Recent Proceedings at Twitter

There have been enough comments about the last couple of weeks at Twitter. Many strange things have happened, I’m going to post my short list with link here for future reference.

• The new owner, on his first day, carries a sink into the company headquarters, “Let that sink in,”
• Actors pretending to be staff that were fired,
• Engineers print out code for review with external engineers,
• People are sleeping in the office to meet ridiculous deadlines. Obviously, some are cool with that,
• Employees are sacked via email, the equivalent of being dumped via text,
• Some of the engineers who remained are fired for criticising Musk in public and privately, and
• People are asked to commit to inhumane working conditions, many leave.

The list is likely incomplete, I might add more links in the following weeks.
