Took a little while but looks like my prediction came true.... Elon Musk’s Cuts at Twitter? A Data Center, Janitors, Some Toilet Paper - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Elon Musk has reduced the company to a bare-bones operation, and employees are under a “zero-based budgeting” mandate to justify any spending. Quote At Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, where the company has missed rent payments, Mr. Musk has done the same, consolidating workers onto two floors and closing four. He also canceled janitorial services this month, after those workers went on strike for better wages. That has left the office in disarray. With people packed into more confined spaces, the smell of leftover takeout food and body odor has lingered on the floors, according to four current and former employees. Bathrooms have grown dirty, these people said. And because janitorial services have largely been ended, some workers have resorted to bringing their own rolls of toilet paper from home.

Also it now sounds like the Seatle office is being closed and anybody from there is being asked to work from home. I wonder how soon till Boy Genius demands workers from there to move to SF in 24h or be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your own mental health, and sanity please follow our advice we've been trying to tell you for months now; STOP LOOKING AT RIGHT WING CRAP ONLINE!!! Stop going to Fox News. Stop looking at what Ben Shapiro is saying now. Stop looking at what Trump is spewing. I get it, there's someone I used to hate monitor to see what stupid thing he was saying next, hoping maybe the latest scandal, or development, or new discovery would finally change his mind, but these people don't change, and they get inside your head and start living there rent free, and then you start thinking about what they probably think about every little thing. You don't want that. Stop looking into them, and eventually it'll stop. Do something far more productive with your time. Read a book, play a game, watch a show/movie. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
