my grandfather was a buisnessman who made businesses.

In my youth I asked him about LLC's and the ads I saw for corporations etc.

This is what he said to me and it always stood out.

"you see rail, a llc or buisness is just a loving name on paper, TELL ME HOW THE MONEYS MADE!"

EDIT: holy poo poo page 410 just ten more pages of poo poo posting and ELON WILL VISIT US

I'd love to see the chud argument for both demanding 80hrs/week in person in the office and cutting daycare benefits.

Like, if we put aside how much Munt is running Twitter eXtreme like he's a dipshit teenager on a powertrip, that poo poo just straight up doesn't make sense unless your goal is to force people to quit.

I presume at this point everyone left is on an H-1B visa and leaving the job would mean they are in the US illegally.

It cannot be stressed enough how the H-1B system is modern indentured servitude. Your employer can do whatever they want to you and your only option is to accept it or quit and leave the country. Technically you can try and find another company to sponsor you, but that just gives the new company more leverage to screw you, which they will because hiring you on requires more time and money than a citizen.

From Platformer:

“During one Sunday meeting, Musk explained the concept of native advertising to the team, according to one person who was there, despite the fact that the employees were already well aware of the format. He said that the company’s ads should “look like tweets,” one employee said, despite the fact that the company’s ads already are tweets.”

You can leave your kids at the Tesla daycare facility, where they can spend all day trying not to get hit by our cars. Best part is they’ll be so tuckered out by the end of the day you can put ‘em right to bed!

I don't even understand how he'd be able to review hundreds of emails with code every Friday, even if he was a good coder that would be a huge task. And how would he even be able to tell what's good and what isn't without the greater context of whatever the code slots in to. And if he could do that, then what? Is he gonna spend the weekend marking up corrections? How can anyone think this is smart management?

Why would you even want that many emails from all your employees? poo poo sounds nightmarish to sift through every Friday, and there is no loving way he reads all of them.

I worked at an education building where the Administrator had daily end of day emails where we had to say what we did, and there's no loving way she ever read any of them because I must have sent the same email with a different date over 100 times at least.

All that does is make every employee loving hate you.

If I were to venture a guess it would be a decent way to collect information you could then use (manipulate) as leverage against an employee should the need ever arise. But I don't know very much about employment law of whatever jurisdictions he has to contend with, if it's at will I'm guessing it's irrelevant.
