This seems like a miserable place to work. Of the part time CEO started telling everyone how many extra hours everyone else needs to put into their job I would tell them to eat shit.
And for anyone who would point out he runs several other companies that’s his choice, he could step down from one or more of them if he wanted to.
I don't see a long run happening.Most places pamper tech employees, because they are generally in demand and have high mobility.
Musk might temporarily be able to get away with making them miserable, but in the long run it seems like it's a recipe to collapse the workforce and company.

Musk: "An agreement under duress is not Valid."
You mean like forcing employees to sign an agreement to work extreme hours or get fired?
Consent decrees are invalid because I say so and I'm not going to follow them is certainly a path one can take.
Yes and no. Highly skilled tech workers are obviously still in demand, but there's been a huge wave of layoffs that will certainly impact more junior workers. It's kind of pathetic really, because highly profitable firms such as Apple, Microsoft and Google don't necessarily need to trim fat; except to appease its shareholders. To their credit, Apple actually hasn't implemented layoffs; rather just targeted hiring freezes (these companies are large enough that they're always hiring due to attrition and growth). A case like Meta, I understand. Zuckerberg fucked up and now he's in damage control to save his own ass. Intel is in a somewhat similar situation.Most places pamper tech employees, because they are generally in demand and have high mobility.

It's doubly sad because tech firms trying to run ahead of the curve, along with FOMC rate hikes to combat inflation, will certainly cause a recession. The scale of which is obviously unknown, but it's still pathetic that the one of the very wealthiest industries in the U.S. is the one choosing austerity first, and ahead of its people.
He's a hypocrite about everythingHe's such a fucking clown.
Latest from Musky. Sign up to slave day and night for him, or get out of the company:
I'd take the severance, but then again, could you actually Trust Musk to pay it?
As I've said, it seems his end goal is bankruptcy from the beginning when he realized he has to buy Twitter for that inflated price.I don't see a long run happening.
Equity shareholders lose massively in any bankruptcy proceeding. Unless he's a total moron, that was not his end goal. He likely could have walked away from the purchase agreement through negotiations. Twitter probably would have accepted ~ $5B to allow the deal to fail. A few estimates I read were in the $3B-$4B range during the summer, but the price probably goes higher once he sued Twitter.As I've said, it seems his end goal is bankruptcy from the beginning when he realized he has to buy Twitter for that inflated price.
I would be interested to know how he feels about increased traffic at Twitter considering that traffic seems mostly based around making fun of him.
Like Elon or hate him, we're at nearly 3500 posts in this thread. So obviously he's pretty prominent in business culture. Some are in it for shits and giggles, but increasingly a lot of people really hate this guy LOL.
