This person is incentivized to show off how glamourous and laid back it is rather than the actual work they are doing in the 8 hours around this 2 minute video, so I'm not sure why you'd be reminded of it.

What’s the incentive to show how laid back they are? I imagine a significant population of tech workers would want to show off how much they work.

Free/cheap food, enough meeting rooms, and a place to walk.

You don't need a giant amount of amenities and every company I've worked at hasn't had enough meeting rooms.

If I'm adding to my wish list it's a shower so you can bike to work and rinse off. It's the daily conveniences rather than the crazy atypically perks I never use that I value.

I've seen other similar videos made in identical style. I think it was a viral trend. The objective being to enrage people with smug workplace laziness culture, and get plenty of views as a result.

I never understood how much of these videos was parody.

There were a lot of videos in this style from the twitter people. Turns out they run fine on 20 % remaining workforce.

Surely this is because Elon is there picking up the slack for the missing 80%.

I mean, they're making a lot less money, so I dunno. It's easy to run a company with a skeleton crew if you run it at a loss. it's the cost efficiency that makes it harder.

Half the revenue and being fined for failing to prevent child sexual abuse is fine?
