I'm a little bit confounded that Twitter's current culture is such that a large number of people contemplate sabotage as an appropriate response to changing employment conditions. I mean, maybe the company culture really is broken.

[bmitc]

Who said they are contemplating it? They simply took their boss’ offer up, and it is the boss who is so paranoid about the reaction to his actions that is locking up the place. Musk and Musk alone caused this and is now getting people like you to somehow blame it on the employees.

Everyone who didn’t click the button has probably already moved on with life, unlike Musk, who I bet tries to back out of the promise of three months of severance.

"Changing employment conditions" is a supernaturally charitable phrasing.

Especially for doubling your required weekly hours.

Sabotage is an appropriate response to sufficiently terrible "corporate culture".

[rmatt2000]

People get layed off from companies all the time. Why is it the end of the world when it happens at Twitter?

[giraffe_lady]

I haven't seen any reason to suspect or expect sabotage per se, where are you getting that? And if you did want to sabotage it, what could you do that would be more effective than what musk himself is currently doing, short of straight up shutting it down?

> maybe the company culture really is broken.

Well it certainly is now!

I could maybe see an internal group trying to seize it. It is a very significant connector of people, I can imagine how you could believe in it passionately as a product/movement/force in the world. I don't, but it's not a big stretch. And if you did, I think also that from that perspective musk clearly does not care about it in that capacity, and has done great damage to its power and potential. The pieces are definitely there so that a "true believer" could justify a takeover.

In Elon’s mind… And given that he fired most of the stuff and shutdown most of internal services, big outage is more likely each day.

And I can bet $10 he’ll blame it on sabotage.

[throwanem]

$10, hell. You'd need to put down $500 just to come out $10 ahead.

Layoffs are fine, but not mass resignations?

Workers are serfs to these people, the neoaristocracy-supporters that love CEOs don't really like to be challenged by the peasantry.
