Yup called it since they fired over half the full timers and most of the contractors.

They’re really pushing to bring on some Elon stans to exploit, huh? Time to see how plentiful they are in the Bay Area this many years later.

I’m going to guess that even an engineer who is biased towards Elon’s viewpoints would probably want to work somewhere else where they get a bigger risk for reward.

I should go update my LinkedIn so I get one of these recruiters in my inbox. Would love to know the compensation numbers.

Why are you splitting hairs about whether a full-fledged rocket blew up on the launchpad vs it exploding when it crashes into the ocean vs parts of the rocket catastrophically failing

Because none of that happened?
Flailing around about a "failure" when a prototype testbed designed to explode exploded in a successful test just outs you as being way out of your element.

No, you just have no idea. You're not gonna win this because you're just guessing and flailing. I follow this stuff just about every day since 2012. On SA probably only illectro knows more about SpaceX than me, but he doesn't post.

Wait wait wait. There are non-evil HR people?

Dunno about non-evil, but the only labor issue I've ever had to deal with have been late wages, and as soon as I'd brought them to HR's attention, I was immediately given the full amount of hours in back pay, but marked as overtime so I'd get 30% on top.

Someone I know had a lovely abusive boss and their HR rep shut down any complaints, but when they worked up the nerve to bounce the complaint further up the ladder, both the boss and HR rep were immediately fired and blacklisted and the complainee got half a year of paid sick leave to recover from the stress.

There's no panacea and obviously these situations shouldn't have happened in the first place, but it turns out having actual labor laws and basic accountability can do a whole lot of work.

Smart engineers only offer to come back as consultants at 4x their previous salary based hourly rate. Also prevents someone like Musk from simply working you 18 hours a day, since you're an hourly consultant now.

Are you asking about any explosions? Because they've exploded many dozens of pieces of hardware in testing, especially engines. The last time NASA was actually accomplishing poo poo was back when they did the same.
