Seriously, I would have a team of security with dogs starting at the top floor and work their way down, cleaning out all employees as they go. Everyone on the floor gets a 10-minute notice to grab their belongings, because the floor will be evacuated of all personnel.
When people get to the entrance, give them instructions on how to pick up their 2-week severance check and how to apply for unemployment / government healthcare benefits.
There shouldn't be one person left in the building an hour after the announcement is made other than the guards. A skeleton crew new team of I.T. specialists would have already been assembled to keep things running for the next few weeks while re-staffing.
That's more than fair.. they've really had all week to pack their shit, anyone that showed up on Friday would really be asking for it. These idiots have been riding the gravy train for a long time and know they don't do any real work.
Fallujah as in the city in Iraq where 4 contractors were killed and strung up. It was a pretty dangerous place to be even if you were a fully armed and armored Marine Corps combat unit. I've lived in San Fran for a year, and it's going to take a pallet of cash to get me just to consider going back to the Bay Area.
Dragon is SpaceX's (another Musk company) manned spacecraft. I could be lured into highly disavdvantageous position in exchange for a shot at low earth orbit. :)
Everyone is fired and you can reapply for the 75% fewer new open jobs. 1st question will be "what value have you brought to twitter since your hire" 2nd question will be "did you sign the letter".
Exactly the response I said I would do whilst talking to a coworker about this. Fire all the MFers, burn it all down and start over. Its the only way to know for sure.
After seeing that letter, I would have said something like, "I don't know how many people here actually support these demands, so I need everybody who agrees to sign on." Then, those would be out the door and if anybody was left I'd remind them that they were employees, not kings.
Better have security come in immediately and drag them all out, lock the doors.
Otherwise, you never know the damage they will cause on their way out.

You should be one of The Bobs.
“Samir Naga, Naga… Notgonna work here anymore! Hahaha!”

It would be funny if everything just kept working as normal except for the censorship.
Looks pretty FAKE to me. Got a link?

It is obviously fake.
"Go away or I will create a small Shell Script to replace you."
How much you paying Elon? I need a job..I mean I have 3 currently, but it'd be nice to downsize to 1.
Am Site Reliability Engineer. No military or professional security experience, but am familiar with most common small arms and self defense laws.
Willing to work short term contract in San Fran Bay area for triple Fallujah rate, a ticket on Dragon, and Chanel Rion's phone number.
Other than CR's phone number, I have no idea what those other things/demands are, lol. Fallujah? Dragon? It's all Greek to me.

Thanks. I didn't know about Dragon. I hope you can get a shot at it without having to submit yourself to Nan's San Fran.
I agree fire all the misfits and bring in new.
I'd keep a few in HR to handle all the paper work. Work smarter, not harder.
Keep HR on staff long enough to process all the paperwork, then give HR employees the boot and have an outside firm handle THEIR paperwork.
Whatever department is best to process all the dismissals. HR is a broad term. We've all had awful things subjected to us from HR.n
I think it would be best to use outsiders for that too.
You could lose knowledge by not respecting continuity. Imho. Outsiders could be in the room with them. Should be in the room with them.
He can outsource the HR dept.
