The Twitter Employees Who Elon Musk Is About to Fire En Masse Publish Their List of Demands, Beginning With the Demand That They Not Be Fired
"And if you don't agree to our demands that you not fire us, we'll walk out!!!"
Prepare for a shock: The Danger-Haired Nosering transgender pussyhats are behaving irrationally, and do not seem to have a sound conception of how economics work. Or reality, for that matter. You may recall rumors that Musk plans to fire 75% of Twitter's 7,500 workers. He has called Twitter's employment rolls "bloated," and noted the "workers'" "strong left-wing bias." The workers he's about to fire have decided that now is the moment to strike.Firing workers isn't an act of worker intimidation; it's just firing workers. Everything with these hysterics is shrieking drama.
TIME reviewed a draft of the open letter circulating among Twitter employees on Monday. "Elon Musk's plan to lay off 75% of Twitter workers will hurt Twitter's ability to serve the public conversation," said the draft of the letter, which has not yet been published. "A threat of this magnitude is reckless, undermines our users' and customers' trust in our platform, and is a transparent act of worker intimidation."
The letter demands that Musk commits to preserving Twitter's current headcount if his takeover of the company goes through. It also demands he does not discriminate against employees based on their political beliefs and that he commits to "fair" severance policies and more communication about working conditions. "We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires," the list of demands says.
Here's the full text:
Staff, Elon Musk, and Board of Directors: We, the undersigned Twitter workers, believe the public conversation is in jeopardy.
"The public conversation," as curated and censored by us.
Elon Musk's plan to lay off 75% of Twitter workers will hurt Twitter's ability to serve the public conversation. A threat of this magnitude is reckless, undermines our users' and customers' trust in our platform, and is a transparent act of worker intimidation.It will reduce the number of Bluehairs available for censorship duty, which is the intent, because Musk believes that "the public conversation" is best served by the greatest tolerance for and latitude of free expression practicable.
Leftists can only describe their "achievements" in the vaguest, gassiest terms -- "uplift," "empower" -- because they have no actual achievements, and never will.
Twitter has significant effects on societies and communities across the globe. As we speak, Twitter is helping to uplift independent journalism in Ukraine and Iran, as well as powering social movements around the world.
Your letter of termination is literal violence. And we'll see if there is no Twitter "without [your] work." Without you relentless censors monitoring people 24/7.
A threat to workers at Twitter is a threat to Twitter's future. These threats have an impact on us as workers and demonstrate a fundamental disconnect with the realities of operating Twitter. They threaten our livelihoods, access to essential healthcare, and the ability for visa holders to stay in the country they work in. We cannot do our work in an environment of constant harassment and threats. Without our work, there is no Twitter.
We, the workers at Twitter, will not be intimidated.No, the plan is not to intimidate you; it is to fire you. Are you all autistic or just 98% of you? I have to ask. Why do you all have such a terrible difficulty processing simple reality?
Is that a threat? Is that some kind of threat that you will continue your censorship activities, somehow, even if you're fired? By forming a Boycott Twitter PAC or something?
We recommit to supporting the communities, organizations, and businesses who rely on Twitter. We will not stop serving the public conversation.
Once again, a plan is not a "threat," you hyperemotional toxic pissbaby lunatics.
We call on Twitter management and Elon Musk to cease these negligent layoff threats.
As workers, we deserve concrete commitments so we can continue to preserve the integrity of our platform.The integrity of the platform increases the moment you are G O N E.
How many conservatives do you allow to work at Twitter? Do you even know how many work there, or are they so terrified to speak up they remain silent so you don't even know if there are or aren't conservatives there? But you demand to be protected, huh? I have some advice for you. I know this is good advice because you've offered it to us ten thousand times before: Build. Your own. Twitter.
We demand of current and future leadership: Respect: We demand leadership to respect the platform and the workers who maintain it by committing to preserving the current headcount. Safety: We demand that leadership does not discriminate against workers on the basis of their race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs.
We also demand safety for workers on visas, who will be forced to leave the country they work in if they are laid off.Oh fuck the fuck off.
The mentally-ill sickly retards can't bear to leave their smelly shame-pit hovels. He already announced everyone will be coming back to work. Don't worry, this won't affect you; you'll be fired.
Protection: We demand Elon Musk explicitly commit to preserve our benefits, those both listed in the merger agreement and not (e.g. remote work).
We demand leadership to establish and ensure fair severance policies for all workers before and after any change in ownership.Here's your severance package: You're fired. Get the fuck out. Oh wait, you're already at home. Okay, stay there. You just won't be getting paychecks any longer.
Dignity: We demand transparent, prompt and thoughtful communication around our working conditions.Here's a thoughtful communication about your working conditions: Your new condition is that you're no longer working at Twitter.
We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires. Sincerely, Twitter workersHere's some dignified treatment for you: Huzzah, good sirs and madams! How elegantly sickly you all look. I bringeth thee glorious news this fine day: You're all fuckin' fired! Now kindly taketh your unwashéd arses downwind from this place and smartly! But seriously, these lunatics are going to commit actual criminal sabotage on their way out. They're going to expose a lot of people's private information and communications. That's what this really is: Blackmail. Negotiate with us or we're going to release all the terabytes of personal data of people we don't like, which we have spent the last six months downloading to our personal hard-drives, so that we can use it to extort Musk into essentially handing over the company to the lunatics ruining the asylum. And I'm sure the DOJ will fully prosecute them for that, too. Someone the Deep State is investigating: Elon Musk. As David Strom points out, all it took was Elon Musk to urge people to vote Republican to spur the Deep State into opening a national security investigation into him.
Indeed, as Strom notes, Bloomberg reported that the lawless Chinese Communist Satrapy called the Biden Administration had opened an Enemy of the State file on Musk.
In May Musk told his followers that he was voting Republican because Democrats had become the Party of division and hate.It is in this context that you should understand what was just revealed. The dirty tricks campaign is on full display, and the MSM and the Left are all in on destroying Musk entirely. News hit the wire today that the Biden Administration is considering labeling Musk a National Security threat and subjecting all his deals to federal reviews on that basis.
"In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party," Musk wrote. He then bashed the Democratic Party, writing: "But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican." "Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold," Musk wrote, adding a popcorn emoji to his tweet.
Musk's proposals for peace weren't "favorable toward Russia." They were merely the vaguest outline of peace terms, which, necessarily, concede things to both sides to get both sides to consider peace as an acceptable resolution. But of course the Media-Deep State Industrial Complex now only accepts Regime Change in Russia to be an acceptable peace term. And they'll go to full nuclear war for that. There's a sneaky conspiracy theory going around. Musk doesn't actually want to buy Twitter any longer. We know that. Twitter was suing to compel him to complete the purchase, which he had declared he didn't want to complete. He agreed to go forward with the sale, but that could just be due to lawyers advising him he was unlikely to escape liability in the courts. Is it possible that he provoked the national security investigation to get the government to kill the Twitter deal that he wanted killed, but was unable to walk away from without outside help?
Biden administration officials are discussing whether the US should subject some of Elon Musk's ventures to national security reviews, including the deal for Twitter Inc. and SpaceX's Starlink satellite network, according to people familiar with the matter. Twitter shares fell 5.1% as the market opened in New York on Friday. US officials have grown uncomfortable over Musk's recent threat to stop supplying the Starlink satellite service to Ukraine -- he said it had cost him $80 million so far -- and what they see as his increasingly Russia-friendly stance following a series of tweets that outlined peace proposals favorable to President Vladimir Putin. They are also concerned by his plans to buy Twitter with a group of foreign investors. The discussions are still at an early stage, the people familiar said on condition of anonymity. Officials in the US government and intelligence community are weighing what tools, if any, are available that would allow the federal government to review Musk's ventures. One possibility is through the law governing the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to review Musk's deals and operations for national security risks, they said.

A current view expoused by the left is that if any non-leftist is allowed to talk then we no longer have free speech.
Occasionally they argue this is because rightwing speech is violence, though no one believes that.
The real reason is they believe in a battle of ideas they lose. They generally attribute this to leftwing ideas being too hard for normal people to understand which is fascinating in that most leftwing ideas are dead simple. Compare for example
Abortion is a right! Bodily autonomy! That's it. vs
Abortion is taking the life of another. Yes that means that someone else uses your body, potentially against your will. But saving that person's life is the least bad choice.

You know who used twitter effectively?
Trump. He used it to get his message out to the voters -- going around the MSM filter. Imagine if they had seen that as a great example that could have been replicated by others?

Yes you need some operations people, but I suspect most of that is outsourced to Amazon. I would guess billing and payments is outsourced too.

Seriously. It sucks. I am even somewhat sympathetic individually about what's going to happen to those of them who cannot get work elsewhere before their visas expire.
But maybe this wouldn't be a problem if Twitter didn't play stupid H1B games like the rest of Silicon Valley and if the US government didn't encourage those games to the detriment of the domestic workforce.

This is the best possible outcome. It will be such a big volume of information that after the first two or three drops, nobody will care anymore, not in the macro sense.
But they will care vis a vis tech companies. Want to see actual user collapse on these platforms? Do this. Once people see what Big Tech can do - in a snit or by bigger design - it will be eye-opening.

I posted a link a couple of weeks or so ago where he said he was going to have resources in place for any pro-war people who wanted to donate their personal money to support the troops surfing porn and watching Netflix during the war that they'd be able to donate and keep the satellites running for the pro-war folks.
Roughly. He might not have used those exact words. He did say people were free to donate.
I'm guessing the pro-war communists are fond of their own money, though.

None of these people do any real, actual work. They get paid six figures to do a job that takes them about 20 hours a week, if that. Their offices, to the extent that they go to an office now, are less office space than they are day-camps for adults that are still children. Video games, ping pong, scooters, catered meals, bean bag chairs, snacks, gyms, etc.
Twitter will run just fine without 75% of these useless asswads.

Thousands of leftists who would not unionize.

Posted by: torabora
Oh, they're going to unionize. Now. Because there will be protections against retaliation for labor organizing.
I've seen this before, when another millionaire got into publishing. Wendy McCaw bought the Santa Barbara News Press awhile back, and a couple of years later she was accused of changing the editorial outlook of the SB Pravda wannabe. Things got ugly, and the formerly non-union staff quickly began to unionize, specifically to avoid being fired (they were quite open about it).
The good part is, when she bought the paper, there were 200 on staff, as of about 5 years ago, there were 20 left. *furiously beats off*
Also, the SBNP was the first newspaper in the US to endorse Trump for President. Considering the commie cocksuckers who live in SB, that's sweet.

Posted by: DB at October 26, 2022 01:25 PM (geLO8)
Look, I know there's a real "office work isn't real work" bias here, but I'm going to answer the question seriously anyway.
Silicon Valley specifically and computer jobs generally can be a grind. You're expected to be mentally sharp and on board for hours at a time, working on complicated problems, and dealing with frequent interruptions and frustrations. Imagine trying to put together a watch in your mind as you get pinged by your co-workers to remind them how something you built two years ago works.
I work on a codebase that's hundreds of thousands of lines of code, built across a couple of decades using at least three dozen different technologies, and it's all constantly in flux. Sure, I'm not digging ditches, but it's taxing in a different way.
Also, if you have a bad manager who is intent on self promotion, blame shifting, doesn't give clear instruction, maliciously withholds information, plays favorites etc, that's rough.

Firing indicates that you are being removed from your position for cause having in some way not been able to do your job properly and that presumably someone who can properly fill the position you were is will be hired in your place.
RIF is another way of saying. "I don't think we have a good business purpose for all of these folks, time to let some of them go."
Striking without a union during a RIF for reorg following change of ownership is a really really bad plan. Because the manager of the RIF ***can justify laying YOU off rather than someone less senior by your demonstrated recalcitrance toward the new owner and his plan for the business.*** That will legally blunt any claim of discrimination you might make later. So you might as well have worn t-shirts saying "we want pink slips" while chanting "WHAT DO WE WANT?!" "UNEMPLOYMENT", "WHEN DO WE WANT IT?!" "NOW!!!"

Sure, but that's part of "working conditions."
Also, you joke about the temperature, but at Microsoft, a LOT of the offices were hot as hell. They were designed for single occupancy, but they often stuffed two people in that space. Add in a half dozen computers for each occupant. Add in a HVAC system that was designed to cool whole floors, not individual offices, and the result was you could feel a wash of heat pouring out of many offices simply walking by in the hallway.

>>RIF is another way of saying. "I don't think we have a good business purpose for all of these folks, time to let some of them go."
I saw this in real-life with Jeff Bezos.
I built a broadcast facility for Amazon a couple of years ago, specifically for events related to Prime-Day.
It was intended to be a sort of fancier, upscale sort of QVC and was spearheaded by a small contingent within Amazon with little input from Bezos.
They hired editors, producers, camera operators, control room operators, the works.
Bezos came for a tour, saw the place was informed what the intended use was, he got up from the table, said we're not doing this and walked out.
I will say this, all of the employees got good severance packages on their way out the door.

Coders maybe have a claim - not as to conditions - but as to taxing work (mentally). It's the set of non-conder hangers on that only appear after a platform is up and running and generating revenue that are the real drain. HR, middle managers, multi-level executive structures, and in Twitter's case, the wokester mob that focuses solely on censorship. Those people can disappear without a hiccup.
And Musk has made clear that free speech was a major point of the purchase. The slow, dimwitted wokesters are still around complaining and demanding.

My office had adjustable thermostats, but it would just set the range at -1 to +1 degree from the default setting. Heat was fine, but AC was miserly.
I would go to the gas station and get those chemical hand warmers, start 'em up, and tape them to the wall about 18" below the thermostats in my area to trick them into thinking the room was too warm but not trigger a fault. Took me about a week to dial it in.

I was perusing Twitter on my old account today, and I came across the newest form of the parties switched, I've seen. I've seen variations, of course. The most common is after the Civil Rights Act. I've also heard 1880s or so.
I saw someone posit that they switched right after the Civil War.
Never seen that one before.

It was probably well over a year ago that I saw some news bit that their HQ was almost entirely empty because of Covid, yet they went ahead and did a multi-million dollar renovation inside. The place is still mostly empty, as they're too afraid to make their employees actually show up for work. In spite of free shuttles, and free food/entertainment once they're there.
I don't know how they're going to survive without a coffee/juice bar and 5 star chef creating free meals for them if Elon sacks them.

Apparently you're not familiar with the federal government's RIF system & union involvement. Performance Awards - bullshit and all - are a guiding factor as now is diversity, etc. Much of it is done to get around "veterans preference" - keeping deserving "5 & 10 point" veterans onboard in government positions for which they were qualified - over some slacker with 20 years of service.
It can also be useful for getting around ADA employees & dealing with the last of the lower graded clerical, support and/or maintenance type employees.

Depends. There is usually a grace period with H1Bs. if they lose employment, they have some amount of time (three months, I think, but I don't remember) to find employment with someone else who will take over the requirement. This compresses wages quickly during large-scale layoffs. The worker will take a lot less to stay in the country, and the employers know it.

She said "men cannot get pregnant" and for that was banned.
That's not fucking with them. That's proving they're mentally damaged and full of absolute shit.

there was a parody website a decade ago of the DC DMV which ran you through rings of bureaucracy each ending with "you now owe a $50 convenience fee"
the poors are really hit hard by the fees on fees

I am. The government WANTS slacker woke quiet quitters who are good loyal communist pawns so invented a system to give them on-paper preference so they wouldn't be the ones getting the RIF, while avoiding discrimination lawsuits.
Again the owner of Twitter will be Elon, and Twitter whiners are handing him a legally defensible reason why they should be laid off first regardless of previous merit, or seniority.

definitely NOT
They are not qualified to discern what is illicit or illegal. This is one-sided censorship.

Why are E-leftists always so concerned about "working conditions"? You sit at a desk and press buttons all day long. You're hardly breaking your backs. Are you concerned with having a working air conditioner set at a comfortable temperature?

I've worked in places where we didn't have that in an office environment, and it would get up to 90 degrees inside. That was no joke.
They mean nothing of that, more like free ping pong tables and meditation spaces. Its just there to fill in the boilerplate 19th century labor conditions stereotype and let people imagine babies getting eaten by looms at Twitter or data mine collapses that trap thousands.
Its stolen valor like everything they do.
