    Elon's management approach looks rather heavy-handed.

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

      @Copper said in Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter:

      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.

      Compensation takes many forms

      And whether he promises it doesn't matter.

      He must deliver it.

        Kind of funny.

          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.

            Are they twitter employees? I didn't pick up on that.

              It's unclear whether they are or not.

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

                      Didn’t you say it wasn’t actually that bad a couple of months ago?

                      I was only joking

                          My own corner of it isn't that bad.

                            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.
