The employees at Twitter should all leave and write books about what happened. 🤣
@Pat Risberg Success leveraged from poorly performing workers, working at a poorly run firm that created social unrest. Shameful and opportunistic ... following the footsteps of many UA-cam grifters.
@Pat Risberg how do they get around not publishing code?
True
My favourite spectator sport is watching narcissists and their interests unravel. So yeah, twitter going down the tubes: Bring It On! Elon needs some time in a mental health facility.

Boy, I'd take that 3 month severance
3 months? I took a 8 month package 5 years ago and started a business.
Then doing harcore work is not for you. That's totally fine.
@@Jogeta5 Yes, doing slave work is not for him. And he's right.
@@Jogeta5 pierced me to my soul 😆
@@Jogeta5 I'm just saying I work for a major home improvement retailer and we are always in the market for IT professionals. We allow breaks, lunches, remote work usually, and a real stock. Take that severance. We can't be the only ones in the market. Silicone valley has soaked up all the coders. The rest of the economy needs them too
Turns out Elon bringing the sink to Twitter was projecting its future.
👏🤣
😂🤣
lmaoooo
So Elon want a Chinese sweat shop model………
@@Living_Life242
Elon's employees including Twitter staff get stock options as well. Also, their pay is very negotiable due to doing hardcore work.
@@Living_Life242 He did not fire half the staff. And the ones he fired weren't doing anything productive. If they were, they wouldn't have been fired. So no, the remaining staff will not be "working twice as hard". You're just sprouting emotive left-wing nonsense.
@@Living_Life242 if you're exempt in the US, you work to completion and your hours aren't generally tracked for excess.
@@Jogeta5 who would want private stock options in a company that Elon is actively destroying?
May be all these employees should quit and work together to build their own Twitter 2.0
Great idea!
Seems like a very good plan. Wonder what name they will give it.
@@sevencostanza3931 may be Witter with out a T?
@@akumaar Witter is a actual word i found out---witter
verb [ I ] UK informal disapproving

to talk for a long time about things that are not important:
TWITTER EMPLOYEES THINK 8 HOURS OF WORK IS TOOOOO LONG. Just a bunch of spoiled liberal crybabies. Boo Hoo poor victims are being forced to work 8 hours...lol
Makes me wish I would work for Twitter, just to be able to quit now and tell Musk that he sucks.
"Hey everyone, I made a really bad investment and I need the few workers that are still left to bail me out. Keep in mind that if you fail to do this I will blame you all for making me fail, but meanwhile, if you somehow succeed, I will of course take all of the credit from your hard work of somehow getting me out of this giant mess of my own creation. You're welcome." - Elons Musk
Cool story bro.
oyu are talking about capitalism and profit driven companies. the idiot on the right was like if you dont make money you suck
Says the person Not running Tesla or sending rockets into space
@@thevillage38 notice how you give Tesla and SpaceX no credit? thats the point
Nice summary. 🤣
They should leave
Now why would they commit to ruining their work life balance for a guy who already disrupted a company that was working just fine and has put their livelihood in a precarious-position?
Why would they do that?!?
There is no reason for them to trust him in that way!
Question is who are they working for ?? Who is going to give them salary
Twitter was working just fine? News Flash: THEY'RE LOSING BILLIONS A YEAR AND STILL UNPROFITABLE
They’re replaceable they better
@@babitapandhare1889 They were working for a high-profile tech corporation! I highly doubt most of them would have trouble finding work!
@@novusords They were working for a high-profile tech corporation! I highly doubt most of them would have trouble finding work!
Soldiers are only able to shoot based on their generals' ability to guide them toward their target. Yes, they might suck, but the main responsibility falls on the management team.
Yes, I paid too much for Twitter.
Yes, I fired half the Twitter employees.
Yes, I drove advertisers away.
Yes, I came up with the $8.00 blue checkmark.
But now the I expect the employees that are left to work 80 hours a week.
I'm be over there, Tweeting most of the day and doing interviews.
I have to remind people what a genius I am.
Lol yeah. It's not genius forcing people to work like dogs when you're exposed and everybody knows how much you're screwing up.
So true. He’s a con man 🤡 who has successfully been able to convince people what genius he is, savior of humanity. But now people are starting to realize his true incompetency. Hope he crashes soon.
Well, seems to work with the right guy in the vid. He thinks musk is a genius.
@@xorrior4438 well, the fact is that there are people out there willing to work like dogs - workaholics they're called. The one's that are not will leave, and they'll just be replaced with ones that are. It may not be that easy, but there are plenty of people that would take the job just for the opportunity to work under Elon, and also people that will be excited with the risk and challenge of transforming twitter and keeping it alive. Not everyone wants easy cushy jobs
If you don’t work at the place how do you know what they do? They had “sleep pods” probably was very unorthodox work environment kinda like Google. He was probably like “why am I paying this person $150,000 when they literally work 2 hrs in the day on actual work?”
80hr weeks = 16hr days. How many people said on their death bed ‘oh I wish I hadn’t helped raise my kids, go to their ball game or see my elderly parents. Instead I wish I had spent all my waking hours making Elon a few more billion while I struggled pay check to pay check’. Also combined with spending all that time in the office it probably gives them less than six hours to do the basics sleep, eat and shower once the commute is accounted for……..
Absolutely TRUE !!!! Elon is very short sighted.....For Elon to be worried about climate change/pollution and then demand people come to work instead of work from home...makes NO sense. Remember how clean the air and water was during covid shutdown in 2020 all around the world ?!?!?! that is what HAPPENS when you people are home. OBVIOUSLY I do not expect that to continue once economy opens up BUT ALLOW the employees who can work from home due to their job function TO WORK FROM HOME !!!! That will save a lot of car pollution. SO much so that employees may not even need to own a car and can just take public transportation or Uber/etc to run their errands, which means more SAVINGS for the employees.
Cry about it, work somewhere else. Working to make twitter a better company isnt gonna be easy they just dont want to change it
@@matthewperreira1044 Thats what they're doing. Pretty much the only people staying are Visa holders facing deportation.
@@matthewperreira1044 you don't fire half your seasoned staff to build a new product, lol.
I would instantly quit if my boss demanded that of me. Even if I loved my job, I can get another - but I can't get that time back
Wow, I can be a slave for a billionaire who is destroying the company!
Where do I sign up?
Twitter is so terrible that someone paid $45 billion for it *sarcasm*
I see what u did there
That someone has plans to colonise Mars omg i can’t wait how eventful would that be
So have you deleted your Twitter account yet?
None of Twitter employees trashed the company when they didn't want to buy it, paid over the odds for it, and then scared off the advertisers once they were forced to buy it.
Hopefully the majority of Twitter employees will have the self-belief and realise that there are better places and better people to work for than Musk.
It is one thing to build a culture where the workforce feel that they want to work long hours, but those managers who demand rather than earn that dedication, are probably just looking for cheap labour.
Commit to hardcore or leave sounds like desperation but even if it was a rallying call one thing that is missing is a clear direction.
What out of Musk's confused messages is the goal for Twitter, is it to block the spambots, protect free speech and develop a messaging, payments and commerce app? Now the fluffy vision has been sorted, who is going to define the detail for all that, and who exactly is ever going to use Twitter as a payment platform?
Elon is trashing the Twitter employees to make himself look good. He is basically saying he fired them because they are lazy and incompetent. But that is not true. He fired them because he makes a wrong business decision overpaying for Twitter.
For their own dignity they should leave. Mass generalisations and public shaming is not leadership and only creates a toxic fearful culture.
So the staff doing that is all fine though, moronic.
Breaking: Musk carries toilet stuffed with dollar bills into Twitter and shouts “I flushed 44 billion of these down the toilet. You loser Twitter employees must save me!”
check and mate.
Musk ask his employees to work as hardcore as someone who invested 44 billion dollar. ELON pay your employees billions if you want them work as hardcore as you
they are lucky if they get paid overtime
"You work hard so I can make money."
Exactly. He is insane
"I keep starting these fires so I'm going to need you guys here pretty much 24/7 to put them out."
I wonder if they are getting hardcore raises
Of course not.
they are lucky if they get paid overtime
Not likely. It's private now so stock options are gone too.
Why would I commit my life to Elon n twitter if I worked there. Risking my health, relationship and mental health? I'd quit and find a better job without an autocratic leader. When did dictatorship become acceptable in firms? Look what happened with apple, employees lives were miserable working day and night, only for Steve to be given all credit for people work
Agree to some degree. The difference between Jobs and Musk(Rat), Jobs had actual talent and vision.
If they work real hard maybe they can pretend to come out with FSD like they did at tesla, who knows what these hard workers will pretend to come out with next.
I’m pretty sure they’ll leave. Musk is screwed anywyss
To all the Musk supporters. So you would want to work for this guy?
Nothing wrong for wanting loyslity and hard effort but come on .
He makes Putin's efforts to draft soldiers to fight in Ukraine look sensitive .
“Maybe they do suck.” Is the answer to almost every question in life. 😂
Suck is the commentators word. Dead weight is probably something closer to Elon's word. And if they are dead weight then yes they suck. I guess I have come full circle. Suck is a good word.
How desperate one could be to work for Elon.
it's not even worth the money at this point
What I like about Twitter: it showed us Donald's true and rotten personality, and now it's doing the same for Elon. No salary on earth would make me want to work for this guy.
Next stop 4 U is Taco Bell ...lmao
@@xeroart3852 fanboy detected
Somebody on this panel simps hard for Musk.
Except for the middle one, they both do😂
Commit to long hours to do what? Tf are they gonna work on? He’s the idiot that changed the business model without knowing how the company works…
He wants them to copy the Chinese app that does everything. Seriously.
This sounds like American logic. Blame the workers and not leadership.
If Twitter was so bad how’d they get Elon to overpay so much for it 😂😂. Quit and take the three months pay and to hell with Elon expecting slaves. Just because he doesn’t want to see his 9 or 10 kids and which ever women he’s with now doesn’t mean his employees should throw their lives away.
*OMG THE ELON SIMP* on the right is too painful to watch
Pal - lets not push toxic work culture in the name of supporting Eoln. I respect what he has done and is doing. That apart he should segregate 2 things. Performance and time put to work are not same. Demand performance and let the employee deliver or sack them. Don't say put 80 hrs when u are paying for 40 hrs. It should always be delivery based. You need to deliver a product and then we have project management which can come up with dates and that is what you hold the team to. If they cannot - then take remedial measures.
That moron elon has done nothing except for failing upwards. Just research the backstories of the companies he has been associated with & you’ll know. I bet he himself doesn’t work 8 hrs a week let alone 80 hrs which he has been claiming all these years. This fiasco has totally exposed what a dimwit doofus dbag he actually is. Fake genius!!!
You got lots to say Sap. How many billions do you have?
@@wildebeest88 none. maybe 1 M if I scrap everything I have. but I have around 13+ years of s/w experience working in multiple MNC's.
@@skyealexander4605 scamming is a strong word. Where's your proof?
@@saptarshibhowmick thank you for your comments , much appreciated.
Twitter dies
They should all quit this horrible tyrant!
"He built rockets" (1) Elon is not an engineer, he is a difficult boss with a lot of money and an over inflated sense of self, that might mean he is able to push technical people to output great things; however, his "vision" is not a substitute for technical skill, which he doesn't have. I mean, honestly, is there anything Elon has done where his defining contribution wasn't primarily the fact that he was the guy in the room with money, at the right time.
Yeah Elon must be the luckiest guy in the world then. Zip 2, Paypal, Space x, Tesla.... He managed to forest gump his way to life.
@@ehong000 Why luckiest? Just because he is currently the richest? His wealth is all based on capital valuation, not actual liquid cash. And he's only been the richest person in the world since November, 2021. I just don't understand why we ascribe genius or innovation purely to wealth accumulation, when we definitely know by now that it is just sometimes the simple fact that money can create more of itself.
@@joshuaDstarks lol yeah he only designed the charging port. bro you need to open a book.
@@jcf2322 if it was that easy why don't we have more billionaires? I like the keyboard warriors who are sitting in their moms basement saying that the richest man in the world got there through money just magically creating more of itself.
@@jcf2322 obviously you've done no homework on the Elon Musk.🤔🤔
Crunch time = incompetent management to the extreme.
A person wants to compromise the health of few thousand people so he can get his profit. I wish most of them just leave the company.
This panel is made up of two normal people and an Elon fan boy.
This little guy dressed in blue suit should chillout a bit. Especially regarding stuff he has no idea.
😂😂😂
If the twitter employees are lazy and suck why did he pay 40 billion dollars for it ? Starting a platform from scratch would've been cheaper
How dare you bring "logic" and "common sense" to the debate?
This guy is lunatic. 🙏
Breaking: Elon Musk sinks Twitter after bringing a sink to Twitter HQ
I would take the 3 months severance & ride out… ✌🏾
Elon makes the majority of people look even smarter.
What a goon. Hes trying to destroy it, it looks like
No Ma'am. What has happened so far is completely standard for layoffs and reorganization. Your putting words in people's mouths, because you don't know about companies and reorganizations.
Musk: work harder, not smarter. I am the brain so I don’t need your brains.
I suspect the Twitter employees who will commit to working hard are the ones who already were working hard. Why should working at Twitter be any different from working at Space-X or Tesla?
for each person that leaves they will be replaced by someone in desperate need of a job. all big companies are freezing hiring and laying workers off. Where are they safe? Where will they work instead. No one is hiring. If to keep your job during an economic downturn requires you to work harder than you did for the past 2 years than why not? you get paid, continue to provide for your family, and not worry about losing your home while the housing market crashes. we've all bad "mean" bosses. we're used to it. work still gets done and you still get paid. Not everyone is fortunate enough to even have a job in this economy. my point is, be grateful for what you have, and actively work to provide better for yourself because NO ONE ELSE WILL!!!!
Ya bosses are mean but he’s a total moron😂. He has an inflated ego despite personally achieving nothing, which will eventually be his doom. I bet he hardly understands any code, just tweets buzzwords to impress his simps. Hope he crashes soon.
the whole workforce can choose to refuse to do any of that and just let Elon let them go. When it comes to software engineering, it's still going to take a hot minute to get new people and get them situated. Chances are the new people are not going to be able to produce anything significant for a good half a year or so, or even longer depending on the difficulty of the job.
Is this guy serious? 80 hours for Elon and probably the top execs, this guy can't be serious when he thinks 80 hours across the board for all employees.
I would hire the guy on the right.
Elon Musk is the boss he can do whatever he wants the employees can comply or leave it's not rocket science.
Every single one of these workers will find employment at start ups. Why would they work twice as hard for the same pay just so a narcissist doesn't look like a knucklehead? He fired them in a fit of rage and now he desperately wants them back. It's like when a child smashes his own toy and then cries about it.
Lots of sold Americans work hard. Been working hard my whole life. What weak people who want free things
Jack Dorsey couldn’t bring this up at meetings and Elon Musk does it and gets criticized.
Does Twitter needs to employ 7 thousand people?
There are many ways to burn money, debauchery is probably the most pleasant one, buying Twitter is the fastest one for sure…
I wonder if I could get a grant to see if I could spend more on debauchery per minute than he’s spending on Twitter. I don’t think so but I’m willing to give it a try.
because the woman doesnt pay out of her own pocket.a company must be profitable to keep bettering their services
RIP Twitter. I'd say that the majority of people are actively circulating their resume, the good ones will stick him with the people that were not able to get hired elsewhere.
He just move Tesla people into Twitter. The Tesla team is use to working crazy hours, they won't be phased at all.
No one leaving is needed. You are a business show. Man up!! The issue is that most people have doing inappropriate tasks. No one is criticising staff. It's the culture that stinks. The company has to be realigned. It's happening. Wait and see.
This is as much a test for allegiance to autocrat Musk(Rat), as it is to the unity the remaining employees have amongst themselves.
In about 20-minutes, employees will have a crucial decision to make.
People will just Coast do as long as they can and they will quit it as soon as they get a different job
Elon musk basically wants to get rid of those old married farts at the company, but he forgot the young folks are either gen z or those who lies at the near border between millenial and gen z, in which born and raised in eased situation.
Hopefully whoever stays with Twitter going forward will get a generous stock options package in the "New Twitter" that will eventually go public in the future. That's what makes people stick around. That's what made Microsoft happen back in the 1980's.
Twitter will be dead with in 3 years and it's stock with it unless there is a major turn around in Musk's strategy.
It’d be an overall societal benefit if it crashes.
Real freedom of speech is giving s platform for all different opinions, not just the extreme Trumpist opinions.
Take the money
It's not the number of hours it's work actually. If work is intresting people commit even more hours than they are paid for. But Musk does not have a clue. 🤔
work life balance
And those employees are irreplaceable?
And you were not making money
Work hard. Not smart. LOL.
Every company in America.
I just uninstalled twitter because of this. Shame on you elon. This is modern day slavery.
I used to think Elon was a genius, but not when it comes to investing or social issues. After he offers to buy Twitter and waves due diligence, he sets on destroying the confidence and value in Twitter before the deal is even closed. Now he is telling the remaining employees that are competent at their jobs and can easily find a new one to get out now. The ones that remain will not be the cream of the crop, and will likely only stay until they can find something else.
Elon knows what he wants. Sure he's going to lose loyal, talented staff. But the company was in crap already, created by the previous executives. Why can't anyone see he wants to save the company which requires a hardcore, disciplined work ethic of solid hard graft. Zero pampering staff to suck up to them.
@@wildebeest88 u gotta be kidding. Either ur too naive or too obtuse
Maybe he should set the bar low???? I vote to add more nap rooms!!!
You don't get it. It's called exploration sweetheart.
everyone must give the Soldier's Oath to the Fuhrer!
Damn. Tech workers now actually need to justify their $300k salaries? 😢
What? No more ping-pong and deli sandwiches? It was disgusting when I first heard of it 10 years ago.
How many twitter execs make 300k after taxes, let alone actual working class programmers? Not many. Industry workers need pay raise to tolerate turtle necked dorks running around in silicon valley, still. Even 10 years of death of original, who managed to pass away without producing new apple touchpad on his deathbed. How many original thinkers and enterproneurs worth more than entire industries we actually need before getting money worth of our work ethic?
Yes, like it or not, it is hard for the average worker to find sympathy for tech workers making 200-300k who are upset because they don’t like their new boss and because he laid off their work friends. We’ve all had bosses and leadership that we don’t like. If you’re truly unhappy, you can leave and find a new job or start your own business. You don’t stay and encourage each other to “disobey.” I know they miss their old work culture and blame Elon for buying the company, but it was the old board that sold it.
If most of the employees chose to leave twitter and create their own Twitter 2.0 with adopt a economical model llike the Wikipedia foundation I will fund them. Wikipedia is the 7 most visited website on earth and it's the only one of the top 10 who is non commercial and ads free.
The social media model is failing. Oh well! To bad 😞
Does US have labour laws sys ??
Man someone pissed Elon off
Musk is a hard worker.Therefore he needs the workers to operate at their best.
Elon does not settle for mediocrity.
So him demanding to have hard working staff is not asking for too much.
Why work at Twitter then ??? There are many companies with better benefits that will entice the smartest and brightest at twitter. Perhaps the Janitors will stay cause with employees being laid off and some quitting on their own, there will be less work for the janitors.
@@sevencostanza3931 Good point
am I the only one that thinks two of these people sound like a child that got in trouble for cashing their car and now upset that mom and dad wont let them use the family car. All i hear is two people saying elon is messing with something we use everyday, but what has changed on twitter for the everyday user. taking away employee sleep pods will change my twitter in what way?
These employees are the reason why Twitter has never made a profit, fire these soft humans and hire people that want to build something successful, out with the old and in with the new! Koodos Elon
Are you done giving him his sponge bath yet? Brown noser!!! 😆😆😆
I agree with Julie here
I'm so tired of Elon apologists
