I find it interesting how Twitter has disproportionately fired (not just laid off) ICs+managers who were considered to be the most respected and most effective at the company I suspect it's not on purpose and that there's a confounding variable, but it's still an odd thing to do

Elon wouldn’t know that the shirts were created by a Black Employee Resource Group at Twitter called Blackbirds in 2016. ERGS was one of the first things he got rid of with. Blackbirds sold these shirts to fundraiser to create safe spaces for Black ppl on the internet and in tech

Excellent research-backed thread. Not only do those who stay have no choice, they will also eventually burn out.
This is a common tactic/belief. The problem? It backfires more often than succeeds. I researched it & covered it in my book. More often: It's not the tough ones that stick around; it's the ones who have no other options. Let's look at some history and research:

Whoever’s left at Twitter will have to navigate a minefield of land mines & hand grenades bc NO ONE is as petty as an engineer. “Every engineer has a secret plan for how they would burn the whole thing to down.” And a lot of them aren’t mad at Elon

all the why Elon Musk bought Twitter theories are overthinking it. it’s simple. Musk is in a right wing filter bubble. he bought Twitter believing their problems were real & that others felt the same this is what happens when you have a lot of money & live in fantasy land

This is actually potentially much worse for Twitter even than turning off 800 microservices: techcrunch.com/2022/11/14/is…

Before the next election, you might want to find a better way to poll anyone under the age of 30 since they would rather pick up a pinless grenade than a call from an unknown number.

“I hired too many of those people working on accessibility, human rights & ethics too fast and the manchild who wants to extend the light of consciousness got rid of them and he’s right.” Can we abolish billionaires yet?
