Why would anyone want to work under those conditions? The money is so not worth it.

[SayWhatYouNeedTSay]

I would take the severance and get out of there ASAP.

Treating employees like they are indispensable & just numbers on a spreadsheet is a great boost for morale

[Kylelongwest]

Don't quit, let him fire you. You get more compensation

Most people leave their jobs over bad management and bad managers. It’s not always about the money, it’s about what you can live with or live without. Kissing the ring is not always the answer.

I work for a Pharmaceutical company based in PA. Their attitude to their staff is diametrically opposite to this man's. You cannot expect a company to perform unless the staff have high morale and feel valued by the company. I once admired Elon Musk, no longer. He will learn that wealth does not correlate with genuine respect.

Seems like Twitter doomed because of him.

I hope twitter goes bankrupt and Elon can play with a skeleton of a company by himself.

[Lopezitation]

How funny would be if most of the employees leave hahahahaha, I kinda want to see Elon lose all that money he put in

[runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Pfft he's just gonna start firing people that won't have anyone left that works for Twitter. What a joke..

[massimo]

Demanding that employees show up at work is obscene.

I've worked at HP, IBM, and SONY among other tech companies. It appears to me that this clown just lost $50 billion dollars. Four more times and he'll be out on the street, while the former Twitter employees will be happily working from home for the company that replaces Twitter.

Wow!! I have an old owner of the Corporation that could take a lesson from this young guy!! Let’s see how this plays out!!! Not many employees of this day and age are gonna be willing to work harder to take home the same paycheck………more hours same pay?? Can’t wait to see how many actually take their severance pay and 🏃‍♂️

[RH-lguc]

This seems like a scene from Atlas Shrugged.

[Bludmon]

So no Mud Bath Thursdays, Mimosa Mondays, or Ping Pong Fridays? Twitter employees actually have to work!? Whatever will we do!? So dramatic!🙄

[Fawn]

At least he is letting the employee decide.

[iwantabiscuitplz]

Getting rid of employees for being vocally critical of you?! Sounds like a dictator-style leader

[j.madelozo]

This'll create jobs for competent and hardworking people. Nice.

[TheWorldsStage]

Take the money and run! He's single handling destroying the entire platform.

Say what you want about twitter but it is one of the biggest social media platforms and thus has some pretty qualified employees. Those people know their worth. Pretty sure they have lots of other great job offers.
