I reiterate: fuck you if you support or are neutral towards Musk. This is a WILDLY unsurprising outcome, and your lack of care for his hate speech around trans identity in the past has enabled this.

every time musk fires a twitter engineer for calling out his bs, the general response is "sad, but you shouldn't call out your boss in public". why? why is it assumed that people in power can say or do whatever tf they want without even being called out for it. serf mentality

If we're sharing our favorite tweets in case the twitter ship goes down, this is up there. It's not quite to the level of "look it up, baby" but it's as close as I'll ever get!

i feel bad because people are asking for my reply to things, but ever since getting laid off i've been extremely lethargic and sluggish, to a point i cant stay focused. if it wasnt for certain things in my life I definitely would be experiencing a full blown depressive episode.

James Turnbull (@kartar)Tue, 15 Nov 2022 18:01 GMT

Three senior+ software engineers working at Twitter quote tweeted the below, pointing out how it doesn’t make sense. All three fired the same day, one done in public. Criticising your boss in public always has negative consequences, though this response was unusually strong.

I know everyone’s watching Twitter’s various features & systems fall apart. It’s clear that the wheels are falling off. But a quick reminder that you also need to keep an eye on what’s happening in the European regulatory space. In short, Twitter’s in BIG, BIG trouble. 1/

My twitter account was protected at the time, so I can only assume this was for not showing 100% loyalty in slack. I’ve heard the same thing has happened to many others now.

Criticizing in private also ended up in pretty much instant firing. So...

For those saying that criticizing should be done in private: I have reports for a number of employees similarly terminated the past 24 hours who were criticizing Musk's tweet on an internal Slack watercooler channel. Some criticized other eng leaders. ~10 people, as I hear.

because his boss is an asshole who publicly threw his employees under the bus by tweeting erroneous information about their work. I, as a leader, am not a coward who throws my ppl under the bus and then gets butt hurt when they defend their work by correcting me.

At better tech companies, meritocracy is a given, including pointing out incorrect arguments your boss made *with facts*. And yes, I’ve seen this happen in public enough settings (eg all hands). A leader wanting to have a culture of meritocracy would handle this different.
