Incredible. Those that were impacted got four weeks severance as thanks for clicking yes and turning down the three month deference offer.

It does suck, but at the same time how fucken dumb do you have to be to turn down 3 months severance to bet on Musk not doing exactly what he has been doing for the past 3 weeks - i.e. firing people on a whim?

What did these people think was going to happen, that he'd feel some sort of human emotion that they clicked the "yes" box in his email, and value them more? That it would mean they'd made it through to the other side of the carnage and lived to tell the tale?

A lot of them are in the US on the kind of visa that requires them to get a new, similar job in 60 days or they have to leave the country :(.

I'd say they have all been desperately job-hunting for the last month.

I’ve seen at least one post from an effected person that confirmed they were on a visa. I assume a lot of them are in the same boat if they stuck around after the last month, and now their lives are getting scrambled right at the start of the holidays. The tweet I saw said he had 60 days to find new employment before he was in violation. Really sucks.

Musk has no guiding principles of his own, the only value left is dollar value and he do whatever it takes to keep it humming along. Even buying Twitter.

I think it's important to note that this the opposite of true.

Buying twitter was not a dollar-value decision.

It was exactly about imposing his principles on the world. Specifically, letting people be mean to the Trans community, and letting Trump take power by lying about the election.

A large corporation should be putting people on performance improvement plans if they produce unsatisifactory work in order to establish a paper trail of them failing to live up to their positions' expections before firing them (or maybe they actually do improve and they keep the job).

Just firing people after one bad code review (unless it's like **REALLY** terrible, and even then I'd think it'd have to be something like pushing really obviously broken code to production, not just submitting subpar stuff to a code review) could open you up to wrongful termination lawsuits if the employee can argue that you fired them for a prohibited reason federally or in their jurisidiction.

Instead they only get what, 1 month, less? with ultimately the same outcome.

I'm probably being a bit too remote from it really because if I were on a rolling 60 day "either you work or you're deported" thing then I probably would think differently and would feel like I had to gamble on Musk not being a dick at least within a reasonable timeframe for me to find somewhere else to work. Little did they know that Musk "moves fast, break things", including people.

Man US worker protections just suck, and the H1B visa thing sounds particularly grotesque. 4 years of accumulated tax contributions and you're still no more worth to the country than the day you landed.

This is true of many if not most private sector jobs in the us, are you anti labor? Serious question.

Oh no, I shouldn't take this H1B visa and objectively improve my life and make money for family back home because what if the company gets bought out and I get fired???! Like for real what are you trying to say here?

Edit: I have spent my entire career knowing that capitalist whims could evaporate my job and in fact this has happened once in the very direct way, and once in the "we will make this place toxic until you quit" way. And yet I still work for.... another company that could get bought out or fire me any time. This isn't ideal but afaict my alternative is unemployment now vs maybe later. The longer I stay employed, the more unemployment we could weather without going under. So sure I am a pro labor DSA voter in the sheets but I have to be a pragmatic wage drone in the streets, or, live on them.
