https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217381141I love their threads about Elon taking over Twitter. Elon asks the staff to step up to the plate so they can get things running like they should and the DUmmies wail. Project Veritas has videos of how bad the environment at Twitter was. One engineer told PV he worked basically 4 hours a week and that if you "just weren't feeling it" you could just takes days off. He even said some had taken months off and just came back.
They show people showing up to work mid morning, then going to the breakfast room for free breakfast, then hitting the meditation room for a bit before actually doing anything. They work a little bit then hit the lunch room, sit around then go home.
Elon is now asking them to work some overtime to get the business set up the way he wants to run it, them I'm sure it will go back to a 'normal' work week, but the DUmmies are absolutely incensed that he has the gall to ask these people to do their job. It just goes to show how few of the DUmmies have actually ever had a job.

Musk to Twitter staff: You must work long hours at high intensity or leave the company.
Elon Musk has told Twitter staff that they must commit to working "long hours at high intensity" or else leave the company, according to reports.
In an email to staff, the social media giant's new owner said workers should agree to the pledge if they wanted to stay, the Washington Post reported.
Those who do not sign up will be given three months severance pay, Mr Musk added.
The BBC has contacted Twitter for comment.
In his email to staff, also seen by The Guardian, Mr Musk said that Twitter "will need to be extremely hardcore" in order to succeed.
"This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade," he said.

2. this is not how you motivate your staff
One more indication that Musk doesn't have the slightest clue.
I can just about guarantee that a good 75-80% of the employees reading this macho screed - were insulted, PO'd - and are quietly plotting some degree of 'workplace revenge.' The company will not be running more efficiently in 1-2 months time.
Good job, Elly baby!

4. Looking for other employment
You have to love someone who was born with a emerald in his butt, never have to do anything for himself, just calls his staff for everything, saying this. I’m sure anyone who’s has talent will be leaving. Twitter’s gone within two years. Good luck
I don't think yankee87 knows anything about Elon's history.

9. I appreciate your long reply. I agree. As a European I am shocked at the lack of
days off and perks given to workers here in US. Treating your workers with respect and showing they are valued is the way to get the best out of them. Musk is a bully who must be hated and despised by his employees. That isn't a good way to improve Twitter!
I learned long ago that the more you give people, the more they will expect, as a rule. And lord help you if you ever remove some perk that was being given out of the goodness of your heart. This is what will happen at Twitter. Those who were the recipients of all those perks and benefits will throw a hissy if Elon takes some of it away (like FREE lunches) and they will quit. Unfortunately for those fools they will find that no one gives the kind of perks they were enjoying. They will leave and realize that even without a few of the perks they were taking for granted they were being given FAR more than they will ever get at a normal job.

6. The beatings will continue until morale improves
What a guy.
Shakes head thinking about the stupidity of the muskrat.
RainCaster left a word out. It should read "...the stupidity of the BILLIONAIRE muskrat.
Yeah, Elon is so stupid he is/was the richest man in the world. You don't reach that status by being an idiot. Sorry, you just don't.
