Android Promoters Won't Get Caught Tweeting From iPhone Anymore With Upcoming Twitter Changes

[NPC Compliant]

No wonder your government is so dysfunctional.

The projection is real

 

[ZebraDude]

Maybe the boss shouldn't be such a petty, thin skinned bleephole who walks around like he thinks he's the Almighty.

This was the "Bosses" I've had for the majority of the times....(did have a couple of great ones thought)

 

[SnappleRumors]

I'll just go out and say it. Anyone defending Musk here either hasn't read the twitter thread we're talking about, has no idea what they're talking about, or is outright incompetent.

The engineer Musk went after here easily made the best he possibly could have out of the situation by remaining professional and answering his boss's questions in a clear and competent manner. Sure, he could have just sucked up to Musk and taken the abuse, but why? Even with the layoffs in the news, there are still plenty of places hiring.

Frohnhoefer and Leib chose to be publicly adversarial with their boss. My guess it was a calculated confrontation which neither regret the consequences.

I work for a fortune 100 company and if an executive went on a public forum to reprimand any employee BY NAME the one who would be out would be the executive. As for the engineer who CORRECTED him, I would float him an offer today.

What offer would you float?

 

[wanha]

An employee is not supposed to manage internal communication or PR in a public forum unless authorized to do so. Come on, I don’t like that Musk tweeted about him getting fired but the guy was dead wrong.

Fun fact: did you know Twitter no longer has a PR department?

Do you live in a world that just inverts reality or something?

That would be a fantastic reply if that was what the person to whom I was replying was saying.

I'm referring to where you're saying good leaders can't expect total fealty. Sure, good leaders can't expect that, but it's not total fealty to expect employees to take up their disagreements with you internally instead of publicly.

Do you live in a world that just inverts reality or something?

The only thing that matters is PARROT CURRENT NARRATIVE. In this case it is ELON BAD, common sense be damned.

 

[teh_hunterer]

Nope, going 7 years strong. Survived 2 Managing Directors and my feedback is greatly appreciated from the CEO in our monthly C-Level meeting. I can't imagine anything worse than working in a work environment where you have to be scared of being fired for simply having an opinion. Maybe it's also a cultural thing (assuming you are US American).
It's not so easy to fire someone here and if you do get fired, you usually end up with 3/6 months of salary depending on your contract (and notice period) after being let go so it "could be worse".

I'm guessing your monthly C-Level meeting is held internally, not in public or on Twitter?

 

[tufapshakur]

The number of people on here that think publicly tweeting out anything negative about their boss won’t have consequences is astounding

I would never jump into a public discussion with my boss uninvited full stop, especially if it was about our own products or services. You have no idea why they are communicating in such a way, they may even deliberately be appearing a bit clueless to encourage a kind of response. If boss wants my views or feedback, I know he will reach out to me via any one of several private internal channels.

 

[tomtad]

The one move from Elon that makes sense

 

[Statusnone88]

My boss isn’t a holy spirit. If he’s wrong he’s wrong and I tell it to his face and he’s happy to be corrected. Thats how a good work relationship should work. I wouldn’t even let my mother talk down on me as a grown ass person

Amen brother.

 

[Stiksi]

Say stupid things, win stupid prizes. Consequences.

* does not apply to billionaires.

 

[teh_hunterer]

Amen brother.

So both of you missed the word "publicly"?

The thing he was responding to was "I don't publicly disrespect my boss, do you?"

So you and cantacos publicly disrespect your boss, do you? That's a big claim!

 

[citysnaps]

What was Elon's prize for making things up?

He already won a prize big-time greatly overpaying for twitter. One prize per month. Rules.

 

[willyx]

Awesome

No more free advertising for Apple

 

[neotaz]

I don't publicly disrespect my boss, do you? Sure I can say whatever I want but I also am an intelligent human being and I know that would be frowned upon.

I wish Cristiano Ronaldo would heed your words.

 

[Kar98]

"What do you mean I can't try to embarrass my boss publicly, on a forum he owns?! So much for free speech!"

Come on, dude.

So much simping...

 

[tdar]

Is there nothing that Elon is not going to ruin?

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

>what device
That actually shows the app you tweeted with, not the device but go on I guess.

It was actually useful to see if some weird service you logged in through twitter with was posting on your behalf, or just discovering third party clients but I guess the smartest man in the world couldn’t piece that together so we won’t be having that anymore

 

[nStyle]

Highly doubt he goes through with it as his buddy jack tweeted shortly after defending it - although he was just saying “correct” to a Tweet that stated the obvious.

 

[randyhudson]

He was also just pissing on his engineers and then fired a guy for pointing out he was wrong.

Free Speech my A$$ I guess.

That guy was fired because he was too dumb to even understand the problem musk was talking about.

 

[jonblatho]

Who, by his own admission, can’t remember the number of calls made, and has been assessed to be wrong by a throng of engineers they have read through the code, and answer to Musk. My previous post stands, and your response just reinforces it

That’s why Elon Musk claimed Twitter makes “>1000 poorly batched RPCs” to render the Home timeline when Twitter doesn’t even use RPC API, right?

It’s okay to admit that Elon Musk is a jackass who sometimes knows neither what he’s talking about or doing. He’s not Jesus. The sooner you come to accept that, the better, especially if you have any money tied up in his pursuits.

 

[thefourthpope]

Skimming this thread, I see a couple of themes.

First, lots of posts on the free speech question. No this isn’t a case of free speech, as Musk thankfully is not the government and twitter thankfully is not a government entity. But Musk’s whole spiel to this point had been about bringing free speech back to twitter, by which he didn’t mean government censorship but corporate (“woke”) censorship. He’s not doing that though, selectively banning and firing people for using the service.

Second, no posts on Musk’s final point that “literally no one knows why” Twitter showed where the post came from. At least two people did (thats the screenshot) . . .

 

[Treq]

Companies aren't daycare centres either. And no major company on earth allows random employees to argue with their CEO on Twitter.

You work out disagreements internally and present a united front to the world.

Yeah, well the ceo shouldn’t start the conversation then.

 

[Krizoitz]

Free speech means less censorship. It doesn't mean no consequences for speech.

Why is it so hard to comprehend?

Musk has been conflating the two concepts. And now doing exactly what he complained about.

Why is that so hard to comprehend?
