  1. How much notice does an associate need? A year with 6 months paid severance? 6 days so they can cause damage to the property and business because they are mad and feel

    slighted instead of being fired and walked off premises same day ??? I have been laid off a few jobs and you get the day if that or end of day heading into a weekend. If you did your job and you where fair you have nothing to worry about, Karma's got you covered, you wont be fired, good job for you. ^_^

  2. Maybe the advertisers just aren't buying what Musk is bringing to the marketplace of ideas when it comes to Twitter. Seriously, who wants to pay money to be around Elon simps and Trump disciples?

  3. The world needs more transparency. I actively wrote against Trump before he was up for election when we saw his treatment of women. I don't support Trump but I support freedom of speech for all. Yes, I as a consumer need to opt for my advertisements and what I see. I don't wish/need to be handcuffed into political ads. IF Elon can make the consumer king again and still allow free speech, I am onbaord. Praying for a safer, more peaceful world with free speech we opt for, if anyone can do this, the rocket scientist Elon can. 🙏

  4. Been a life long VW owner but since they no longer believe in my free speech, I no longer believe in their products. Done!

  5. why does it matter? Musk said he's not doing it for the money. (I think we know now he lied about that). And this is why I believed from the start he won't succeed. As long as Twitter is beholden to advertisers, "content moderation," which actually means censorship, will return

  6. Muskrat is going to make Twitter better? 😂😂😂 Ask his employees about the regime under which they work.

  7. Obviously unemployment will increase, the economy is slowing, which is why this is happening. Earnings has decreased for many of these companies.
    The US will experience a recession next year due to the Fed's response to Biden's economy destroying policies.
    In 2024 the economy may slowly recover from recession, then these companies, with leaner cost structures, will post good earnings and their prices will boom

  8. What a terrible host. Why bother bringing guests onto your show if you as the host is going to do all the talking

  9. You’ve redefined the word recession. We are in a recession the next leg down is a depression. As for these companies boycotting Elon’s Twitter, boycott purchasing all their products. he’s trying to do the right thing and we should help

  10. Fantastic now those technocrats can go work for the Auntie human Technocratic companies they created . See what its like to work for Slavery wages

  11. you may as well as pay them in lieu of notice. They do very little anyway, and if allowed to come in for 40 days is it, then they will just cause problems.

  12. Twitter was filled with turds that needed to be flushed…

  13. Remember when the twits all said for the keystone pipeline workers to get trained in coding? Hopefully they get trained in turning wrenches, welding, equipment operators etc….

  14. Please tell us which companies are virtue signaling so we can not buy their products

  15. I will cancel or not purchase items from list of companies opposing free speech on Twitter. Time to fight back!

  16. Pfizer pulled its advertising money out of Twitter because Twitter is going to stop censoring people who say bad things about Pfizer.

    Color me SHOCKED.

  17. I’m so thankful for our transaction — you are awesome maskoffweb got me 0.5 bitcoin successfully

  18. I’m so thankful for our transaction — you are awesome maskoffweb got me 0.5 bitcoin successfully

  19. WOW, VW the company that lied to everyone about the emission levels of their vehicles, has zero moral grounds to stand on. Chevrolet was ok with people dying for the sake of a 5 cent component.

  20. Dagen MacDowell sounds just as bad as her name lolz

  21. did this woman just eat a peanut butter sandwich before she came on set LMFAO

  22. here is some virtue signaling for Musk and Fox , FUK OFF !

  23. Clearly Musk is implementing an algorithm which will keep different views apartheid…

  24. Start boycotting companies that are boycotting free speech twiitter.

  25. I checking who is pulling ads …. guess what ??? I guarantee I will not spend ONE PENNY ON YOUR PRODUCTS !!!

  26. Free speech doesn't mean you can convince people who might have mental problems of something crazy and cause them to turn to violence like Jan 6th and the Pelosi attack. That's manipulating people for your own self interest, not free speech.

  27. The left is making me rich as hell with all this "I refuse to buy from these leftist woke companies" idea

  28. Companies don't want their products advertised next to the weird and wacky conspiracy theories and racist BS these MAGA freaks post.

  29. SINKING OF THE USS LIBERTY

  30. employment is at-will. Notice can be 5 minutes. go start your own Company. maybe read Business news.

    – welcome to the club of out of work, rules for thee, Businesses shutdown, looted. First Responders laid off for mandates, defunded, ….

  31. ELON. WILL. MAKE TWITTER. BEST…WANTING. COKE. N. COKE… COCAINE…..PLEAAE…REALLY. JUST TO. TRY.

  32. STITT. U HAVE MY VOTE…. LANGFORD I PRAY. HE'LL. TUN. FOR. PRESIDENT….

  33. Well, you 'forcefully' sign him up to buy, so he 'foreseeably' sign you off goodbye. Fair dinkum😂

  34. As a tech worker I’m getting paid crazy money AND this lady claims I don’t do anything. The market says I do lady 😂

  35. My Atheist compadre Elon Musk should be able to find a way. He is a smart guy after all.

  36. Start calculating. Let's say 4000 people, average $150K per person. That means Twitter saves $600Mil. So f… these losers. Even if they win the lawsuit, it's still less than the cost savings. A true 1st amendment company!!! Go Elon. And do these idiots know that CA is a "at will" state. You can be fired for no reason, let alone these losers were probably fired "for cause", being deadweight, useless political activists, and constitution suppressors.

  37. It’s not virtue signaling. Advertisers and users alike are worried Twitter will fill with hate and conspiracy theories. No one wants to be a part of that (except for ppl who promote hate and conspiracy theories). And it’s not small revenue here. Even Elon is saying 50% or rev is at risk.

  38. Im cool with it! Let the trash take itself out. Nobody wants to see ads for GMs electric cars and other woke BS!

  39. I have advice for newly unemployed Twitter employees… Learn to code.

  40. > What do layoffs & mass terminations mean?
    > This old guy remembers PATCO and the President's speech declaring of PATCO that:
    > "They are in violation of the law and if they do not report for work within 48 hours they have forfeited their jobs and will be terminated."
    > Clearly, there are differences; but there are many similarities, as well.
    > What is the greatest relevance, here, is what happened next.
    > Within 2 years (and I knew PATCO folks, personally, growing up between DFW & Meacham), all those I knew were better off than they'd been before the strike.
    That said, I have a theory on this:
    > I dare theorize that, many who rattle the cage?
    > They do so because they want out.
    > If you get my drift.
