If he fires all the engineers with a bad attitude it’ll just be the product managers left.
- bottlepalm 4y agoPretty sure all the project managers were in the first round of layoffs.
- sieabahlpark 4y agoI'm not surprised she was fired with that attitude.
- leereeves 4y agoWho thinks they can tell their boss "kiss my ass" and not get fired? > i said it before and i'll say it again > kiss my ass elon
- gizajob 4y ago(using his platform)
- netsharc 4y agoWhat was it, beacon of absolute free speech or some horseshit like that? Speaking of horse, remember when he told an employee he'd buy her a horse if she fucked him?
- perryizgr8 4y agoFree speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.
- freejazz 4y ago(wasn't he supposed to be for free speech?)
- tinus_hn 4y ago(Did he stop her from saying it?)
- freejazz 4y agoHe literally cancelled her. Got her fired from her own job because of a tweet. It's exactly the intolerance he complains of.
- tinus_hn 4y agoNo, actions have consequences but he has not prevented her from saying what she wanted to say.
- freejazz 4y ago"No, actions have consequences" Literally the exact thing Elon Musks complains about except it's when someone on his side of the culture war that becomes a victim.
- tinus_hn 4y agoHurr durr Elon bad all you want, getting fired for telling your boss to ‘kiss my ass’ is not cancel culture and neither is continuing to host that message.
- freejazz 4y agoIt's literally exactly what the right, and the rest of the twitter free speechistas, consider cancel culture.

- Waterluvian 4y agoI wonder if there’s a severance package for that. Employment suicide by cop.
- anonporridge 4y agoDangerous gamble for just a couple months of severance. Would make me hesitant to hire that person knowing they have such bad judgement as to publicly badmouth the CEO of their company on Twitter. Even hiring managers who personally hate Elon have to understand that this developer could easily turn the same energy on their own company at some point in the future and make them look terrible. Definitely a career limiting move, if not potentially career ending. Unless you're in a financial FU position, and this is your grand FU moment on your way out the door, it seems like a bad move.
- freejazz 4y agoDon't overthink it. Elon's a huge ass.
- yedava 4y agoI think this attitude about "bad judgement" needs to evolve. We need to consider whether a worker's profane tirade is a reflection of their judgement or a reflection of working under an extremely abusive boss.
- jimmywetnips 4y agoCareer ending. Go scope her experience and actual role and you'll see why she spoke so freely. She can waltz into any other company she wants. They're already coming for her in the thread lmao
- encryptluks2 4y agoLol.. these career ending move people are the same type that would say it is risky for someone who just graduated from MIT to leave their McDonald's job. I've sued multiple previous employers and never had it come up during interviews at Fortune 50 companies. I even went to work at one company that I had previously sued and won against in a personal dispute. If you're good at your job these companies don't care, they won't put that much effort into checking, and you can always scrub your social media later on.
- Swizec 4y agoThe first line of that tweet reads > lol just got fired for shitposting I think it's okay to say "kiss my ass" after being fired. Especially if you think doing so sends the right signal.
- scarab92 4y agoHer "kiss my ass elon" pinned post was from July 8. She's been publicly criticising Elon for a few days now, and not in a constructive manner like the Android dev. I can understand why she'd be let go.
- encryptluks2 4y agoBecause she want like the pony flight attendant?
- paulgb 4y agoEh, normally I'd agree, but let's not pretend this is a normal situation. If you parachute into a company as CEO and start publicly insulting all of the professional work that the employees (half of whom he just fired) have done, you can't expect them not to defend themselves and their (former) colleagues. This seems to be the fireable shitpost: https://twitter.com/sachee/status/1591857120768843776 https://twitter.com/sachee/status/1591857120768843776
- leereeves 4y agoHer pinned Tweet is "kiss my ass elon" from July 8.
- paulgb 4y agoTrue, I didn't see that. Still, he wasn't her boss at the time, that was the day he filed the first termination letter of his attempt to buy twitter, so it looked like he never would be. (I'm assuming she pinned it after he fired her, but I'm not sure.) https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000110465922098972/tm2225585d1_ex99-r.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000110465922...
- stefan_ 4y agoIf you wanna be paid to be a doormat, there is demand for that clearly. This is like his open door policy - go through it, for you will leave your job behind it.
- bergenty 4y ago
- jimmywetnips 4y agoAmazing stuff. I thought I knew how to risk my career just for the sake of comedy, this lass shows that she's varsity and I'm not even cleaning the jv bench
- paxys 4y agoI respect it. If you're a Twitter employee fed up with this stuff and typing up a boring resignation email, why not instead say screw it and get publicly fired by the big man himself after hurting his ego on Twitter..
- jimmywetnips 4y agoTotally. She knows she can go anywhere as well. Based on a quick glance at her cv she has the experience to back it
- amatwl 4y agoEh, there's a difference between criticizing your boss publicly vs privately.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Eh, there’s a difference between criticizing your boss publicly vs privately. Well, judging from the recent stories about Twitter’s internal environment and the public examples of criticism at Twitter, privately in an organization with no viable upstream internal communication and a culture of fear and retaliation is both impossible and likely to get you fired (immediately or on a list of targets by management) without your message getting to the top, whereas publicly your message is at least more likely to get to the top before you get fired, plus you are likely to have job offers in the thread, so, its clearly the preferred strategy.
- kthejoker2 4y agoThere's also a difference between criticizing your employees' work publicly vs privately. (And let's be honest - most likely the employee is 100% correct here, and he's lying about their performance as expressed by the codebase.) Only one of them is wildly inappropriate.
- neuronexmachina 4y agoI guess this is what she got in trouble for? Pretty epic way to go, IMHO: > you did not just layoff almost all of infra and then make some sassy remark about how we do batching >like did you bother to even learn how graphql works >you don’t get to shit on our infra if you don’t know what the fuck it does while you’re also scrambling to rehire folks you laid off Her background: https://sashatsolomon.com/ https://sashatsolomon.com/ >I'm a Staff Software engineer and co-Tech Lead of the Core API Platform Team at Twitter helping build the next generation API with GraphQL and Scala. I currently serve on the GraphQL Governing Board as a representative of Twitter, as well as on the Technical Steering Committee for GraphQL.
- npteljes 4y ago>If he fires all the engineers with a bad attitude Where I work it's in the contract that you don't talk shit about the company on social media. I think that's common sense too. I'm sure Elon is an irritating piece of shit, especially as a superior, but shit-flinging online like this is just not something I'd want in my company either.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- mmustapic 4y agoWell, Elon is the one talking shit about the company. She was, on the other hand, praising the infra, and talking shit only about the CEO.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoWell, his real title is Future Supreme Eternal Ruler of Mars (CEO)
- npteljes 4y agoCEO is part of the company.
- SauciestGNU 4y agoSo is the fired worker, and of the two I'd venture a guess that she provides more value to the company than Elon.
