Not only did Elon Musk go full psychopath today trying to publicly demean one of his (apparently now) former employees, of all people he chose *this* guy to attack, to really contrast himself with what a good human looks like.

*slow clap*

@dailygrail how fucked up is it that they sack people by locking them out of their equipment? Have they even sacked them if they haven't told him about it?

@wtfrank @dailygrail I think this isn't totally uncommon, companies fear vengeful insiders who just got fired. (probably a sign the company doesn't have security set up internally well however, if a single account can wreck things)

Logging in every day must be hell on the people with high anxiety.

@Soyweiser @wtfrank @dailygrail i think it's just a “musk being an arse” thing, not a customary behaviour – even for an american company. the usual approach (in my experience of an european employee of various american companies) is just to have a meeting with hr to finalize details, and lock the service access (where it's needed) during the meeting, while informing the employee about being locked out of the services.
@mawhrin @Soyweiser @dailygrail that seems like a fairly reasonable approach
