Now he's saying that he wants people to fly in to present their code to him by midnight. On the Friday before Thanksgiving. Into one of United's big hubs. With 14 hours notice. And a lot of cold fronts over the eastern seaboard. Likely more like 10 hours with travel times and the line of potential people that are presenting. I'm honestly gobsmacked. Look, if you're on of those engineers and are unfortunate enough to have to go through this insane reapplication for your job on ~1/2 day's notice, then I think you owe it to the poor people that are trying to fly in to drag this thing out as long as possible and stall, Stall, STALL.

He's really asking all 5 of the remaining engineers to come meet him at his office.

Right? The only way this shit show would be worthwhile is if it were starring John Candy.

  I miss John Candy as much as the next guy, but I'm not getting the joke.

    From the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Has some insane adventures trying to get somewhere with Steve Martin by Thanksgiving. A wonderful movie and we watch it every Thanksgiving/Christmas.

With all the departures from Twitter's payroll department, I'm curious if these employees can even count on being reimbursed for the travel. Ever (if bankruptcy), let alone in a reasonable time frame. Also, how does Twitter handle approval for travel if one's manager is gone?

Source? If that were true, and I was one of the people that moved because of Twitter's announcement that I could work from home forever, I would: expense plane tickets to the office, find or create the ten best relevant memes, and bring those in with me.
