China Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 So Musk wants people to work in the office and not from home but then closes the office? Twitter ‘closes offices’ after Elon Musk’s loyalty oath sparks wave of resignations Hundreds of Twitter employees refused on Thursday to sign a pledge to work “long hours at high intensity”, threatening the site’s ability to keep operating and prompting hurried debates among managers over who should be asked to return, current and former employees said. The crisis came in response to an ultimatum the site’s new owner, Elon Musk, issued Wednesday demanding that employees sign a pledge to work harder by 5pm eastern time Thursday or accept three months’ severance pay, several media outlets reported.

Corcaigh Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Apparently in desperation to help with retention he sent out a mass email saying work from home was OK if your manager confirmed you were going excellent work. And then 20 minutes later he burned that attempt by saying if any manager is not truthful about how productive you are working from home then they will be fired too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 What I understand they expect the real issues to start with the World Cup. From what I've read it uses massive amounts of the servers and typically they have to use backup servers. I don't use twitter, but I am enjoying watching this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a little while for that to happen most likely, as I'm guessing they're well designed with plenty of redundancy. The problem is that when it does happen, there will literally be nobody to fix it. It also means that there's likely nobody to manage regular patching, etc. which means potential new bugs and security vulnerabilities in the stack won't be addressed.

The Evil Genius Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'd suspect 20-30% of the normal dev workforce can still keep it afloat for a few weeks. But Elon is 1000000% responsible for killing Twitter. And much smarter people than me are saying it's dead man walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People occasionally poked fun at him on Twitter, and that cannot be allowed to stand unchecked. $44 billion is a small price to pay to force people to make fun of him on Reddit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) I think 20-30 percent of the developers working could keep the front-facing part of Twitter open for a long time. However, keeping the server response times efficient, ensuring resiliency from dos attacks and other hacking attempts, ensuring the same user experience across all platforms, ect will immediately suffer. I expect quite a few politicians unsavory DMs to be be released over the coming few months. Edited November 18, 2022 by CousinsCowgirl84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
