It feels like remote work is a distraction here.. it's more like Musk realizes he bought a company that was in a lot more trouble than anyone out in the public can understand and he's scrambling for anything.
Everyone is all worried about what this means for remote work at other companies when it might not mean anything at all since the other companies don't have the same circumstances as Twitter.
Also we're all defensive cause we're attached to remote work.
- cragfar 4y agoIt's weird how people are trying to divine his actions. He's been against remote work at every point. He tried to keep the Tesla offices open when the Covid Lockdowns were starting.
- bmitc 4y agoI think he's been pretty against anything that doesn't treat workers as automatons.
- bink 4y ago> it's more like Musk realizes he bought a company that was in a lot more trouble than anyone out in the public can understand Or he bought a company and by doing so placed it in a lot more trouble than it was previously.
- ben7799 4y agoThis seems to be the popular view, everyone has been irrationally cheering for Twitter for 10+ years now but it ignores twitter's long term financial results as we head into an economic contraction. That's the whole thing.. Musk made his stupid public decision to buy Twitter before the economic winds shifted. By the time it closed things had changed. He harmed Twitter by the way the whole thing dragged out, but Twitter was damaged goods anyway and has become more damaged by the economic winds in addition to Musk. Twitter was betting the farm that investors would continue to ignore the bottom line and money would continue to be easy and valuations would continue to be decoupled from results.
