It's "Twitter Freedom Friday!"

So Ellon Musk fired ++ employees, IT workers included.
Zuckenberg and other mega-mammouths also fired personel ++ following the pandemic.

Where does that leave the IT sector?

I read that Sillicon Valley is full of IT workers who can't get jobs. And an American friend told me that they have ++ competition from cheap labor from India -- the guys get online degrees via coursera, but are restricted by visas
-----On the opposite side of the spectrum, given their current national shortage, Australia and New Zealand encourage their young to undertake expensive IT degrees.
Those AU/NZ govt. advisors should be sued. Seriously, they're misleading their young -- soon to be replaced by redundant workers from India and US

The deal with IT and software in particular is that it is the only industry where the amount of work grows exponentially, as a direct result from the work done, with another multiplier factor for badly done job (real good engineers contribute negative number of lines of code to the projects nowadays).

Then: look out for the crypto collapse... it's so many good things happening all at once.

aaah... explains Australia's stance then

LOL. A horrendous amount of code is written by freaks decided to pretended to be coders last week, or so it may seem. But really, most of it is tremendously mundane.

And as legend has it, Musk fired bottom half ranked by lines of code contributed during last year... lol.

Letting that "Sink In" was just the beginning.

Fist comes the "Code Walk Through", damn I'd like to be in on that. Followed by pink slips for 75-80% of the employees. Hell, if it were me I'd re-incorporate in TX, or FL. Maybe that's next.

And the employees wrote and open letter to Musk and then punctuated it with demands. Apparently they think they're still in charge. They should probably have been better off listing to some old Bob Dylan "cause a hard rain's gonna fall."

You can always tell when you're dealing with the delusional in that they demand respect. Never seems to occur to them that respect is earned.

This thread isn't aging well.

I guess Elon isn't the genius you thought he was.

It's really wonderful how it played out. The OP was trying to be clever with that "Sink in" crap that Elon pulled unknowing what "sink" really meant.

From what I've read, Musk is doing what he said he'd do, which is consistent with the way he other successful companes are run.

I think Chobham has been spot-on so far.

If you'd like to be accurate for a change, the long-forgotten Butters thread about Musk & Twitter is the one that hasn't aged well.
 
If Elon knew what he was doing, he wouldn't be begging employees he fired to come back or syphoning Tesla employees who are trained in a totally different code to bail out Twitter.

Facts suck when you're on the wrong side of them.
 
Vacating experienced departments without any sort of proper transition is no way to run a software company, from a technical perspective. You don't remove experience and knowledge without backfilling properly and expect the quality of your product to maintain.

That being said, from the perspective of making money, many CEOs gut companies all the time and walk away with a much fatter wallet.

So it depends on what your goal is, I'd say

Maybe you should Tweet your opinions.

Musk probably needs some of your 47 year old midwestern runner's perspective to become your version of successful.

I can see you've never worked the front line of IT support before nor any type of quality control role nor any type of disaster recovery role nor any type of security role.....etc...etc

Being experienced in many of those areas would make you look at Musk's actions and cringe, and certainly would give you some empathy for anyone still left at that company

Sidenote: you'd be stupid to setup any new credit card info with them at this time.
