Are you happy now?

The disgruntled developers want to get future jobs, and being the kind of person who leaves a timebomb is bad for future employment chances ("ok, but what if so-and-so gets similarly disgruntled here"), and probably bad for your bank account when you get sued.

There won’t be anyone else left at twitter who can act as your reference. Future jobs will just see that in your job history and accept your knowing look.

Also with so many people leaving, is a Timebomb even necessary?

especially with the world cup imminent, which causes huge traffic spikes

Elon: Are you hardcore enough for this job?? You can either swear by the samurai code of hardcoreness and earn a career of total misery, or you can have a 3 month vacation paid for by me. Choose!

Every dev: I choose the vacation.

Guys you just have no idea what you're talking about. yall are just flailing around like a bunch of tall penises. i've been sucking dick since 2012, probably a cock a day or more. nobody knows more about dicks on this forum than I do except maybe cumshitter but he's banned. making a cock explode is not a "disastrous result". it's whats supposed to happen. it means you're doing a good job. just take the L and move on.

He has been meeting today with engineers to convince them to stay

I would pay real cash money to be a fly on the wall at one of those conversations.

I mean what does he say?

What the actual gently caress is Elon Musk's idea of diplomacy.

Does he actually try to be nice?

Does he automatically start making threats

How does his brain react to these upstart peasents not instantly acceding to the wishes of his glorious golden godhood when he can't just fire them.

It is legit impressive that he has managed to surround himself with so many toadies that the very thought that a bunch of engineers actively choosing to call his bluff never even crossed his mind.

I have certainly met people that would grind up their staff for their raw materials, but never one that didn't also understand that I have multiple recruiters in my inbox constantly.

Elon is probably used to being able to abuse people at SpaceX and Tesla (both notoriously lovely employers) because a lot of people working there wanted to work on rockets/electric cars as a dream job. Also its niche engineering where theres few alternatives.

Nobody gives as much of a poo poo about Twitter. Sure, there's pride of craftsmanship and such, but it's just a social media site.

I once had a boss lose his mind when I said “well I don’t think this team is for me and it’s time for me to move on” after the 15th toxic spat. He acted as if I basically threatened to murder someone. Unthinkable!

A complete inability to see things from another person’s point of view, I reckon.

I work in an industry that attracts a lot of that "I'm hardcore I worked 147 hours last week" types and the kind of fake job havers who like exploiting them. Every single one of them is insanely poo poo at the actual job. My go to answer is "if you can't get the work done in your contracted hours you must be pretty bad at the job".

LTTP but I work in a Fintech startup (UK) and if you regularly have to work overtime to get your poo poo done then eyebrows will get raised. Everyone knows that everyone really only works at best 30 hours on a good week and the rest is admin.

It's time to start playing Hardball Elon.

Get on Twitter (while it's still working) and tell those losers who resigned if they're not back at their desk at 5am tommorow, they're double-fired. That should quell the mutiny of these peons. :colbert:

Basically forced resignations, because firings don't usually include severance like this outside of layoffs.

The sabotage already happened, buddy. It started with a sink and just went downhill from there.

The amount of people still at the company must be pathetically low. And they know morale is bad if they’re locking the doors to prevent server access. Amazing.
