Why? I'm confused.

  I don’t want people who are workaholics on my team. I want people who aren’t going to burn out and have a good work/life balance. I don’t want people who are sycophants for a billionaire on my team. It shows a lack of good judgement. I don’t want people who think laying off half the staff, revoking WFH out of the blue, and then giving a hazy ultimatum with neither option well defined is a smart move. I want people who know their worth, will speak the truth without fear of reprisal, not mindless followers willing to sacrifice everything for a company or a person.

    > I don’t want people who are workaholics on my team. That's a big assumption. Maybe they had a great work/life balance before and they see this current imbalance as a temporary inconvenience that's not worth losing their job over. > I don’t want people who are sycophants for a billionaire Another unfair assumption. You could get this information directly by asking a good open ended interview question. > I don't want people who think laying off half the staff, revoking WFH out of the blue, and then giving a hazy ultimatum with neither option well defined is a smart move. I don't understand why staying on automatically means that you think that Musk's actions are smart. > not mindless followers willing to sacrifice everything for a company or a person. They were not willing to sacrifice everything since they were not willing to quit their jobs.
