That may be true for an outsourced team of "yes men" but I would imagine the talent at Twitter has more self-respect than that. If the boss asks me to perform "office heroics", I will want to know what for. When I was younger I could power through that, while the stress would be absorbed by alcohol and my liver. Many people are too experienced and too tired of that crap. This has the vibe of an early tech company run by hard-partyng bros. Go time! Tequila and code! I don't know how it is at manufacturing and engineering companies like Tesla/SpaceX, but in the software business I've learned one thing - if you don't have respect for your engineers and you don't trust them, treating them like "resources", don't be in this business at all.
