Subject: Your role at Twitter
is hereby eliminated by your own past actions.
you may however become a blue check twitter user for only $8 a month.
Carry on..

Twitter
Once all the truth comes out regarding Twitter's censorship and collusion with governments to filter and manipulate information to sway public opinion and restrict free speech, having Twitter on your resume will be looked upon poorly.
Would be best to remove it and replace those years with "sat at home with my thumb up my ass and did nothing."
If Twitter isn't a government op I have no idea how they are worth 44 Billion dollars. Where does their revenue come from? Advertisements? Who doesn't run an add blocker? It doesn't make any sense. It has to be dirty money.
The way remote wiping works is that it wipes when the machine is booted. I know your going to say butt, butt also
Generally the encryption keys for the harddisk are stored remotely on Twitter servers, the PC has enough that can run unencrypted so it can go ask Twitter for the key to decrypt the rest of the drive, so if your access to the Twitter vpn is revoked, your access to the decryption keys to open the disk volume that contains the rest of the os and data files are also revoked.
So effectively, without a way to decrypt that data, it's effectively random noise.
No idea if Twitter is this secure, but it sounds like they may have been.
The only butt remaining is the people who made copies of data months ago to their local home network while they still had access to the systems. Butt, usually this is monitored and if any employee does heavy scraping of databases the security team is alerts to log and investigate the individual, so if they did make a copy, they will be known about and prosecuted if they release a data dump.
Correct. Android phones also have this function. You can tell your Google account to wipe the device that it's attached to, and on boot it will start its initialization process.
It won't stop all of your data being stolen, but it will make it much more annoying for them if they wanted it. I've never needed to use this function on a functional phone before (I used it when a display died) so I'm not sure if Google initializes intelligently (rewriting data with 0s multiple times to remove any chance for retrieval) but at least it helps drastically reduce your chances of having your data stolen.
I'm not sure I can celebrate this.
As much as I understand that many at Twitter probably were left wing assholes, I'm also sure that a lot of the employees there just wanted to earn money to pay their bills and feed their families.
Workers are not responsible for the actions of management.
Being a casualty of a layoff and currently looking for work, I can sympathize to a point. Mine happened without any warning. Last Friday in June, 14% of my company got laid off. It is very disorienting. On the other hand, the little birdies had PLENTY of warning. I saw one headline earlier where there apparently is a lawsuit forming that the layoffs are illegal and I had a flash of anger. Seriously? It is not at all a secret that CA is an at-will state. Average salary was $146K. You entitled little bitches, grow up.
Even beginner coding pays well, and there are resources for it everywhere to learn from. It's easy for a company to assign you targeted homework for training as well, without having to formulate their own training regimen.
The problem of course is that we know those coders didn't really code so much as meditate on what the word code really meant and how they could convince the public to adopt the new definition.
American multinationals just fail to understand global employment law. Some bubblegum-and-kick-ass HNIC bangs the table and says fire 14% of everybody and his minions shout yessir right away sir.
Probably works fine in US but other countries have laws. In UK you can't just turn off people's computers and tell them they're gone, unless you want to get sued.
If you want to compare the US to "Europe" (which I am not in) then instead of random insults why not try getting a passport and going to other countries to see how things are done. "Differently" is what you will find. Nobody else copies your "at-will" or whatever you like to call it. You can fire people, but you better have a reason which will stand up in court.
"A new owner called Elon who doesn't like your face" will not cut it in the London twitter firings. Of course HR probably knew that and the firees will have been paid off not to sue.
Quite Right. Employment is a contract and therefore falls under contract law. The question to be considered is what does the employment contract state? What authority are you granted, privileges, and role has been accepted? What are the Terms and Conditions of employment. Every contract has this. There's much more and each State has it's own set of statutory laws for employment. The State grants permission to the corporation for doing business in the State.
Under contract law, the employment contract actually overrides Common Law and greatly curtails Constitutional Rights whenever in the company's environment. An employee is not afforded what an ordinary citizen has for rights before its government. A business is actually run under the precepts of Maritime law. It has the same operation structure as on a ship. Any deviation from this depends on the State's laws regarding employment.
If anyone wants to know what Mystery Babylon is, look no further than the corporate state. Explain to me, how corporations dictated vax☠xines to their employees when the corporation are not medically insured nor do they have qualified medical personnel. How did they breach the employment contract that no one signed or agreed to when they were originally hired? What did the Terms and Conditions say regarding this?
I don't believe anyone in UK was ever subject to a "no jab no job" edict. They came pretty close with putting the frighteners on the NHS and care home people but even there they bottled it at last minute.
I would be hesitant to conflate Twitter workers with the common man. Twitter is reported to have around 7,000 employees total. How many of that would be based in the UK? A few hundred, tops?
How hand-selected would these few hundred Twitter workers be? Selected for reasons more than just their software engineering skills (which in reality, was a fraction of Twitter's workforce overall)?
This secretive firing and wiping of computers is more akin to Trump's firing of FBI Director Comey, who learned he was fired from TV and immediately locked out of his Office and papers seized, than it does with say, a factory shutdown via Bain Capital.
Comey's method of dismissal was due to mitigating the damage/purging of incriminating evidence he could inflict. This is not out of line with Elon's insistence that the Twitter codebase be locked for the last 60 days.
I'm not celebrating this because I believe that all of these people were liberals (although they probably all were).
I'm celebrating this because it's a shift in how technology companies may be ran going forward.
Big tech companies now are full of bloat. The reason for this is simple: it is impossible to objectively rank a person's coding ability. Once a company gets big enough, managers lose the ability to hire and fire based on how they feel about a person, even if their feelings are "he is a bad programmer." They start to have to prove things; and this is incredibly difficult. Moreover, as a company gets bigger, the managerial roles stop being filled by actual engineers, and start being filled by career managers.
Have you ever been using a product from a big tech company and encountered an egregious glitch or bug and thought "god damn, how does a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees push an update with a bug this enormous and obvious"? This is why.
This is why shit doesn't work. This is why software is constantly getting slower and slower, even when you account for new features that take more processing power. This is why it's the norm nowadays for a major app on your phone to occasionally crash or break, or for your phone to overheat due to a memory leak in one of your apps.
I am confident that all of Twitter could be ran better than currently by a team of less than 10 actually effective people working typical 40 hour work weeks. That's everything on the tech side, from server management to new product development. Sure, marketing, legal, and sales are all needed departments, too, but how the hell do you need 7500 employees to run this basic company?
You don't. And having so many people only makes the company worse.
That’s actually pretty cool. Computer wiped sitting in your house. I mean it sucks for the workers or those that are job wiped with it. But yea, kinda cool.
love it
Buh-bye! waves frantically
I find it HILARIOUS that an account named Catturd is more reliable than MSM
lol, in my 73 years, so far, on earth, NEVER have i ever thought i would be saying "i love me some catturd"...and yet here i am...lmao
Yeah, gross.
But one of the good ones.
I guess you can polish a turd.
u/#catdance
You know MSM hates it too...
At least catturd still has a twitter account.
I think that's his Truth Social account.

they knew that their jobs were on the line months ago... this caught NOBODY by surprise.
Roger that. Work for a rat shit company. Die like a rat when the cat shows up.
That cat is grinning ear to ear, getting fat and turning blue from eating too many canaries.
Re-Organizing a company always has casualties with real consequences for workers. Its a business reality, not liberal or consrervitive.
While true that does not fully apply to what Elon's doin' over at twit.
He's cleaning house and I hope you know that.
Yes thats what we call it at the conference table, cleaning house.
You know they'll find some way to blame Trump.
They could learn to coal mine.
If Twitter isn't a government op I have no idea how they are worth 44 Billion dollars. Where does their revenue come from? Advertisements? Who doesn't run an add blocker? It doesn't make any sense. It has to be dirty money.
Did they all keep their laptops on overnight, or did the wiping begin when they turned on?
Exactly. Finally someone with logic.

See my other comment below this one, I answered this for you.

$146k a year?
Looks like I've been in the wrong profession all my life :)

So does the US, you eurocentric twit.

At will employment makes most of everything moot. Especially since I'm pretty sure they got a severance which also eases any legal issues.
I don't believe anyone in UK was ever subject to a "no jab no job" edict. They came pretty close with putting the frighteners on the NHS and care home people but even there they bottled it at last minute.
$146k is only base salary in california.. the total comp was $250k
Just following orders is not an excuse.
gotta feed those baby brit bots!
what would you be prepared to do in order to provide for your family or is that a responsibility you've never had?
I would be hesitant to conflate Twitter workers with the common man. Twitter is reported to have around 7,000 employees total. How many of that would be based in the UK? A few hundred, tops?

I would be willing to hang birds by the neck until they rot then feed it to the family with a side of blood pudding. Prolly just unplug the bots.
Get a job for one thing.
Ok?
They should have easily seen this coming, had their job skills up to date, and resumes out.

They've been burned like in a spy movie.
Beautiful
We don’t know who has been fired.
Let’s f**k around and find out.
🥰🥰🥰 HAPPY MOMENTS
My heart fills with the joy of some justice finally being administered.
I gets down about the news sometimes then I see this to make me laugh.
Same here. That’s why I have been posting more catturd and Babylon bee. I need more laughs and less stress/anger.
That’s actually pretty cool. Computer wiped sitting in your house. I mean it sucks for the workers or those that are job wiped with it. But yea, kinda cool.
8pm Pacific Time.
I'm all for commies being fired, but they can at least be fired when they're awake and cognizant.
Like having your twits cut?
Oh, that didn't count?
