Nobody defending Elon's management decisions should ever be in charge of people.

If you fire people for disagreeing, you surround yourself with yes-men and liars.

If you evaluate software engineers on lines of code, you'll reward inefficiency and code bloat.

If you push people to work 12 hours a day, work quality will suffer and turnover will (quite rightly!) be huge.

This is going exactly as badly as he deserves.

@dpthorngren I sincerely believe everyone should literally leave, no matter how Elon Musk's gonna get worse, even the "nicer" people.

They even fucked up 2FA... they are purging even more staff.... i swear that i can no longer take their stance on remaining on Twitter so seriously.

@dpthorngren @AleF2050 and he's now given them an easy out (except for those on work visas): simply don't click "yes" on his stupid form

@dpthorngren @AleF2050 he's gonna end up losing a bunch of people while paying their severances, and the remaining workforce will be asked to work like a startup while supporting an established huge codebase

@matunos @AleF2050 I can't imagine NOT taking that route for anybody that hasn't gotten fo fired with severance some other way

@AleF2050 @dpthorngren people on work visas are in a tight bind on, because the consequences of not finding another job in 60 days are so much higher; but for those not under such constraints, I agree.
