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

My own corner of it isn't that bad.

This is the Tesla saga writ large and now paid attention to by the whole culture. These same feelings of watching a man and his company self destruct through incomprehensible CEO antics, were a thing for years before Tesla skyrocketed a couple years ago.

It’s very different between having employees with large chunks of pre-IPO stock options and having employees with token amounts options of a publicly traded stock. Trying to run the latter like the former is unlikely to work out.

That entire groups of employees are justified by hand wavy claims of business impact filtered up through increasingly detached managers. Basically entire groups of employees exist and are paid based on the promise that they matter, made by someone who people trust, but whose fundamental interest is to increase the head count under him.
