Every Twitter employee must send Elon Musk weekly updates about their work
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoElon Musk does not scale. This isn't practical. This feels like management by random walk.

- foundajob 4y agoAny high performer who could resist the temptation to send a detailed narrative of their latest significant poop, with photos, along with a curt resignation, is a stronger person than me. It really seems like he's asking for it.
- wsc981 4y agoHe probably wouldn’t read most of the mails. I’d just do what I do for my current employer: just send a list of commits of the last week, occasionally adding succinct meeting details. Shouldn’t take a lot of time really, can script getting a list of commits of last week. Shouldn’t be a big deal for most devs I think, might be more annoying for other jobs.
- SonOfKyuss 4y agoOn one hand, sending weekly status updates is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask for. Personally, I would prefer an email update to a meeting. On the other hand, asking 2000+ employees to send a weekly update to one person and not having them see it as pointless busywork, doesn’t seem reasonable.
- papito 4y agoSo he is micro-managing over a thousand (remaining) employees and personally responding to requests and comments from the general public on Twitter, while shit-posting at the same time. It's only a matter of time before his mind starts taking a walk off the map, if that's not already happening. Yeah, Mars will have to wait.
