Musk threatens to walk away from Twitter deal over high fake user count
lkrupp said:If the deal falls through I think the SEC would have a good case of fraud to bring against Musk. Looking like this was all theatre from the get-go. -

Twitter staff nearly decimated by Musk's 'extremely hardcore' demand
DAalseth said:LOL Those posts here saying that Musk is just clearing out the dead wood, that Twitter staff was full of people that weren’t working hard, weren’t pulling their weight really crack me up. Do you really think that 75%+ of the staff weren’t needed? Do you really think the site that had trouble staying up last World Cup will do just fine with not just people, but whole departments gone? With Content Moderation crippled? With Public Relations and Communications dark? With most of the programmers and infrastructure people not there, or at best spending time looking to get out? Do you honestly think that by selectively driving away the most experienced, most talented, most capable members of the staff, the site will somehow work better?
Get real. This fiasco will be used by business schools in the future of exactly how not to take over a company. As an example of precisely how not to treat your staff. As Exhibit A of managers that did not know WTH they were doing.
The Twitter employees who are leaving won’t be around to undermine the new boss. It’s a good way to clear house. Obviously, many posters here think that Twitter was just fine and dandy befits big bad Elon showed up. Twitter was bonkers partisan. It was a poorly run profitless shit show. Arbitrary enforcement of their rules undermined its credibility. Musk is putting and end to it. And he’s going to to it with committed people and not those who would secretly try to undermine him. -

Apple's North Carolina campus is still coming, but when is the question
The loss of state incentives for not having a hired 126 employees locally really shouldn’t be much of a loss for Apple. In fact, I would look down upon the company if that was the primary reason for locating and Research Triangle Park. It’s just wouldn’t be a good luck for the richest publicly traded company on the face of the planet.
I would be far more interested in news of the building architecture and accompanying landscape design. Of course, $1 billion is modest compared to the $5 billion Apple spent on the Apple Park in Cupertino. Nevertheless, they ought to be able to come up with something very nice. -
Apple corporate staffers have returned to Apple Park, one day a week
With Bay Area traffic being so bad, I almost sympathize with those who don't want to resume their commute. But it's the job they signed up for. If management wants them back then that's what they'll need to do. I'm sure many other companies would be happy to acquire the talents of those who wish to remain working from home. Maybe they can find new jobs, which better align with their desires.
My only warning is that if you want to move up the ranks, you'll need to show your face in the office. You may not like it. But that's the reality.
