@ChiefScientist @TwitterEng @marius @markog @sasa @posco @Jayholler This isn’t just Elon fucking things up. If all it was was incompetence then sure, why not try and save Twitter?
@ChiefScientist @TwitterEng @marius @markog @sasa @posco @Jayholler But this is more Elon (and Sacks, Calcanis, et al.) trying to reset the relationship between labor and the owners of capital in tech.
@ChiefScientist @TwitterEng @marius @markog @sasa @posco @Jayholler Prove via Elon Twitter that knowledge workers or "the laptop class" are fungible, inefficient commodities then…
@ChiefScientist @TwitterEng @marius @markog @sasa @posco @Jayholler …you can squeeze them to *way* cheaper salaries and throw away all the "amenities": ERGs, family care, benefits, profit-sharing.
@ChiefScientist @TwitterEng @marius @markog @sasa @posco @Jayholler So a. union? Sure. Labor should leverage the shit out this situation. But helping keep the lights to help the Elon model succeed…
@ChiefScientist @TwitterEng @marius @markog @sasa @posco @Jayholler …isn’t in any engineer’s or manager’s self interest.
