I think Elon started the ‘disk defragmentation’ process for employee efficiency and other companies are seeing the benefit. There is a lot of slack in tech companies. When staff have time to unironically have video shorts on how pampered they are and how little work they get to do, there is a lot of ‘defragmentation’ opportunities.
Companies were afraid to be first but Elon plus the new malaise economy gives them the right condition to follow suit and start it.
- 6510 4y agoThe most unexpected angle to me was how people who just do their job become the prime targets to get rid of. If you want promotion or simply for people to stop laughing at you behind your back you have to drop your productivity way way down to average - ideally below.

Those useless moonshot products they're "wasting money" on sometimes turn out to be the next ChatGPT. Of course, ChatGPT is a bit of empty hype, but there is an enormous amount of money to be made. Can you imagine if Google just had nothing like that ready because they were too afraid to accidentally over hire?
