Elsewhere in this thread, people are discussing a potentially-credible (but maybe you disagree) report on this from Gergely Orosz that does not paint this as "only the 3 senior executives". https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1587042365084209153?s=21 https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1587042365084209153?... > I talked with an engineering manager who was at Twitter for 5+ years, and got laid off on Sunday "for cause". They were too exhausted from working over the weekend to talk longer: they first need to sleep.

  The majority of work done by white collar people is not wildly valuable either from a cynical point of view (or realistic/truthful if you feel that way pov)

  There are plenty of people who have the skills to provide value to an organization, and just want a safe/reliable payment to provide for their families in return. Its still a sad occasion to see them fired for no/little reason.

I don't understand why so many people celebrate when Elon treats his underlings like trash. Is it because people hate Twitter and think if you work there you deserve this? Is it because they want to have Elon's level of power and fame where the rules don't apply to them? Something else?

  Imagine if this was Ellison, HN would be going bonkers. Now that it is musk, lot of comments saying it is fine and dandy.

  Because the aggrieved aren’t satisfied only by Elon taking over twitter and taking it in a different direction, they also believe that those currently at twitter deserve harsh punishment for whatever role they had in twitter.

  The cruelty is the point with authoritarians. Also one perennial observation with authoritarian-friendly people is that in their dog-eat-dog fantasy they are the badass warlord sitting atop a pile of bones rather than the nameless goon that lies at the bottom of the bonepile.

  Probably the same reason people watch drama TV and soaps. It's entertainment
