While I understand how scary being out of work can be, they should probably all quit
I mean he's going to fire them and tie them up in litigation regarding severances, so yeah best to just bail now
I dunno, if Musk was unable to stop from buying twotter, he could also be unable to stop paying severance
I feel like anybody who owned any part of twitter is gonna get big paid
how do you figure? the people who sold their shares to musk when the bought the company for a huge premium already got their money and got out, I don't think anyone else is gonna get paid. Not the remaining shareholders, not the creditors owed the debt for the purchase, and DEFINITELY not the employees.
As part of the purchase agreement, employees get $100 million combined in compensation as part of the buyout deal, because part of their compensation is actual stock, vested today. That still has to be figured out. Then there's severance, which you don't get if you quit.
If Elon Musk is crafty enough to avoid fulfilling standard terms of an employment contract, I can't even finish this sentence due to the broken premise.

That headline is terrible enough, and then you look at the logo.
There are layers of insanity just in that fucking logo alone.
... Oh god, I don't wanna know if this madness was borne from someone saying the name "Juliet" out loud and then a huge depraved light bulb went off in their awful little head
Also the past few times I had cause to open Facebook, unsurprisingly, I found a similar situation to Intagram where almost my entire feed was ads rather than people and pages I actually follow.
Just a really unpleasant experience to use overall.
I've been switching to only using Instagram on my computer, where my add blocker works.
Sucks, but why me figuring out ramping up things again I need to advertise on Instagram if my candle-drops plan is going to work.
If this were a Tarantino movie it would end with every single Nazi getting brutally murdered.
Every movie should end like that
Marriage Story
Scarlett Johansson: I guess here at the end of our divorce it's good that we figured out that we were in a toxic relationship.
Adam Driver: That's the logical conclusion I've drawn from the trailers I've seen and the way most movies go. I haven't seen the film.
SJ: Holy shit, did that shady panel van just crash into the Panera Bread across the street?
AD: It did! And are those...nazis staggering out of the back?
SJ: Looks like. And there's Mr. T and some Power Rangers.
AD: Oof. They're really murdering the shit out of those nazis.
SJ: Yup. Anyway, I'm out. Don't call me.
AD: Same. Fuck! That's nasty.
SJ: Neat that it happened to a nazi, though.
AD: For sure. Get out.
SJ: Yeah.
I'm just saying if you're looking about how to end your movie, maybe throw killing some nazis into it? Or if you want to modern it up, some of the current Russian regime would also fit.

Yeah like they've already shown they'll remove that content at a moments notice. It feels like premature celebration (eh heh) to think this is a lasting change.

The mobile forums load much faster and scroll back is gone once I blocked twitter embeds on my phone.
I'm slowly going through all my follows to see if they have some sort of web presence anywhere else, and then I'm deactivating my twitter. It sucks that a lot of artists I look at is most active on there, but there's always somewhere else to migrate to on the internet eventually. Hopefully.

One of the best things about twitter is how it compels people to log on every day and admit things that, if it were me, I would keep as a dark secret buried deep inside until the day I die.
I said it before, but Twitter is a sideshow with a news aggregator
I just don't understand why people volunteer such awful facts about themselves.
"I like cooking fish in the microwave."
"I prefer to leave some shit on a public toilet paper roll."
"I like the yankees and cowboys!"

This is actually exemplary of one of the struggles I have with Twitter
On the one hand? I love drama. I love it. There's a level on which my brain is like hoo boy everyone is dragging Candy Mom can you believe someone so bad exists
But on the other, like, do I really benefit in any way in knowing that this main character exists, or experiencing that brief bit of outrage that someone can so proudly be a shitty parent? Do I really need that mixed endorphin rush of being mad and then seeing people reply in ways that dig in on 'em? And as fun as like, one instance of this is, this happens every day on there, taking advantage of that emotional reaction to the person who has fucked up in such a big way that the Eye of Twitter descends upon 'em
It just feels eventually like algorithmic emotional manipulation and I end up realizing I've delved too greedily and too deep into the replies and 20 minutes have gone by where I could have watched my hockey team lose at sports or cleaned my house or something

Oh, in the past my students love the guy.
Cause he's rich.
And if you are rich, you were smart/clever/hungry enough to have obtained it.
When I pushed back on this notion with them they became actively irrate/defensive, because it is a foundational lie of America.
Glad I saw a post that answered my immediate question
No they shouldn’t quit. It’s way better to force them to fire you so that you can get severance/unemployment/wrongful termination lawsuit money.
Absolutely spend company time scouting out new jobs though

No, if you quit, you can’t get unemployment and any of your attendant severance
Make that fucker fire you.

That much…
I’ve done it.
I’ve finally forgotten them all…
I’m free! Ah shit no I’ve remembered a bunch now. I’m not free I’m just dying of old age.
Even if it's a dull romantic comedy a character should comment about the news report where some Nazis got got

Well considering the Russian military right now is currently committing war crimes, yes it would be modern.
