I think the quote might be a bit hyperbolic, but there is a general PR push against twitter employees that has caught on a bit. Here is some anti-twitter narratives I've picked up. * Twitter didn't crash as soon as Musk laid everyone off, as some predicted. This gives credence to the 'dead weight' angle. * There's some controversy around Twitter and it's employees being anti-conservative or anti-free speech in some circles. This was highlighted by Trump being banned. * There's open questions around the intelligence community's (FBI specifically) influence on social media under the guise of preventing the spread of 'misinformation'. This isn't a Twitter specific problem, and most of it is aimed at management/exec level, but it doesn't help the reputation of the average twitter employee. * Twitter in general inflames emotions. It's no surprise people have opinions about the people that work there. * There's a general view that tech workers are highly compensated with great perks. We are unlikely to gather sympathy.
