"Some of those who are being asked to return were laid off by mistake. Others were let go before management realized that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features Musk envisions, the report said citing people familiar with the moves."
That second sentence, those employees, should tell Musk and Twitter to go f-themselves. To be thrown away because the child billionaire paid too much and has to cut costs asap and then asked to come back because there's a knowledge or skills gap thwarting the pushing of new features is Twitter's problem not that of the employees fired/laid-off.

- jbverschoor 4y agoMr Musk "will oversee software development" as per Exhibit H. So I hope he'll have time to plough through all the code. I wonder if he'll be on pagerduty
- gigatexal 4y agohaha yup, he probably is thinking: "I can land rockets on a platform in the ocean, how hard is running a social network?"
- cloutchaser 4y ago> I wonder if he'll be on pagerduty Considering he's the world's richest man and he's literally replying to customer feedback about the product on the product, yes, he probably is on pagerduty.
- xdavidliu 4y agoit's not duty if you can stop doing it whenever you want and not get fired
- harel 4y agoI'd argue former employees from either group should not return - mistake or necessity. This culture is just wrong. It's nothing short of bullying.

- piva00 4y agoI'd argue they should, while extracting as much money as possible while delivering the bare of the barest minimums. Looking for another job at the same time. Any sense of loyalty was shattered by the abuse of power, the org knows that and won't be treating these re-hires as usual, the org will be forever suspicious so give them every reason to be suspicious while being legal. They done fucked.
- harel 4y agoThat works as well. Anything that shifts the balance of power in their favour is fine, whatever that may be per circumstance. There is something deeper here than just a mass layoff. I think it's something that starts with making Steve Jobs style "tantrums" acceptable followed by normalising bullying in workplaces all the way through "oh he's a genius billionaire - he MUST know what he's doing". Having money and past success does not mean you get a free pass at anything. If we keep accepting it, it will be ever more normalised.
