Can we please recognize that this is a holiday weekend and Elon rammed a big release forcing his engineers to come in and iterate multiple patches over the last 12 hours.

Twitter Engineers have had over a year to get out and find another job. At this point the terms of their employment and the expectations from their boss are all crystal clear. Hard to sympathize with those who continue to stick around for whatever reason.

You are telling people who are being abused that it's their fault that they didn't leave. This is victim blaming.

>>joe__f+Gm1
Are you really considering a tough work environment at a high tech company to be abuse? At company that little voluntarily choose to be employed at?

Do you know what conditions are like in most jobs?

Freedom to be exploited or be homeless…

I mean, that's not an "against Twitter" complaint, that's an "against everything in the way the world works" complaint.

I think it's a pretty wrong complaint too, but for sure that's not on Twitter.

(And I really don't think Twitter employees are the best case study here, they are mostly capable of not literally being homeless if they work somewhere else.)

Yes as in, why is it normalised that you would expect to pushed too hard in many work environments, and it be on you to deal with this? Elon Musk is just a poster child for this kind of institutionalised bullying

As in my OP here, if you've set up your life around working at Twitter and then a new CEO rocks up and demands everyone 'go hard or go home', then sure you can go home and if you don't like his approach then eventually you'll have to. There will be people who find it more difficult to change jobs for whatever reason, and while they need to take responsibility for getting themselves out of a bad situation, it's not their fault that a new bully turned up in a position of authority on their block
