That's fantastic!

Wonder how many Twits drive one of his electric cars? Y’know, virtue signals and all

It seems like satire but "real" news outlets are reporting that Twitter employees have issued a demand letter:

Quote:Staff, Elon Musk, and Board of Directors:

We, the undersigned Twitter workers, believe the public conversation is in jeopardy.

Elon Musk’s plan to lay off 75% of Twitter workers will hurt Twitter’s ability to serve the public conversation. A threat of this magnitude is reckless, undermines our users’ and customers’ trust in our platform, and is a transparent act of worker intimidation.

Twitter has significant effects on societies and communities across the globe. As we speak, Twitter is helping to uplift independent journalism in Ukraine and Iran, as well as powering social movements around the world.

A threat to workers at Twitter is a threat to Twitter’s future. These threats have an impact on us as workers and demonstrate a fundamental disconnect with the realities of operating Twitter. They threaten our livelihoods, access to essential healthcare, and the ability for visa holders to stay in the country they work in. We cannot do our work in an environment of constant harassment and threats. Without our work, there is no Twitter.

We, the workers at Twitter, will not be intimidated. We recommit to supporting the communities, organizations, and businesses who rely on Twitter. We will not stop serving the public conversation.

We call on Twitter management and Elon Musk to cease these negligent layoff threats. As workers, we deserve concrete commitments so we can continue to preserve the integrity of our platform.

We demand of current and future leadership:

Respect: We demand leadership to respect the platform and the workers who maintain it by committing to preserving the current headcount.

Safety: We demand that leadership does not discriminate against workers on the basis of their race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs. We also demand safety for workers on visas, who will be forced to leave the country they work in if they are laid off.

Protection: We demand Elon Musk explicitly commit to preserve our benefits, those both listed in the merger agreement and not (e.g. remote work). We demand leadership to establish and ensure fair severance policies for all workers before and after any change in ownership.

Dignity: We demand transparent, prompt and thoughtful communication around our working conditions. We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires.

Sincerely,

Twitter workers

I mean, that's all very cool and organized and stuff, but exactly what are the consequences of Elon NOT acceding to your demands? Do not fire 75% of the workforce, or else...?

This letter isnt satire. Someone broke it a few days ago.

There are some on here that wanted to argue with me, saying that Musk couldnt fire 75% of the workforce because they need that many people to run the platform. Laughable. Their "letter" proves most of them are dead weight.

lulz

Party's over kiddies. Kiss goodbye to your cushy jobs.

Now if you would have just been fair and not took it upon yourself to decide what everyone should think... Elon Musk probably would not have given you a second look.

Dude can shut Twitter down for all I care. In the grand scheme of truly important things in the world, Twitter isn't in the top 10,000.

Dear employees.... I can fire you for cause instead of just laying you off - enjoy collecting unemployment after I do that.

75%, probably the fact checkers.

He should have had a red stapler delivered to every employee when he arrived.

I have no idea either way, but when you demand that someone not fire you, how exactly do you back that up? Maybe you DO pull a Milton... keep going to work for no pay... then burn the whole place down.

Could a person read that letter with even a bare minimum of critical thinking and still click send?

Snowflakes are not logical.

I'd love to see the data Elon has for 75%. Makes me think you could go after the old board since they were publicly traded

The ones complaining the loudest don't want to go back into the office for work.
