    Pretty sure my company is waiting for the initial chaos to settle and then we’re going to try to hire all the best people we can from the twitter layoffs.

    The idea that “only the best of the best” kept their jobs is absurd. We all know how downsizing goes. It’s a lot of political bullshit and shitty managers will throw good people under the bus to protect themselves.

    No doubt that even many of the people who are staying on are already thinking about when they’ll leave.

    Yes, twitter can operate on a smaller budget, but the best people want to work cushy jobs, not work for slave-driver Elon asking everyone to give their life to the corporate cause. Luuuulz Elon. Lulz

    • If you're not sleeping under the desk like Elonz you're not grindiiiing!PhanLo
    • I’m confident the best will leave voluntarily on top of the layoffs.monospaced
    • I hope Twitter will crash and burn
      ********
    • used twitter ages ago for about 2 months before i'd had enough of trying it. recently looked at again, don't get it. at least on youtube or reddit comments areshapesalad
    • under a post. twitter, you get some comments, an advert, recommended posts and as you scroll down it's so infuriating.shapesalad
    • Plus i always mistake the 'reply' button under a tweet as the 'comments' button. When you do press reply, the UI goes over the post, shows no comments.shapesalad
    • what the fuck is that, total shit UI/UX experience. Seems to be only for true twitter twits that get off on trying to squeeze a message into 280 characters.shapesalad
    • QBN leads the way with it's 160 character comment limitjonny_quest_lives
    • in a downsize like this you get rid of middle management, not engineers

      and there are tons of people willing to work to solve social moderation
      ********
    • You think 75% of the company was middle management?
      ********
    • Engineers are the most important role because you can’t do anything without them... but they’re incapable of being self-directed. If left alone, they just sit.
      ********
    • with due respect, wtf are you even on about?!

      Elon can cut everybody minus 2-3K engineers and hire moderation
      ********
    • twitter is social moderation full stop
      you need people to run the stack and moderate the fucking tweets
      everybody else is expendable in a private company
      ********
    • Elon solved EVs with Tesla, solved cheap space travel with SpaceX and it will solve online social moderation with twitter or die trying
      ********
    • SO if you think your company is hiring the best people leaving from twitter you're in for a laught

      only people leaving is the dead weight
      ********
    • Elon fired top management for cause, remember that ;)
      ********
    • And he is also bringing back Vine from the dead to crush Tiktok wait and see

      Engineers are already in the old code trying to get it back till end of year lol
      ********
    • So yeah the audacity your comp is waiting to hire the best leaving from twitter

      SMH lol
      ********
    • Do you personally know anyone at twitter? Work with any ex-twitter folks? I do, lots. I’ve worked with them.
      ********
    • I’ve worked for twitter. Graf, you’re a keyboard warrior posting from Romania. You have no idea what US biz is really like.
      ********
    • I’m sure you’ve watched many YouTube vloggers talking shit about it. Blind leading the blind.
      ********
    • Also “Elon solved cheap space travel”? Wtf when did he do that hahahaha.
      ********
    • Tesla apparently has been lying hard about fully automated driving. For years... hmmm right around the time Elon arrived at Tesla...
      ********
    • ...and demanded he be hired with the title “founder.” What he did for electric cars is cool but he’s also full of shit.
      ********
    • Society needed a cunt like him to go up against big auto. I won’t deny him that. Amazing result. Now, everyone else needs to run with the ball.
      ********
    • So all this 'cuz you're hurting for your twitter buddies?
      ********
    • It's more laughable that you worked there but don't know what twitter is, or how it's perceived as a comp both in the markets and/or by its users
      ********
    • And yes Elon solved cheap space travel, that's reusable infrastructure. I didn't say personal space travel but probably will acomplish that shit too
      ********
    • I'm retraining as a therapist graf, would you be one of my case studies for final paper? It would be confidential.fadein11
