>> nobody's firing productive workers. Remind me why Twitter is trying to rehire workers they let go, within a week?

because twitter's own execs and HR had their say https://mobile.twitter.com/RichardHanania/status/1591153866397331456 https://mobile.twitter.com/RichardHanania/status/15911538663...

  That has no bearing whatsoever? That link itself says "Mr. Musk's team brushed aside the suggestion", meaning that didn't effect who was let go, but -even if it did-, it still would have no bearing, since regardless of who made the decision, or for why, the fact they're being sought after to be rehired so soon means your initial statement "nobody is firing productive workers" is false. Someone fired workers who were sufficiently necessary as to realize they -need them back- within a week.

    it does however suggest that some people might have been fired for reasons other than merit

      First off, it doesn't apply, given that the very link you included explicitly states that while there was a recommendation from execs and HR, Musk's team chose not to follow it. So it's irrelevant. Second, even if those recommendations were followed...that's an argument -against- your initial statement that "nobody's firing productive workers." I.e., if they were fired for reasons other than merit, than -somebody fired productive workers-.

They are only rehiring a handful. Stop spreading propoganda

  ...I'm not? "trying to rehire workers they let go" is missing the word "all". Perhaps -you- read that particular qualifier into it, but it's just as valid to understand it, as it was intended, to imply "some", especially since the existence of -any- rehired employee refutes the statement it was in response to. I assume you got terrified when you heard, say, "Jeffrey Dahmer ate people", and started to question your own existence since obviously if he ate ALL the people you couldn't be here?

  They'll be rehiring more when the people they thought they were keeping leave because remote is a deal breaker.

I think by now it's understood that the goings-on at Twitter are extraordinary and out of the norm.
