Another Twitter employee told CNN Wednesday they were still weighing the decision, saying the email from Musk "felt like a punch in the gut because no matter how you felt about wanting to stay or wanting to go, you were forced to make a decision and feel like you're up against the time clock to make the best decision for you and your family".Musk told employees on Wednesday that his goal is to build "Twitter 2.

Dead weight, anyone with business sense would sack the dead weight that's sucking the company dry and taking the piss

There's a well known saying and you may have heard of it. It says GOOD RIDDENCE TO BAD RUBBISH

Good, Shutting Conservative Voices is finished. Sucko lefties. People who trust Politicians the MS Media & ABC have Mental Health Issues. Please call the helpline.

where are all the journalist? FreeAssangeNOW

It’s a private company. Why are the journalism interns running the website so obsessed with the goings-on at a private company?

Save firing them

I wouldn't want these types working for me either.......

Sounds like the people who Elon wants out are doing it for him... On another note daily users and interest in working for twitter is at an all time high!

I enjoy Twitter and the varied information being produced. I hope this is the building up and not tearing down, I agree you need policies to enhance productivity but there still needs to be that “positive” outlook for employees and not combative worries, life is so precarious now

LOL. Bye bye, you won’t be missed.

elonmusk

Dont worry you can always call TCS or HCL! The run most of North Americas telcos. How hard can Twitter be.

where do u even get ur news from ? what terrible journalism ...

Take notice twitter is still up and running , do you really need all your radical leftie journo's ?

Speaks volumes when a group of people would rather quit their job rather than do their job properly And yet here we are still tweeting about it They will be sorely missed🤣🤣

That’s life! Others will coming!

It’s funny, by doing that and the app still working fine, more people on it than ever, it’s proving the staff were nothing more than dead weight and needed to go.

Elon Musk gives Twitter staff deadline to commit to being ‘hardcore’Remaining staff given until Thursday to confirm they will work ‘long hours at high intensity’ as part of ‘the new Twitter’ Now it makes sense why all of his employees keep roasting his knowledge of the platform on the TL. They know he'll kneejerk kick them out and feed the pile-up of free wrongful termination lawsuits It's a workplace, not a WWE match. Musk wants slaves not employees.

Elon Musk tells court he'll find new Twitter chief 'over time', defends $81 billion pay packageBillionaire boss Elon Musk has also told remaining Twitter staff they'll 'need to be extremely hard core' to stay employed. Seeing my oppressors removed from their position of oppression puts a song in my heart 🎶 The appearance of a variation of the expression 'defends the decision' in any ABC 'news' item indicates that the story is about someone the ABC does not like. Necessary reform. Much needed at the ABC.
