    Yes, I would have loved that when I was younger.

    The key is that Mr. Musk must follow through and compensate those who earn it.

    There is nothing to follow through. Musk has not promise any compensation to be earned.

      At no point in my career would I have reacted to that in a positive way.

      Massively rich d-bag asks me to give up my private life so he can make even more obscene amounts money in the hope of a yet-to-be-specified reward of some sort?

      How does 'fuck off, Elon' grab you?

      I was only joking

        Elon's management approach looks rather heavy-handed.

        He is pissing off even those employees who support his general course of action.

          Compensation takes many forms

          And whether he promises it doesn't matter.

          He must deliver it.

              OK, if you were the owner of a business whose employees said this type of stuff about you, why would you even think about keeping them on?

              Their thoughts may or may not be justified, and they may or may not be right.

              But, if it were my business, I'd think long and hard whether their worth to the business justifies keeping them on after this kind of stuff.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  It's unclear whether they are or not.

                  However, more to my point, there have been tons of Twitter employees shit-talking about Elon.

                      I fail to see the problem with taking the internet's nastiest dumpster and setting it on fire to sanitize it some.

                                You know, I always said Twitter is a fad. Maybe I accidentally was correct? Sounds like 88-90% of Twitter employees have quit. Buildings closed. Let’s hope no IT systems need to be restarted in the meantime.
