[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77010265, member: 123415"] But let's be realistic here, what exactly was their best-case, real-world assessment they had in mind for what was going to happen? Given that their layoffs came at the same time as both Meta and Amazon, did they think there wouldn't be mass layoffs if someone else was running it? Did the Twitter employees envision some "perfect world" scenario in which they complained loudly enough, Elon said "well, gee shucks, I guess I'll give the company to someone else who shares the political values of the employees" or "well, since they're really upset and like the creature comforts they had, I guess I'll just operate it at a loss so that we can keep the bloated staffing headcounts and let the inmates keep running the asylum" One could make a fair argument that some of the implied expectations of excessive work hours (regular 60+ hour weeks with no additional compensation), and a new owner coming in like a Bull in a China shop may not be the best approach...but that doesn't mean the previous arrangement was a healthy balance either. ...and I hate to be "that guy", but given the most common age ranges listed for Twitter staff [ATTACH type="full"]323564[/ATTACH] It would seem as if they had some sort of expectation that their place of work should mirror that of a social club, where shared values about things not related to the business itself should be viewed as equally important to the business operations. Over half of Twitter's staff was in the "Safe space generation" which could explain a lot. [/QUOTE]
