buy Google and that is never going to happen.
@@4D2M0T never say never

But he did

@@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog sure maybe never was a bit much but it's not going to happen any time soon. Alphabet Inc googles parent company has a market cap of 1.27 trillion usd, Elon is worth almost 200 billion usd. Even if he sold everything he still can't scratch the surface let alone present a price high enough to convince or force alphabet share holders to sell up. That is just the reality of the economics.
@@casizzle6294 yeah bit he has no where near enough money
Imagine talking crap about yoru boss to the media then being surprised you are fired.
Imagine hating on freedom of speech

@Oussama Ben Abdelbaki the company was already a failure, but yeah

@@deathtrooper2048 It's a private company, he can do whatever he wants.
Did you hear Twitter doesn’t work any more? I read about it on Twitter
Get rid of all that dead wood! That's what a real incoming boss does!!
One day, you might have a job too. 😃
Well done Elon....if they don't pull their weight sack ' em....sack ' em anyway !
They should just save time and start practicing the phrase, "Welcome to Starbucks" right now.
they aint coming for your job mate. They are gonna be just fine, dont worry bout them cause they dont think about you. theres an old saying, 'if someone is thinking about you alot whether its good or bad, you are winning. Focus on yourself
@canon fodder That's all you got? White knighting for the useless? Not that I expected more, but at least something original. Please try harder next time...or do you need the government to give you that handout also?
Elons been playing 4d chess against these tic tack twitter tockers
OMG! You mean they have to pay for their lunch AND work hard? Somebody send aid! 🤣🤣🤣
There is no working hard on a computer. Its just putting in more hours to make up for less people doing the same jobs.
All companies should get rid of woke employees.
what's wrong with WOKE?
Fired half the workforce. Good that's less people the ban speech they don't like.
Someone is going to have to work 8 hours a week now to make up for them.
Have to show up and work. What a novel concept. 😆
Good on Elon, Clean House, Get hard workers. Fire the poisonous dissenters, and start new.
Like they say, there's no free lunch
Just joined Twitter for the first time... guit Facebook 4 months ago. Awe Fresh air
You left Facebook for Twitter. Ergo, you traded one social media company who sells your data, for another social media company who is currently, very openly, undergoing "restructuring" to make it more acceptable for advertisers, who will buy your data.
Why is this a positive thing?
How to clean house instantly. Guess the ones who stay will be getting a pay rise in the end
Fired half the workforce 😂😂😂😂
I bet that the people that stay a work like he wants them too....will be very well paid...Musk rewards productivity 👍
It's not all about pay for those people. Or they wouldn't work there.
you cant be that stupid
His company, his rules!
Love it or leave it!!
*Tolerate it
Well his rules have driven away the company’s best staff and it’s share price has crashed..,so good job I guess.
Half of liberalised workers are sent home , good job Elon 👏
With all the salary $$$ saved he could reward the remaining hard workers
Work long hours to support a glorified database with a couple of APIs, great idea. If it disappeared tomorrow the world wouldn't keep spinning - this is truly gods work. A calling.
What do they do, just make sure the servers are plugged in? Ban people from Twitter. There isn't anything new ever launching on Twitter technology wise so what are they doing?
@@TheFrenchPug It's a database with a couple of tables, and an API to send push notifications. Thats literally it. A 5 year old could build that garbage platform and administer it.
@@ewtwetrwerwteet It's not only databases (there are different types that they use), it's also the frontend UI, other backend services, and other cloud infrastructure (authentication, load balancing, image / video storage buckets) too, and for each of these they require the design, engineering and development aswell.
@@ewtwetrwerwteet Sure they could. Maybe you can tell us about your company, since a 5 year old could do it.
Yaay Musk finally taking control and showing who is really the boss. Good on Musk
We need more bosses to crack down on their lazy, greedy employees.
Musk Tweet: Work harder or leave
Employee tweet back: okay see ya.
The problem with trust fund children....
Contented cows give the best milk.
Great job, this is the REALITY of the REAL WORLD. If they can't handle the real world and its consequences then it was a good move to not have them be a parasite to the company and the other employees just trying to do an honest days work.
Demanding 80 hour work weeks is a bridge too far.imho.
R.I.P Twitter 🤪👀
It's capitalism, supply and demand, purely and simple. If Twitter employee can get a better offer, better work conditions from another company, they will take it.
Does not your country have labor exploitation laws? A maximum hour work week?
Here in Australia it is a 38 hour work week. More than that, and it is voluntary overtime.
Emphasis on voluntary.
I think Elon wants to keep his workforce in a state of fear that if they aren't working "hard enough" they can be sacked immediately.
We don't have that in the U.S. . I lost my job because I couldn't physically work 7 days a week, 10 hours a day with 3 back fusions. I couldn't maintain the expectations at the time. That's how America runs a lot of their companies that are publicly traded. Shareholders come before labor force (at least the salaried ones which I was). And yes, that is what Elon is doing right now. He runs Tesla like that.
@@TheFrenchPug Well, you need your unions to be less corrupt and taking much stronger action then.
A 38 hour work week (down from 40 hours) was hard fought and won, but even at 40 hours, that's still a limit. Even 45 hours would be a limit. No limit means worker exploitation.
A lot of things need fixing in your country - this is just one of them.
@@CraftedVision what unions ? lol
@@CraftedVision We don't have many unions. Mainly for construction, teachers, police, traditional jobs. Unions are a thing of the past. So is a pension. But I agree with you. Unfortunately some businesses would fold under though.
@@TheFrenchPug unfortunately, if you cannot afford to pay your staff a liveable wage, and keep your doors open, then you aren't profitable enough to have a business.
Elon Musk draining the Twitter Swamp. 🦎
Man I want to work for this guy. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
You'll have to get on your knees and get rid of any dignity you might have. I'm guessing there's not a lot of it. 😆
Love it!
That's not a good move he should know better however a lot of people have pulled the reins on the horse.!!!
I worked 40-80 hours a week plus high school plus 3 college classes, simultaneously. And I loved it, especially the work part. Sure, it had its moments, and the base pay wasn't great, but once the clock struck overtime I was whistling Dixie, happy to pick up as many extra hours as I could.
Going to college and being able to pay for med school in cash without taking out a single loan? Priceless.
So i'm assuming you are no longer working 80 hours a week?
Hurray for you. I assume you are smart enough to know then just because you can do it doesnt mean everyone can.
Ok boomer. Go whistle dixie
That sounds like total BS. 8hrs a day for high school. 3 college courses a week, so 2-3 hours ever other day. 40-80 hours of work, so another 8-11.5 estimated for 5 to seven days. Sorry but that sounds highly unlikely.
@@popweaselcrunch It's possible; I lived it and truly enjoyed it. Things were different back then.
I started working when I was 12 years old, full time at 14. Even in middle school (grades 6-8 at the time), I only went to class a few days a week. I was able to arrange working at my own pace with my teachers. Normally Mondays I'd show up with completed homework, Tuesdays would be additional homework/quizzes/exams, Wednesdays I'd wrap up whatever loose ends came up.
In high school I was part of a "dual enrollment" program, wherein you took classes at the local college, paid for by the school district, and received both college & high school credit. The time savings of having a class which only meets 2-3x a week instead of 5 days a week was key, not to mention that most of my college classes didn't have busywork (homework) like high school classes did. I also arranged a similar self-paced study program with my teachers. I actually got in a bit of hot water for finishing too many classes too quickly. Apparently there was a maximum number of credits you could earn per year and I exceeded it.
My job was rather public and highly technical and we often gave public tours of the facilities. For high school tours, I'd usually give the tour myself, then continue working. Many of my own teachers had seen me in action there and let quite a bit slide. I was doing far more research, writing, and math daily at work than I'd ever do in their classroom, so they were more than happy to support my endeavors. It didn't hurt that I was often asking them for help with concepts well above what was being covered in the classroom, as I needed them for work.
No matter who you are, we are all given 168 hours in a week. How you choose to allocate them is up to you. I only slept about 4-5 hours a day, something which I still do today. I'd normally be at work by 4:30a and work until mid-morning. Classes after that. Back at work by 3pm until the work was done. Some nights that was 7pm. Others it was 11pm or later. Weekends were where I racked up the overtime. 12 hour shifts.
I'd do similar in college, working 2-3 jobs while pulling a full pre-med load. Most of my jobs were out of town, so I'd drive or fly out of town for a few days, work 2-3 days straight, head back to college, rinse wash repeat. I remember hearing and laughing that medical residents were limited to 80 hours/week... thinking what would I do with all the extra time.
People act like this is over the top when it's supposed to be the norm. I held many, many different positions before I solidified my current career. If I didn't work hard, show consistency, or at the very least talk crap about my employer, I'd get canned and rightfully so! The era of the cry babies and 2nd place trophies is coming to an end and it's glorious to watch it happen to those who deserve their end the most.
It's easier to whine than face reality that working hard is normal. They want an easy slide, with full pay. Musk, didn't get where he is by putting forth only the bare minimum. Good comment.
Brilliant, how do you get rid of a bunch of lazy entitled just waiting to sue you crybabies? Let them do it themselves! And they are.
People are awaken and won't be slaves no more.

@@protorhinocerator142 Oh the humanity............ humanity!!

So...give their lives to the company?
They got paid well while working and got 3 months worth of severance. That is more than most people, they should have planned ahead and been good stewards of their blessings....especially their source of income. Any hardships they face now are entirely on them. Screw the whiners.
Thats what I tell all the whiney people that complain about inflation or during covid how they cried they couldnt pay thier bills. Conservative in the US are the worst.
Looks like they had it too cush over there.
Go Elon , next is F-ing Facebook
Would have rather that been #1.
This is a mess. Granted, some tightening was very much needed, but this is super dangerous, to the company. Firing half the engineers will likely make half of whoever's left to quit as well, and the company will be left with 10 years worth of engineering to be maintained by 25% of staff + new hires. Anyone who's tried this knows how ugly this can turn.
long hours means 40 hours a week like every other jobs and per usa law.
he wanted engineers to work 80 to 90 hours a week so screw that.
Great job Elon!
Goes to show that half of the company was useless and got paid to mess around. Still operates the same imo.
But I became a helluva ping pong player there!
It’s a private business he can do what he wants.
I can almost hear the Karen’s screaming now, we can get jobs somewhere else, we don’t need you or this place. Reality is about to kick them square in the A. Layoffs from the Tech sector is coming and just in time for Christmas : )
Elon, please continue to drive Twitter in the Ground. Good job!
what did they say when they banned a number of people.......? you dont like it, create your own....... bye
Remember "Day in a life of a Twitter employee" video?😂...Hope these employees do some real Work atleast now..
I wish it was Washington DC Elon was cleaning up !!
Keep on shoveling Elon! You're half way there.
Give em hell , Elon !

It’s a super easy way to get rid of people. Check the group messages 😂
Amazing that all these super smart tech people don’t realize every employer can see everything they do inside of company programs and equipment. Even your internet provider can see everything you do regardless of incognito mode or not.
Not technically true
Yes he’s totally free to ruin the company and lose billions of dollars
Love how he is mismanaged the company to the point of inpending doom. What a dumb a**.
Very true.

Slackers are the biggest problem in tech. The issue stems from HR.
Love him or hate him. Elon will end up with a place in the history books that is positive for the overall outcome of society🤷♂️
Preach!
Most of those employees probably have pink purple and green hair with tattoos and earrings all through their body basement kids
Finally, a boss with balls!
Buy congress next. Slash the benefits.

He should fire them all and hire new employees.
I love it when snowflakes get fired. Fired, get it?
Why does everyone assume the workers are lazy? I’m sure the hard workers are gonna be affected y’all don’t believe in work life balance?

Go big or go home.
Most will go home.
Every time a company buys another one. The bought company loses workers. Why?
Because the workers in the original company are more valuable and understand the company.
