As an aside, in schools, HIB stands for Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying, which seems applicable here as well.
Yeah, I used to work at an office like that.
(Not) Funny how many of them left for other jobs as soon as they had permanent residency.
I want to point out that i worked for a rather decent employer. And most of our H1B employees either stayed with the company after getting their green card, or returned after a brief stint checking out other options. And EVEN SO the other employees noticed that the H1B employees worked harder and complained less and we attributed that to their vulnerable legal status.
Any H1B employees at Twitter are going to be abused. And it sucks.
Well, maybe Elon can pick up some of the tech workers fleeing Russia on the cheap. Of course, he’ll have to face hostility from his buddy, Putin:

Totes normal:
…LOL.

ROFL
The entire Android team resigned. An estimated 75% of staff resigned. Everybody now locked out.
Well, Elon, now’s your chance to prove your leet skillz at coding.
925 people left working there. And they are locked out of the buildings because the boss doesn’t trust them.
This is just f*cking amazing. The absolute galaxy-brainness of it.
And those people would have probably left on their own, now he’s burning cash to pay their 3 months with absolutely nothing to show for it.
I always knew he wasn’t the “visionary” some media like to portrait him as, but that he is this dumb in short term games is a surprise to me.
I wonder if he can even afford the total burden of that buyout, or maybe it’ll just get folded into the myriad creditors he’ll owe when he takes it Chapter 11.
Don’t worry, I’m sure his defenders will be along shortly to explain to us how his paranoia and towering stupidity are actually part of his brilliant secret plan to turn twitter into a cancer-curing teleportation service or something.
Musk, November 10: “All employees must show up at the office or be fired.”
Musk, November 17: “All offices are closed until further notice.”
I’m beginning to see the plan here. Apparently Elno is going to run the place by himself.
With all the damage Elon is doing to Twitter anyway, how would they tell?
Apparently he’s desperate enough to at least partly walk back the no-remote-work order:
We’re hearing this is because Elon Musk and his team are terrified employees are going to sabotage the company.
What, Elon doesn’t want competition?
Exclusive footage from inside Twitter HQ;
Meanwhile;
I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe. Covfefe on fire off the soulder of Orion. 30 to 50 feral hogs running amok off the Tannhäuser Gate. All of these moments will be lost in time, like tweets in rain.
The rise and fall of the Krassenstein brothers, Elizabeth Brunig, and the miracle of Covfefe…
I’m sure it was a typo, but when I read that, I immediately pictured Elon Musk as a Muppet.
Thanks for the laugh!
I just assumed they were doing it on purpose, as Elmo is a name his critics call him a lot. Every single time I’ve seen Elmo trending, it’s been about Musk, and with one lone post about the puppet or doll thrown in.
How many Scaramuccis has it been since Musk bought the company?
Pilot from Farscape is what leapt to my mind.
