Here's the catch, those 75% that didn't respond and are therefore leaving didn't do shit anyways. The 25% that did respond are the ones carrying the load anyways so there's really no change except a shit ton of freeloaders are out at Twitter.
So he's down to about 1000 employees which I'd make a gentleman's bet is more than enough to do the job.
Exactly. He is gonna be saving so much money due to this, and Twitter is going to keep functioning. He could literally double the exorbitant salaries of everyone who remains and probably still be profitting by this mass layoff. Not to mention his proposed Twitter 2.0 ideas for improvement...
I like his recent actions, but I still don't believe he's actually on our side
He doesn't have to be on our side directly. If he stays chaotically neutral and has a platform for both sides to shout their ideas at each other it's already way better than before.
Pretend for a few minutes that you have been with Twitter for a few years. Average salary is around $250k, plus stock options
Elon bought your options at a substantial profit
Exactly how motivated are you going to be, say if you have $1-5 Million in your savings? Would 50 hour work weeks seem like something you could take a pass on?
Agreed. But with Elon in charge, it's mandatory 40 hours a week. You can think about teleworking, if your supervisor approves, and you have done your 40 already.
To paraphrase Elon "If you want to telework full time; I suggest you PRETEND to work somewhere else." Poor little Millennials are beginning to learn that there are consequences to life, and that work isn't a day spa.

Gotta love it when the trash takes itself out.
The usual 80-20ish rule.
Bingo

Why would you need 3,000 to 5,000 people anyway for twitter? Engineers I understand, but what were the other roles??
Empire building within Twatter management, mostly.
For managers, power and prestige are determined by the number of people that are directly and indirectly reporting to them.
This gives them a strong incentive to inflate their head counts...
EM's moves are a brilliant way to drastically thin the herd while keeping the people that are essential to the company.
Takes a lot of eyes to do censorship.

50 hour work week. Nobody in Twitter worked a 50 hour week ever. Not unless they spent 30 hours of that in the resting pods and coffee shop.

Plus, they quit there for they can't claim unemployment.....
