I cant think of an exchange that typifies more the contrast between the mindless ceo-babble thats like a more refined kamala word-salad, and the direct, unambiguous questions and statements by a genuine businessman.
If 90% of twitter is dead wood (censors, deepstate liason, fact-checkers, all zero-value providers), parag can take the stick-bundle with him on the way out the door for the last time.
90% of Twitter is dead wood, but those aren't the censors, liasons, fact-checkers, etc.
The true dead wood are the people who got hired because HR pushed them through because they have education and degrees, but are simply not good workers. Anyone who's worked, especially in tech, understands there are some people that just don't "get it." People who may not even be lazy, people who may not even be particularly dumb. But people who just don't "get it." They are simply incapable of producing.
This is something most people hate to hear. That not everyone can do every job, no matter how much training you provide them.
Don't get me wrong, the lazy and the dumb make up a good chunk of this dead wood, too.
These people end up doing nothing but paper pushing. Their roles shouldn't exist. But HR prevents them from being fired. Once you have an HR department, the only way to fire someone is with very clear, objective violations. "They're not producing" isn't enough. Anyone who's worked for a bigger company as management can relate. You hope that they start coming in late so you can get their three strikes.
Which sucks for everyone, because once you decide you need to start finding a way to fire them, you have to treat everyone the same, which means cracking down hardcore on everyone's time card. Which creates a hostile work environment.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could just fire people who aren't a good fit for the company? Wouldn't it be nice if candidates were pushed through in the first place because they have a genuine understanding of their field and capability to produce, rather than degrees and education?
This is the problem with every big company. And, since colleges are liberal breeding grounds, you end up with a company staffed full of liberals, which then leads to, well, everything we see. Because, even though they don't produce, they still have say within the company, especially in numbers.

Its not just twitter, or all companies, but is a generalization thats correct when applied to essentially any grouping of people. Sporting teams, social groups, gamers, outdoor enthusiasts, you name it.
Not a problem with big companies in right-to-work states. They can fire anyone for any reason, good or bad, or for no reason at all. On the other hand, I've always worked in a right-to-work state, and my last employer was very lenient about people.
There was one poor girl who not only didn't see a difference between "sale" and "sell," but said there ought not to be a difference. It was 6 months before she was out the door.
But some people did disappear suddenly. I was working one night and saw an attorney loading his stuff into his car. He had been let go and had to remove his things immediately. So he was there one day and gone the next, and we had no clue there was a problem.
There was also another girl who was dragging her feet on a major project. The boss called her out in the middle of the day and had her escorted from the building. I had to clean up her computer afterwards and take over the project, and the girl was actually keeping a database on the company computer of her movie collection. Not that it matters, but she was a lesbian.
Thats not true. Am in PA and people still do the HR dance in every big company ive seen or been apart of. Its all about avoiding any lawsuits or negative image.
Every company has to tip toe or they could become the next sesame place here accused of racism.
Maybe your company, or even your state, is special. I just know how every company I've worked for in NC did things. A boss would just go up to someone and say we don't need you anymore. Gather your personal belongings and leave. In the case of one factory job, the tool box was examined by the boss, sealed, and then reexamined at the gate on the way out. No notice is required by either party. I left a job high and dry in the middle of a rush time.
On the other hand, I think PA is special. I went there to do genealogy work and found that the state archives were locked away in a windowless tower. They were accessible only by choosing a record from the catalog, submitting a request, and then waiting for the records priest to go fetch that one item. You couldn't browse anything at all, and it would have taken years to have done what I could have done in a day or two in NC archives. Philadelphia wouldn't even let me look at old deeds. Here in NC, the clerk points the way and says have at it. So I can look through original records from back in the 1700s.
Not true. They cannot fire someone for being a protected class (sex, race, disability, etc.)
Which means that they risk a lawsuit if they fire someone for a flaky reason or for no reason at all. The person fired will claim that they were fired because they are a protected class, which puts the employer in a position where they essentially have to prove why they were actually fired. Courts are always subjective, even if that's not how the law is suppose to work.
That's why big companies have HR and that's why HR makes it so difficult to fire someone.
I took law classes that taught about this. Right to work in NC definitely means exactly what I said.
Hear, hear 👏
