Elon Musk Issues Ultimatum

[blackhawk]

Is he paying them for the extra hours?

Is it not law that you as an employer are required to employees for overtime?

Unless they are on salary, then no.

Unless they are on salary, then no.

Then that answers the question if you are paid hourly you get paid for the extra hours if you are on salary you don’t that is one of the risk you take going with salary over hourly pay.

Wow he is treating Twitter like a business and expecting employess to actually work hard what a concept.

Thread.

Most people on Salary have opportunities for bonuses for meeting certain goals or performing well.

It depends....if they are hourly he is required by law to pay them overtime. Do you have evidence he is breaking the law? Why would you assume he is violating it?

I asked a question, I did not make any assumption at all.

He is like a child with ADD.

Last week he was talking about turning Twitter into a financial company complete with debit cards and high yield money market accounts.

This week he sees Twitter as a "a software and servers company."

Seems he wants Twitter to be everything except what it is.

He is an innovator, trying to figure out the best way to fix the company after the Demafascist propagandist ran it in the ground and chased on advertisers.

Facebook really needs someone like Musk to come in now too...that or in someways Mark looks to be following suit with massive layoffs already

Silly question then...odd really...if you didn't think he was in violation of the law

Few managers (successful managers anyway) remind you of that via a mass e-mail.

its perfect for this scenario,, a bunch of low life little bitchs need to be kicked in the ass from time to time,,

Doubtful.

Twitter will be there but, if you look at what sustains these companies is a mix of public buy-in as well as ROI. Public buy-in is the biggest component. If Doha-Kat or whatever her name is doesn't tweet, nobody logs on to Twitter to see what she is saying to her followers. No eye-balls; no advertising....no income.

Now, Facebook for a great example, became a must have in some circles because they offered something nobody else had...this virtual community to where you could share your experiences with people whom you already communicate; turning every move you make into a potential teleconference complete with original content, sourced media, etc... Before FB, YouTube was an innovator in that space except for the shared experiences....you could broadcast audio, video, third party media, etc... Then....boom.....TikTok supplanted them...so now Facebook has Reels through it's subsidiary Instagram to compete with TikTok. This is what a workplace does; they have the intellectual bandwidth to adapt to a changing marketplace.

Does Musk really think that these engineers who are looking to jump ship are chomping at the bit to work for a guy who just fired 1/2 of the staff of a social media giant? I grant that there is a strong mercenary culture in Silicon Valley but, unlike the mercenaries who read Soldier of Fortune, these folks can see the big picture.

Twitter will be around but to continue to get the buy-in; you have to offer something that is at least a few degrees outside of what everyone else is offering (which is why you see a new menu item launched every other week from McDonalds and whatnot). Its difficult to get the buy-in when you don't have the content and even harder still when your just fired your innovators.

I disagree, Musk will kill Twitter dead, then use the technology in a new platform tied directly the Starlink, being both the internet service provider for millions of people, along with the provider of a social media platform using the same tech as Twitter without the woke nonsense that doesn't appeal to many across the globe. The big picture isn't just the West, it's global.

The Metaverse is a farce, a failed pipe dream that simply cannot deliver what's promised because the technology isn't there and the vast majority of Meta/Facebook users cannot afford the VR equipment necessary to even access the Metaverse.

Conservative bloodlust at it's finest.

Geez...13 million? No wonder that company was in such disarray

 

[struth]

Better to work for a company that will be around and not run by a maniac.


And if they go somewhere else, bye bye Twitter.

saving 13 million will help keep the company around.

Elon Musk gives Twitter employees an ultimatum: Stay or go by tomorrow

Twitter CEO Elon Musk tells workers they must decide to stay with the company and be prepared to work long, intense hours, or leave with three month's severance pay.

I believe this may be interchangeable with an obituary that will someday be written. It is not as if Twitter will go away...Mysapce.com is still around too. But you're not going to get optimum performance from people you threaten.

Nothing boosts morale and productivity like blaming employees for your own incompetence.

 

[my2¢]

theres always someone else to do the job,,

Yes, but once a workplace gains a crappy reputation, those new folks being brought in are the bottom of the barrel.

Musk runs a lot of companies. He knows what he's doing. The twits, not so much. They will be replaced.

unless theyre not,, in a case like this most people are brought in as managment to change what caused the downfall,,

Every tech worker in the world wants to work for a Musk company. Except perhaps for the woke. But they need to go anyway.
