MikeJF posted:That, and poor souls on H1B visas. Or people who really can't afford the chance of a healthcare interruption. Or are junior enough that they're not a shoe-in for other jobs and are financially extended already by moving to SF to take the Twitter job. I do feel for the people reliant on health insurance, is that part of the 3 months of paid benefits? Because I reckon after another month at twitter, they're going to probably need those psychiatric benefits. As for H1B/junior staff, I'd been led to believe the job market for ICT is "super hot" and find it hard to believe anyone with twitter on their resume would struggle to find a job (especially now that remote working is far more prevalent than two years ago). Regardless, if you're still at twitter right now the calculus is the same, you can take the 3 months notice or you can quit in a month after 4 weeks of 18 hour (extra hardcore!!!!!) days when you can no longer get out of bed and get nothing. These people are being offered a lifeline and need to get out because IMO there's no viable path for a career at twitter anymore.

Eh, last thing I'll say on this derail but I know for a fact the rights are not 100% the same on inheritance/death in Ontario from family experience. My aunt was common law married (legally declared and everything) and when her common law husband died without a will (and a lot of stuff was legally in his name, not joint, because they were somewhat old fashioned), by law she wasn't considered next of kin or considered to have any right to his estate and everything went to his brother. https://www.willful.co/learn/common-law-ontario Fortunately he was a decent guy and signed everything over to her but in a more contentious family you're just asking to be screwed over if you assume it's 100% like a "real" marriage and don't need a will.

Yeah no kidding. It's going to be fun watching them try to attract talent now as well. Like a lot of Silicon Valley companies have crunch culture but I can't think of many where the CEO is constantly yelling online about 1. How bad he's going to make it and how he thinks it's a good thing and 2. Well costs are too high and the implications of what that means for your salary expectations. Probably will just be terrible Musk cultists by year end and they ain't the best engineers. Mr Luxury Yacht fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Nov 16, 2022 |

I think the people who stay are less likely to get 3 more months of pay than the folks who take the severance. Assuming he doesn’t renege of course.

So some article I read years ago about Elons mentality came to me. It was something about start up operating lean or flexible or what ever the gently caress they call it. But the idea is you need to make decisions you have a 50/50 chance to make the right call, so waiting for studies report or what ever just holds you back if you make a wrong call you can always go back and correct it. For a small young company that needs to show the market/investors something it can make sense. hell I remember some Nasa guy saying when elon decided to do drone ship platforms for the rockets, by the time nasa would finish studies and meeting elon was already landing rockets on them. Its nice to see why that style doesnt work

It's fine if you have lots of little things you can burn and replace with relative ease. When you have a single, monolithic product, breaking it 50% of the time - even if you can fix it quickly - is perhaps not the best idea.

Taking 3 months of severance seems like a great deal though I'd probably just do nothing as long as possible till i got fired

The only people he's going to keep are those who feel that they have no choice, and career bootlickers. Hardly the cream of the crop.

When it comes to rocket stuff it's always good to remember that SpaceX succeeded because Gwynne Shotwell was doing the actual running of the company (and is experienced at managing Elon and stopping him loving things too badly), and because Tom Mueller is a brilliant rocket engineer. Elon's contribution was funding and PR.

Durzel posted:How much truth is there in the pervasive rumour that Twitter staff (and SV folk in general I guess) have a very cushy working life compared to what most others would experience? I can accept that it's a bit of a meme the whole "1 hour of work, the rest of the day in the rec room", but I wonder what substance there is to it. Obviously that culture is the opposite of what Musk wants, and his "40 hours in the office and you can work the rest of them from home" is too far on the other end of the spectrum. I guess I'm just curious as to whether Twitter was an outlier in terms of productivity vs wellness, or whether that's typical in SV, or whether it's all just hyperbole. tuo posted:It's a good way of getting rid of the people who don't have a problem finding the next job, even granting them three months of pay, and keeping the rest.

How far is Elon from pointing a gun at an employee and demanding an employee hop inside of a model rocket he built or else?
