Do you think Elon Musk is enjoying this massive layoffs at Twitter? I mean he seems to be ok with it and then he forgets that he is not supposed to show his pleasure so he will act to be sad about this decision. What do you think?

If you paid $54B for a company that loses $4M every day, you’d fire a ton of people too. Especially for a company that is objectively overstaffed. Foolish to view it any other way

It’s foolish to buy a company for 54B that loses 4m per day.

Originally, I thought it was cruel. But after seeing that the workers are covered until February, what I would expect will happen with the majority of these workers are that they will find another job and will have double income for a while.

Felt that it was generous to get coverage until Feb’23. Not fun to be in that situation but it helps with income without having to work for a few months.

I think he may have been a bit to quick with the layoffs, given that 72hrs later Twitter is now frantically trying to hire back some of the staff they laid off!

Usually, you approach layoffs a bit more deliberatively or, as my grandpa used to put it: Proper planning prevents piss-poor performance.

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).

Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
