Musk really started the trend of laying off worthless redundant tech workers. Everyone saw him do it with twitter and it’s still totally functional so now other tech companies have their investors to do the same. Once again proving he’s a trend setter.

That is literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever read on Reddit. Props to you.

How so? Use sources and facts.
Twitter was the first tech company to lay of their worthless project managers and now other tech companies are following the trend. What exactly is wrong about that statement.
Edit: hahaha the loser I replied to couldn’t disprove my point so they blocked me and now I can’t reply to any of your comments. If you need a source for musk laying people off just use google.

Seriously? No one running a major company gives a flying fuck about some asshole that is so mismanaging his vanity project that it’s cost him literally billions of dollars. It’s just too stupid to even consider. And I will block you now, thanks.

Good lord ya nut swinger, you keep asking for sources and facts. You're using conjecture and asking everyone else for sources and facts.

look at the amount these companies hired during Covid -2022 compared to any other year previously then look at what division these companies are axing
Will help a lot with getting that foot out of your mouth

This does not disprove that musk started the trend of getting rid of redundant tech workers. In fact it only proves my point further.
Clearly the tech sector over hired and then had to make a correction. Musk getting rid of all the worthless program managers at twitter proved this correct. So other companies followed suit, and their investors requested they do so after seeing twitter was just fine without their worthless middle managers. Musk was the first to do it, now other tech companies did the same. Nothing you’ve said disproves what I said.
Clearly numbers aren’t too hard for me, but using proper punctuation and spelling the word “you” are too difficult for you.
Thank you for further proving my point for me!

You *really* think these kind of tech layoffs started with Musk? I mean IBM alone has been doing it every year for at least a decade. Take a step back from the musky fumes.

The amount of mental gymnastics your doing is incredible you almost had it

You’re so close to getting it but because it’s wrongthink to admit anything Musk does is correct, you don’t want to say it.
Let me explain it for you
-
tech sector is over hired (we agree on this, see how I admit when you’re right about things)
-
Musk notices this with twitter and gets rid of worthless people (you literally agree with Musk on this fact but don’t want to admit wrongthink)
-
other tech companies and their investors notice how twitter is still doing great and follow Musks lead (you sadly won’t admit this is true because you are incapable of doing wrongthink even when it’s true)
It’s so sad how I’ll admit to you being correct about something you said, but you can’t do the same because your feelings won’t let you.

im not gonna agree on something that is wrong
/1.you have 0 understanding of a techs life cycle and how a tech company functions
google can still be "functional" if they got rid of 90% of their workforce and why dont they do that why dont they even shave 50% of their current workforce do you think they are stupid and enjoy wasting money?
heck all the websites and software that is on the market today would still be "functional" if they got rid of all the developers and why dont they do that Arber? do some research or hey ask a friend that works as a dev what they do in a company that already has a product built
- Tech companies have been known to go thru cycle of hiring and shaving because of overhired and axing projects the only difference this time is they hired way more than they ever did so naturally the amount of people that got laid off would be a bigger number too (MSFT case they still have more employees after the layoffs than any other year) another reason is huge tech projects are not hitting expectation like amazons alexa and MSFT's AR/VR
Did elon walk up early today and set a trend on waking up after sleeping? lmao
- Now on your idol he is getting rid of large amount of people and selling shit left and right is because he can't afford them sure there some bloat all company has some bloat but thats not the main reason his twitter deal is losing him a shit ton of money and twitter debt needs to be paid
Selling his tesla shares to cover Twitter
dragging his Tesla employees to Twitter to help out
and more
there's a lot more to Twitter than just the website he paralyzed a shit ton of teams to save money he will rehire when he gets out of this debt and Twitter starts to turn around as much as I dont like the guy he's not stupid enough to run Twitter barebones long term or he would have done that to tesla/spaceX

Go look back at this subs reaction when twitter laid off half its personnel, the hive mind was sure twitter would have functional problems but they don’t.
I clearly knew about tech companies life cycles. It’s not really hard to understand, remember I agreed with you, something you’re incapable of doing because your feelings won’t let you commit wrongthink.
Nothing you said disproves that the companies are following Twitters lead. If they weren’t following twitters lead, why did they all wait until after twitter did it to layoff their worthless workers? Investor letters to google even talked about how other companies laid off much more of their staff, showing how twitter set the precedence.
And he’s running twitter with the same method he successfully ran other companies.
Oh wow he sold shares to get money. What a shock.
Again, nothing you’ve said disproves that other tech companies followed twitters lead.

? All these tech companies has laid off people because of over hire or axed projects before Elon musk even bought Twitter
This is like saying I took a shit after a large meal but because Elon had diarrhea yesterday he’s starting a trend on expelling feces and I’m following his trend lol
King_Arber t1_j63qe75 wrote
There’s a trend of tech companies laying people off, and it started with Twitter. Nothing you have said changes that.
If they didn’t start laying people off after seeing it work at twitter why didn’t the other companies do it earlier? They only followed his lead.
