Well, I mean, would you want to work for a racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, Putinesk fascist tyrant smelly welly?

I’d be less concerned with that stuff than the expectation to work more than a reasonable 40 (maybe the occasional 50) hour week.

Yes, this is very true!

Twitter employees, LOL

They really going to leave that gravy train? A job with no real responsibility. Good luck finding something else on easy street.

guessing they mean leave and go to their assigned safe space in the breakroom.

Well, yeah, actually I do.

I was part of a medical software start-up a few years back. I can tell you personally just how incredibly hard it is to find good ones, especially with certain skillsets, and Twitter's structure is incredible. I know you won't believe that, of course, but even Musk is going to have some serious difficulties replacing specialized workers at that level. Twitter's at the top or near the top of the corporate tech heap, and each one of their employees generates something like a million dollars worth of revenue compared to the $750K-per-employee revenue Musk's other ventures make. (Which is still a lot.)

Those employees get paid accordingly, and their skillsets are commensurate. Twitter gets some of the absolute best, and have for quite awhile. They are absolutely a top-drawer destination gig. And they need to stay that way to stay Twitter.

Musk's gotta walk a very, very fine line here, and Musk is absolutely going to have to sell them on whatever vision he has in mind, or he'll suffer pre-emptive brain drain before he ever comes aboard - he doesn't officially take charge until the end of the year, which is a long time for Twitter's employees to plan what's known as "Next Play" in Silicon Valley - and if the creative impetus of Twitter jumps ship before he ever climbs aboard, the Twitter he takes charge of at the end of the year could be a hollowed-out shell. He really needs to avoid that if he has any chance of "unlocking Twitter's true potential."

You might be a step or two behind him on this.***
