CitizenVectron Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Well then Twitter to start charging $20 per month for verification - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM “The whole verification process is being revamped right now,” Musk tweeted. Oh, and the employees working on the subscription changes have been told that if they don't make it go live by Nov 7 (from ve business days) they will be fired Quote Twitter is planning to charge $19.99 for the new Twitter Blue subscription, though that price is subject to change. Employees working on the project were told on Sunday that they need to meet a deadline of November 7th to launch the feature or they will be fired.

CitizenVectron Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Looks like a multi-pronged effort: Have cause to fire a bunch of people (though making such quick, arbitrary deadlines likely won't qualify for termination with cause) Get "even" with journalists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the employees working on the subscription changes have been told that if they don't make it go live by Nov 7 (from ve business days) they will be fired I wouldn't even bother trying to meet that deadline and willingly be fired. Know how I know I wouldn't bother with an impossibly tight deadline? Because the last time a CFO gave me a project to do within an impossible time frame while threatening to fire me, I told him it was impossible and went back to my desk and started cleaning up all my stuff, waiting to be fired. I didn't even bother starting the project. I just spent all my time in the office joking around, looking for another job, and slowly bringing all my shit back home. I never looked back. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such a bullshit request, too. We were a Windows shop, all Microsoft apps, and Windows-based security. He wanted the entire fifty or so engineering team swapped over to Mac's in two weeks. I told him that was bullshit because it would take a week just to get that many MacBooks delivered, so he bumped the deadline out to 3 weeks. When I told him it was impossible, he said and I'll never forget this quote "That's bullshit, because I know Macs are easy to setup." I bought one MacBook and never even bothered getting the rest quoted, never bothered getting the one on the domain, or even bothered buying licenses for anything. I just used it as my job hunting laptop while tethered to my phone, since it had no security on it. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last interaction with my manager there was too chew him out for not having my back on an impossible project. He apologized and approved a pretty reasonable severance No idea what happened to them since then. I looked them up on Google Maps just now, but it says they're permanently closed. Seems they got bought by Accruent out of Austin. Damn, I'm getting old. LinkedIn says this was all twelve years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricofoley Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Genuinely fascinated to see what happens with both Meta and Twitter in the next year or so. Two huge companies both pivoting in a wholly different direction that nobody actually asked for entirely on the whims of one guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the UI, it's like a slightly cleaned up Twitter, and it feels a little more responsive as stuff loads as you scroll. But yeah, there's like no traffic on there whatsoever to this point.

We've discussed BlueSky already and because it's a "framework" rather than an actual platform, we're pretty sure that his intent is to eventually sell it to the Muskrat as replacement for Twitter's existing architecture. Also, it's goddamned Jack Dorsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
