Maybe we need to be more mature.
Twitter was very clearly bloated. Laying off the bloat is pretty much status quo for major acquisitions. There is nothing unusual here.
Are any of the other major tech companies laying off huge percentages of their workforce also "jackasses"???
- woodruffw 4y agoIt’s not “very clear” to this outsider that Twitter was bloated, not that the firings adhere to any particular “debloating” rationale. Edit: The approach Musk has taken to layoffs also does not evoke maturity.

- woodruffw 4y agoThis is a silly response: I’m a private individual with opinions, not a financial stakeholder. To be as clear as possible: firing over 3000 people with no forward notice and reduced severance is immature. That should be manifest.
- Alupis 4y ago> That should be manifest. Except you're demanding something that was never owed to anyone. > I’m a private individual with options Good, so why are we caring about who works for Musk or not? This is silly indeed.
