"Mr. Davis, the president of the Boring Company, has also directed Twitter employees to renegotiate the deals that the company has with firms such as Amazon and Oracle, which provide computing and tech services, the people said. The employees were told to suggest to those companies that Mr. Musk’s firms would not work with them in the future if they refused to renegotiate, the people said."

I hope they tell him to eat poo poo.

In my case I disagree with the first with the obvious exception that this rear end in a top hat got in without anyone googling (hisname + "SEC" + "DOJ"). But yes, the second thing is absolutely what happened.

What I've seen happen is that HR drags their feet about making a posting and lowballs the public salary figures and then leaves the team lead to interview all 5 of the people who bothered to apply. The interviews usually happen around 60-70% of the way through the notice period and the team lead is panicking to get someone in so they convince themselves that somebody can learn or change in the probation period. Then they don't but they're making progress so they make them permanent hires anyway because they wasted so much effort already. Then 12 months later they have to remove them and HR drags their feet making a posting...

Then there's no oversight once the sharks are in and management has no idea how to remove bad actors, if they even admit there's a problem

My old boss never read anything and just blurted out random incorect facts often to customers that were so clearly wrong it was cringy to sit there and listen to it. I wanted to scream just loving take 2 seconds and look it up and actually sound smart rather than just guessing, thinking u sound smart but actually come off like a massive egotistical idiot.

Musk reminds me of a supervisor I had that would sit in his office browsing facebook all day and then go around acting like everyone else is lazy and not working hard enough. Some shifts I'd be the only person there working a double shift and he would be sitting in his office just 'monitoring my progress' like :wtf:

He loves the smell of his own farts, I see his death involving trusting auto pilot too much while doing drugs in the moving car. If we're going with an OD I don't think he's at that level yet but on the path certainly.

watch out you are buying into a deliberate narrative, you might even say, a disinformation campaign. Most of these bills are fradulent and Twitter will be able to prove that in court just as soon as we they rehire all the people we fired who knew about the scam billing system.

Basically they had a microservice for creating fake bills and when we they pulled the plug the scammers got mad 😂😂 😂😂
