Total Party Kill posted:My non-Musk owned giant three-letter mega-corp just had a town hall meeting where they exclaimed excitedly that "the past two years have been our most profitable ever [at least for our business unit] and that we have been the most agile and adaptive workforce in the industry." and then in the next breath told us that we need to return to the workplace for... reasons. Meanwhile I live no where near the rest of my team and will likely have to leave my job simply because I can't/won't plant my rear end in a cubicle three hours away from my home. If it's anything like before though it would be probably be up to the local situation and ai haven't been to the office yet.

When I get bored of playing Flight Simulator, I crash the plane into the terrain or a building. You can go from cruising altitude down to the ground really fast if you try. Doesn't cost $44b though. The Butcher fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Nov 10, 2022 |

Certainly in the UK your contract states your place of work. Mine says home, so if I got told I had to spend each day in the office in a different city, I'd be able to say "no thank you". Likewise a colleague who lives similarly far away didn't apply for a home based role and moans that he has to come in - well tough titties, the contract says he's office based. I'm guessing the US doesn't have this.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:I'm guessing the US doesn't have this. The US largely does not have employment contracts, no. There probably are a handful of people with contracts that specify their working location, but the contracts certainly have terms for how Twitter can terminate the contract that I'm sure Elon would choose to exercise (at additional expense to Twitter).

Apologies if this a repost, but events at Twitter are falling faster than the Russian retreat from Kherson.Rinkles posted:How does this end? Any chance of Elon cutting his losses and bailing before the damage is unsalvageable?  Apparently a Twitter lawyer posted this in their internal Slack: quote:Twitter is a remote-first workplace, and has operated as such for years. It is a fundamental change to our employment contracts to require a 40hr a week in-office requirement. I do not, personally, believe that Twitter employees have an obligation to return to office. Certainly not on no notice (it at all). Excatly how quick is the FTC at nailing someone? Are we talking months here?

goatface posted:The East India company doesn't care about your existing caste system. Now pay your recruitment fees and get making money for the company or we start shooting. Not true. Both the leadership and the employees of the East India company grew up under a very stratified class system, and they saw the caste system as an oriental version of something they knew and loved dearly. Later on, they would expand the system by adding the idea of "martial races" and "non-martial races" to create a two-dimensional caste system from the original one-dimensional caste system.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:Can’t wait for Elmo’s tweet where he nukes that unlimited PTO policy but nobody knows what the new policy is Unlimited PTO is always a bulshit scam policy that tech companies use as a way to limit people from taking as much time off as they should. I've been with my company for 8 years, and got extra PTO days at different time milestones totalling about 25 per year now. HR even bugs me if I haven't booked them all by the end of the year. In an Unlimited scenario, people get their PTO rejected more often and they make out people who take more than the bare minimum to not be team players. It's a way for companies to give less vacation days while looking good for it.

Dacap posted:Unlimited PTO is always a bulshit scam policy that tech companies use as a way to limit people from taking as much time off as they should. I completely agree with you but for anyone still at twitter waiting for Elmo to gently caress up another layoff, taking RTo nonstop seems like a fair gamble. Plus I bet that message from the outgoing legal folks made him super mad so he’ll want to contradict them as much as possible out of spite

"martial races" came after the Company was gone, the Company would recruit basically whoever into their armies, and IIRC were in fact quite notable for recruiting quite alot from lower class Bengalis and the like. Also the fact that there wasn't much in the way of systems around to officially identify who was and wasn't a sepoy, and uniforms came later than you'd think, so a genuine problem that developed was that anyone who could get some weapons and could bullshit could go around pretending to be a sepoy and extort people for money if they so desired.

So remote working was ended via fiat from ol musky at midnight musk o'clock, even though that was after start of business hours in Europe. So European tweeps(?) heard they had to be in-office hours after their working day had started. They contacted their managers to find out what the hell, the managers contacted HR, who had no heads up, no clue, so they are desperately writing policy in the aftermath of a musk brainfart. Every time I think, "there is no way he is this loving stupid", Musk manages to blindside me. He is quite possibly the stupidest man in history.

Dacap posted:Unlimited PTO is always a bulshit scam policy that tech companies use as a way to limit people from taking as much time off as they should. When I first entered the workforce I was also like "PTO caps are some bullshit, unlimited PTO is awesome!" but eventually came around to exactly what you posted here. If your PTO is unlimited then you simply never take it, or don't take as much as you should. It's the kind of policy that Elon Musk should love: it sounds great but is fundamentally not good for work-life balance in practice. And that's why it stands some chance of surviving At our company we have a PTO bank that's got a cap of basically whatever amount you'd earn for 2 years of work (if you earn 5 weeks per year, then the bank can hold up to 10 weeks). Everyone takes their annual PTO because it feels like you're taking a pay cut if you don't, but it's nice having that extra bank capacity in case you have a busy year; it just makes you take more breaks the following year QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Nov 10, 2022 |

He'll justify this by claiming that it was "never about the money" and that his mission was to clean up the platform by making all the users and advertisers disappear, so mission accomplished.
