then that is on you....if you worked below the industry norms.....no one forced you to do that. There are other postions to be had. Then maybe you were just bad at salary negotiation?
Got a tip for us?

You’re forgetting that the previous CEO allowed them to work at home for years. People moved, people adapted, for many it wasn’t feasible to go back into the office.Or dear, the employees think this an unreasonable amount of time to be in the office. Working a five day week, 8 hours per day, this is the typical working hours for office work.
How do so many people miss this fact? They aren’t complaining that they have to work 40 hours a week.
It's his snide comments that make so many people like him already less than they do.
No sympathy for this egomaniac.
None.
So they’re quitting which is their right. Twitter is giving them severance. Why is this front page news all over the world? Amazon and Meta are laying off tens of thousands and that’s not getting the scrutiny that people freely quitting Twitter are. Why?
At least from what we are seeing/hearing, Twitter has become a toxic place to work.
To think that the 80s sci-fi miniseries, V, had it correct all along.
or maybe there is a change in cuture going on and people just do not like that change. So they do what comes natural...they complain and the media is happy to run with anything negative that drives more traffic to their media outlets....
Unless they are women, or handicapped, or a person of color, or jewish, or muslim, or ...
You really can't forget not everyone can switch jobs easily, no matter how smart and capable they are.
So this is what real time destruction of 44 billion dollars looks like.
I would have guessed it would have taken much longer.
But Enron is the business genius in this sense too.

First sign of conflict? What do you think has been going on since Musk took over? All it has been is conflict...lol
While it's fun to watch Musk crash and burn, it really sucks that thousands of people are losing their livelihood's because of his stupid actions, and right before the holidays. With tens of thousands of other tech workers from Amazon, Facebook, and others recently let go, it's going to be hard getting a job in the industry for some time.
He bought for the power it gives him.
Owning his own company doesn’t mean he also owns the workers. There are obligations, ethics, and norms in working with existing employees. That is, there are rights. Rights of ownership does not necessarily overrule other rights. Ownership isn’t kingship, and even as king, kings have obligations to society and subjects.
How do you eliminate hunger with $44 billion? That's like $50 one time payment per each hungry person. Assuming the NGOs you give the money to don't waste half of it (which they will).
Not to mention, someone took that money from Musk, so they can donate it to charity too.
It won't give him any "power" when it's been ran into the ground.
And soon, the worker at space x and his other companies will stop putting up with his "hardcore" excrement and horrible behaviors.
He woke something alright.
He woke the want not to work under a horrible, horrible person.
I hope this ends up getting him booted out of his other companies.

exactly.....what happens during a culture change? Conflict and change is the way business is handled after most take overs.
This is how they see who has roots and wants to adapt and change. The one constant thing in any technology company is constant change.....
I'm from Europe, "long hours" is anything above 35h per week for me. The US labor system is terrifying.
I run a small IT business (15 people). Funny enough, our product is a social networking solution. Nobody works overtime, weekend shifts (tech support) are volunteer basis + double paid and everybody works from home. I wouldn't have it any other way even knowing that squeezing my team harder would yield more revenue. That's probably why I'll never be filthy rich

I wonder if Musk watched the movie 'Pretty Woman' and thought he would want to be the kind of person that the actor Richard Gere portrayed, a ruthless business man who had it all, the money, the clothes, the cars, the houses, the women.
Yea I'd like to know if these are salaried employees, and he's trying to shaft them out of OT for like 80+ hours?
Handy tool to check out:
That's simply not true. Musk has a long history of overworking people on a very regular basis and treating them like crap. Their turnover rate is unusually high and they've sued a number of times over the mistreatment and worker rights violations.
This isn't some test and it's ignorant to even suggest such. This is about a billionaire that acted a fool and bought a company for billions more than it was valued at, and he's not trying to keep a ship alive that he, himself, is actively shooting holes in at the same time.
