You are assuming that he is optimizing for employee happiness. I am not associating a value judgement to whether that is the right/wrong move in Twitter's context.
I wish that we, as a culture, stopped harping over what Elon Musk might do to Twitter next.
It does not matter. This will take some time to play out. I hope Twitter employees land on their feet. That is pretty much the only thing that matters. I don't have a lot of reasons to think that they won't barring some exceptions.
- ok_dad 4y agoActual happiness was not the point. In the Navy, the CO doesn't have to care about employee happiness, anyways, while Musk sort of does. 'Happiness' was a rhetorical device I used there.
- samus 4y agoI bet a lot of people actually experience Schadenfreude at seeing these social media empires being toppled. The point was not employee happiness, but an attitude that completely ignores that the employees might know a thing or two about how to run the place. And plenty of employees are willing to put up with subpar pay and otherwise boring work if they feel valued for the stewardship and experience.
- curious_cat_163 4y ago> And plenty of employees are willing to put up with subpar pay and otherwise boring work if they feel valued for the stewardship and experience. That sounds like a reasonable hypothesis. I don’t know if that is being (or was ever) tested at Twitter.
