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.
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.

So does the US, you eurocentric twit.
