Elon Musk is sticking to the Roman definition of decimation
- cyberferret 8y agoI didn't want to like this, but all respect to you for the etymological accuracy and black humour here.
- mc32 8y agoIn percentage yes, but not in the manner of choosing the affected. Or at least one would hope it’s not every tenth person regardless of role, contribution, etc.
- SEJeff 8y agoThe roman definition involved beating 1 in 10 to death by the "coworkers", so no, I don't think 8 weeks of severance and helping them write resumes plus get new jobs elsewhere is a very good definition of decimation.
