If you're expecting a large fraction of your employee base to resign in protest, you definitely have to be concerned about the possibility of sabotage. Disabling access is one way to constrain sabotage until the dust settles.
Of course, it is not clear to me that this will be the last upheaval, so have fun defining "dust settles"
- smt88 4y agoIt would be stupid for any valuable employee to illegally commit sabotage when their own resignation is legal sabotage.
- whateveracct 4y agoSeriously. I hear a core infra team is entirely resigning. I can't imagine a better way to legally fuck up a company as an engineer than to just stop keeping the lights on (and get paid over the holidays to do it!)
- codefreeordie 4y agoThis is true, but angry people do unwise things with relative frequency.
- joshstrange 4y ago> resign in protest That a pretty favorable reading of what happened, so much so that I’d argue it’s downright disingenuous. Telling people the have to agree to -working long days, nights, and weekends, all in-person, for the same salary or if they do nothing they will get 3 months severance and be let go isn’t “resigning in protest”. The company (Elon) wanted to renegotiate terms of employment and the people that said “yeah, no” aren’t resigning in protest, they are leaving a (soon to be if it’s not already) toxic environment. It’s hard to call it resigning when the ceo gives an ultimatum like that.
