Elon Musk

I was talking about clerys but Debenham is another example. Twitter held to andifferent standard because its not actually liquidating

@Batigol

I’ve no idea regarding the reasonable selection. I’d imagine the definition of “reasonable” would be key there

@Batigol

@Fagan_ODowd

You haven’t a clue what you are on about laddie so you might stop talking shite now

You might point out the laws he’s broken so and clear it up

Research it yourself laddie. I’m not going to spend the day educating somebody who could come out with trip like this.

@estebandaface

Oooh you’re hard.

Go on spending the rest of the day posting about what you imagine employment law is.

[Thomas_Brady]

Go away outta that. Ive a gang of bully boys making fun of me on the internet all morning. It’s very hurtful.

[estebandaface]

How will people show their solidarity for twitter employees while posting on twitter ? A twitter flag ? 2 bucks a month

Three days is a long time on the internet… I hope @Bod95 and @Tim_Riggins are happy

The Celtic Phoenix - A thread to list the economic miracles of Michael Noonan & Fine Gael

We’re essentially hanging by the balls in the hands of a few multinationals. The figures are great to see of course but they’ve been decades in the making and Brexit has helped… But what is Pascal and co doing to grow local small/medium business economies? It’s like we’ve learned nothing from the last crash where we built our foundations on a housing market and all the jobs that go with it… What happens if a few multinationals pull out or run their profits through a different country? I hope it…

Why does the fact that people don’t like the tiny tiny minority of middle class left wing ultra woke people mean they now have to support or at the very least not criticise a fella like musk acting like an absolute cunt and sacking thousands of people on a whim?
Does that not seem a bit crazy that disliking those preachy people (the type of which I don’t ever think I’ve met in real life) influences your politics and worldview that much that you’d support almost anything to be on the opposite side to ‘them’?

That’s the way it’s gone now with the pretend edgy types on here.

[estebandaface]

Who’s supporting him?

All redundancies are shit, including the stripe ones. Im sure the 1k or so stripe employees feel the selection was done on a whim

I’ve been through it myself. Worked for a major multinational for the bones of 15 years. Loved the place. Dell bought it and let go of my whole department 2 weeks before Christmas. No notice. Put on “gardening leave” etc.

[estebandaface]

If it turns out he has broken the law I’ll criticise him. The full facts aren’t known.

[estebandaface]

Are you done now?

The hand wringing, earnest concern for twitter employees from the usual suspects is gas. I could guarantee you @backinatracksuit @Arthur @Fagan_ODowd @Gman would be cracking jokes and giving it the ‘good enough for em’ if a perceived ‘right wing’ company or publication trimmed a % of their staff. If gript.ie, the telegraph, whomever they identify as the ‘bad guys’, lost their jobs it’d be a different tone. They’ll deny it as it’s inconvenient at this point in time but you know it’s the case. Elon Musk being a billionaire is completely irrelevant- who do you think owns most plcs - extremely wealthy funds and individuals, it’s a complete red herring.

This is the future and why MNCs came here in first place … weak Union membership …the one place that stuck it to them over the years is Waterford and the reason it can’t attract much new bidness and employment …

[LionelRitchie]

@backinatracksuit

this thread is laughing at people losing their jobs

Haven’t seen that tbh. Not sure anyone’s response to redundancy has been to laugh at workers made unemployed?

[Enrique]

That’s about number 78 on the list of why mncs came here. Surely you don’t think that?

Anyway, tech staff, finance staff, any tech adjacent resources basically for the past 5 years, have been overhired and received benefits and salaries not communserate with their skills, output and scarcity. Easy money is not sloshing around the system anymore and there will be cuttbacks everywhere- that’s where we are in the economic cycle. Tech is the frontline causality. Look at Amazon and Meta’s latest earnings report, forecast and share price. But but but Elon’s the bad guy sing the simpletons song

[Tassotti]

Great to see you got something out of the course Mike

[glenshane]

Maybe elon could boost the profits by letting Jordan Peterson and trump back on twitter…then there’d be no more redundancies.
What do we think lads?

Apparently It was actually one of the first guarantees they looked for back in the day …
