Elon Musk

Sad thing is a lot of fcukwits will think heā€™s cool and edgey for doing it ā€¦ a real go getter ā€¦ itā€™s a dick of a move ā€¦ fair enough if he believes he doesnā€™t need them but thereā€™s a correct way to go through the process when making people redundantā€¦

Spare a thought for the businesses and workers that were hammered by pointless lockdowns and which face a recessionā€¦

Itā€™s a message rather than thought through.

It doesnā€™t make sense to do it the way he has outside of the US, itā€™s going to cost them money needlessly but itā€™s all in the grand scheme of $44bn I guess.

Tbf what tech really needs is a 5%-10% cut across the board and a degree of rationalisation. Most of these jobs will be back in 12 monthsā€¦though of course it could be in India.

Iā€™m not sure what a Key Sales account manager has to do with the culture wars tbf.

No issue with lambasting C Suite execs who get their money and run.

  • Musk is a cunt and sacks a load of employees.

  • Yeah but covid and lockdowns

They wonā€™t really. Iā€™m sure Twitter will just pay the statutory redundancy. Anyone there less than two years (which is a lot Iā€™d say) wonā€™t get anything and most wouldnā€™t have been there long enough to get a big payout.

The row will be about whether they are genuine redundancies. A decision made on the whim of a billionaire in a couple of days wouldnā€™t strike me as a robust redundancy process.

Which lads?

of course, musk could fold the twitter tent in ireland if he feels that its necessary.

id say a lot of the people let go today would be feverishly going through their twitter accounts to make sure theyve deleted stuff that couldve gotten them fired

I didnā€™t see anyone cheerleading redundancies ā€¦we were just having a chuckle at this blue tick melodrama.
It is amusing to see your faux concern though

Why ā€˜the usual suspectsā€™ silly

If they ainā€™t got the two years They could try run an unfair dismissal case ā€¦

On the positive side of the ledger it will free up 250 rental units in central Dublin.

Yours for a snip at 3 grand a monthā€¦ with 2 months deposit and first month up front

Has she brought any bus loads of journalists to the Mexican border recently? Sheā€™s gone a bit quiet on that front of late. Strange.

Law of supply and demand would suggest that with tech layoffs rents will fall.

Think you might be underestimating demandā€¦ plenty of people still looking for somewhere to live.

Loads about to hit the market.
