If you want to delve into the lives of coal miners in England do I have an author for you!

I've enjoyed most of DH Lawrence so far- the Tresspasser and Lost Girl are both less regarded but good.

A true masterpiece that is often overlooked.

This post isn't about stopping other people from liking Sanderson's crummy writing, it's about the OP not enjoying it.

Just let people not like things.

Shit, since they're in west coast time zone he should shift them to a 6:30-3 with a half hour lunch.

That might be the case- except we've already seen, the majority of these employees were effectively NOT doing the work of a full time employee.

They seem to have had something like 10-15, maybe even 20+ people on pay roll for every 40 hours of work.

They can replace a few, be at a far lower staffing level and still turn out more productive work.

Yeah- I don't buy any of these "twitter is doomed" narratives; these are all being floated by people with an agenda.

I mean-- except by firing the bloated staff they reduce the operating expenses?

Have you seen the video of the woman going through her day at Twitter?

"Show up at office 10 AM; get latte; do yoga; one meeting lunch one other meeting; leave 330"

His message was designed to entice them to quit; he's trying to weed out all the slackers like the guy who reportedly after being fired for tweeting curses at Musk was offered a job by Reddit and turned it down because he "likes to rock into the office at 11 AM".

Now, MAYBE Musk means 18 hour days 7 days a week for months on end-- but that's not actually legal to demand people to work, and it seems to me that "9 to 5 with an hour for lunch and generally working not doing yoga" would qualify as "extremely hard core" for the employees.

Twitter will be fine long term; too many people are too addicted to it. It'll go through a rough patch, but it will come out the other end with employees who fit its new culture and in a much better place.

This is all bloviating from the people upset about the changes.

They were asked to come to work and do work during work hours, which effectively none had been doing.

Twitter was already operating at a massive loss every quarter.

Losing some advertisers might hurt, but not as much as removing the massive amount of unneeded staff.
