Would not want to work at Twitter
Someone shouldnt be banned because they dont agree with their being 10 genders+
They loose their safe places, but get to keep their snuggle blankets. Sounds fair.
Now on the 7th November Twitter are reported to be going to charge $8 a month to be a customer in Twitter. It will be a very small club indeed. Can you imagine many people in Africa, the Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe and about a third of the rest of the world wanting or being able to pay $8 US a month. lol
So is every major tech company. They are all.going to lay off employees. Geez…this is what happens when economies are in a down turn.
let us know what advertisers so we can stop buying their products
Don't want to do business with anti-free speech, anti-American
😂🤣
cope
Cutting the dead weight. That's just good capitalism.
Lol I wonder how many of those layoffed drives a Tesla.
Many small and mid cap companies need leaders like Elon. So many of them have been losing millions every quarter, to make it worse the losses have ballooned throughout the years too. There has to be a sense of urgency in many of these companies to cut headcount and costs big time. Fed won’t pivot until they see way more disciplined spending from gov and many corps that aren’t even profitable.
Good for Elon. The monomaniacal cult of Twitter has been a festering rot in social media for way too long. Although the banning of opposing viewpoints was a serious dereliction of fairness, I think the straw that broke the back of their business model, was the psychotic ban on a duly elected President. After that action, I think the entire world knew that something was seriously wrong within the Twitter walls. I hope Elon is able to repair and then revive it.
Your country club is now closed!!!! Lol!!!
In the words of jan saki: “they can find other jobs”
Bravooooo elon !!!
I think this is amazing news. Finally the left and hyperbole tech scene feels a taste of their own liberal medicine. Since 2019 I have been working for California based and Seattle based companies in the drone industry. How woke they have become with the easy fires and nepotism practices. Then at Skydio they are so woke they fired me and a few others while chanting "We need to hire more women why are there so many white males". Then boom, they finally hired one woman on the sales team and filled in the gaps with more old white men. Not being able to work in harmony male and female because of woke HR is one thing but the hypocrisy hires are another. Then in Seattle of course the 9 month pregnant HR gets hired, accuses everyone of interpersonal drama to cover up the hell's angel and substance abuse in the workplace and fires 8 of us. I got a measley $2k severance. while their RMA tech smokes dope and starts tweaking off while selling their china plug and play "US MADE" drones across america.
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch.
No no Elon musk only removing RSS HSS based terrorists inside
can we please bring back MySpace, I mean it's so much classier than twitter
Golden age for scammers
We love you Elon!!! Charing my Tesla X right now! 🙂
Boycott Twitter!!! All employees of Twitter should quit!!! Let Elon face the consequences of his greediness!!
I just uninstalled my Twitter account as a message to Musk and to say to all the people of twitter who got layd-off. Fu Elon.
Sounds like Twitter cleaning up it's act by getting rid of woke, racist, and less productive employees. Glad to see Twitter is now doing fact checking on some the stuff coming from the white house.
Elon's just a regular Republican and not even in charge of anything. It doesn't take an entire cerebral cortex to understand what they will do to the nation.
To all you ex twitter employees G T F U
The advertisers haven't left because of the layoffs lmao
SAD, THEY CAN APOLOGIZE AND FEEL SORRY FOR THE EMPLOYEES THAT LOST THEIR JOB! BUT IN REALITY, WHOEVER SOLD THE COMPANY MADE THE MONEY WHILE THE WORKERS WERE LEFT OUT OR A LITTLE PIECE OF THE PIE! JUST A FACT!
When they were hired they probably signed an intrusive arbitration agreement, so they might have let go of their rights without knowing it. Although, in California and New York, the employer can't not hire you based on not signing an arbitration agreement. Little known, sadly.
No one cared for all the small businesses that shut down during the spamdemic or the layoffs for not getting the jab. So why should anyone care about the Twitter layoffs?
