lol you can take the boy out of Apartheid SA but you can't take Apartheid SA out of the boy.
Just a reminder this would be illegal in Germany and if it is as gross as the title makes it seem would even lead to jail for Musk and managers.
It is too long per day, too many days without rest, likely with overtime not enough time before the next day, surpasses the allowed time limit per week and ignores the laws regarding part time work for parents, people who want to work less or people who are disabled by society.
Since it is a guise to force people out of the company it would be even under the Neoliberal laws of Germany be a breach of other laws, too. How the weakness of unions and the organized left created a capitalists dream in the US is truly remarkable.
Elon treats SpaceX employees this way and is expecting it to work the same - problem is SpaceX survives by hiring fresh graduates who want a prestigious mark on their CV so it doesn't matter if they all burn out and leave after a year because there's always new graduates. Twitter doesn't have that kind of relationship with its employees, it has nowhere near the industry prestige as SpaceX does, and tech grads have far more companies to choose from than aerospace grads do, so this is a self-immolating plan.
Can confirm, I have a friend who works for Twitter now, it is a mad dash to find a new job.
Yeah that's pretty much exactly what's going to happen. Twitter isn't quite a FAANG company, but it's not far short of one.
Excuse me, EEEEEEEEEElon obviously works 12 hour days, 7 days a week, at three companies at the same time.
84 hour work weeks lets gooo
literally working multiple times harder than a medieval peasant :isaac-pog:
:melon-musk: Everyone knows that a quality product requires a lot of time to make. My tech-bro genius mind, however is the first to make use of the fact that if P=>Q then clearly Q=> P [for those that haven't been subjected to formal logic this is a joke. Like saying, because it is raining the ground is wet. Therefore if the ground is wet it must be raining]
So all I need is to force all workers willing to tolerate it (and maybe some that don't) to just work until they die, regardless mental, or emotional states, and my software will be the best in the world!
So, what would it take for Elon to be stripped of his power as the person in charge of twitter? How bad will he need to fuck up?
He privatized it and declared himself king pretty much. He’d have to willingly sell it, and find a buyer.
…wanna do a Kickstarter?
Since Twitter itself owns the debt that was used to purchase it, and the debt is essentially impossible to pay off, Elon might actually be better off if the platform goes under and makes the debt disappear along with it. Then the people who are screwed are the investment group who lent him the money to begin with.
