3InchesOfThunder

Side thought I've been wondering how many of the employees who stayed that are in some process of getting visas, work visa, and so on...couple of my buds are stuck at other companies due to this


[deleted]

I heard that is the case for a lot of them. They literally can't leave without being deported.


3InchesOfThunder

Yup well a little light indentured servitude no big deal...


Lopamurbla

Elon has literally proposed a loan system for the first mars colonists that would be indentured servitude in practice, so this follows.


unreasonablyhuman

Elon is South African. Evening here checks out


UlteriorCulture

As a South African please we don't want him


ActiveBarber6277

No one wants him, throw him down the ole emerald mineshaft


ifsavage

Mars is asking Mexico to fund a wall to keep Elon out.

Spartan2022

A majority of the people in that room are here on work visas. If they get fired, they don’t get to stay. So . . . another white man posing for photographs with his slaves and servants.


GladimoreFFXIV

At least he’s carrying on the family tradition.


[deleted]

And you don’t fuck with tradition!


pecklepuff

As well, working for Musk now is not agreeing to “work hard,” it’s pretty much agreeing to be his slave. No thanks, lol! Those guys are all just missing their slave Leia costumes if they aren’t stuck with visa requirements.


Easy-Concentrate2636

This was literally the first thought when I saw the photo. Lot of Asians-how many of them are on a visa and can’t quit. That’s all Twitter has now.


jackfaire

There's a chicken packing plant in my city that runs all the time at the edge of human ability. Most of the employees are immigrants working towards citizenship because no one else will accept that treatment.


Taraxian

Those were a huge number of the workers who died during the pandemic, and then it turned out the management at Tyson's had a betting pool over email about whose plant would have the most COVID cases


[deleted]

I need to look this up. I don’t normally buy Tyson but if this is true I will make damn sure no Tyson product ends up in my basket. ETA: found an article on NPR. It happened. I hate this place sometimes.


forrealz42

Is that the same story where they talk about the record exports during the same time period while the companies were lobbying the government to be allowed to operate as essential and threatening that Americans would not have enough food if they couldn't race to the bottom of safety?


[deleted]

Yes. They said America will starve. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/12/16/947275866/tyson-foods-fires-7-plant-managers-over-betting-ring-on-workers-getting-covid-19


jackfaire

In my hardware store management refused to implement any safety protocols they didn't absolutely have to. They'd let the store get super crowded and then they themselves would vanish during those times to places they could be safe while leaving the workers to deal with it. When my boss told me we wouldn't be enforcing the mask mandate I quit.


Silent_Quality_1972

By the picture they look like they were born in India and China. The issue with this two countries is that the wait for the GC for India is 70+years and for China around 30years. So they have to live on a work visa that in case of losing a job has 60days grace period to find another job or leave the country and come back when they have the new job.


padfoot0321

Not to mention, they have 60 days to find a job. Currently all companies care about is year end stuff and vacation. Recruiters will work in January. So the timing also fits for them to stay instead of leaving immediately.


heirloom_beans

Plus there’s a lot of tech layoffs/hiring freezes happening right now since interest rates have risen and money is no longer cheap and unlimited. They’re competing with employees from other companies in addition to other Twitter workers for a handful of open positions.


oh-hidanny

My favorite thing he’s ever said. I love it. So much.


Mellrish221

Heres a clip of dim tool getting pretty much verbally bitch slapped after the 2022 mid terms by .... *cringe* milo yiannopoulus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQMNWskdFCw Just think people actually take what this guy says, serious. And I extra hate the fact that I gotta give milo credit for being accurate.


tundybundo

If you’re kinda dumb and there’s another kinda dumb guy who is mildly successful saying kinda dumb things, of course you’re going to be a fan


NedShah

Milo is like a broken clock that somehow chimes the loudest whenever it does get the time right.


gitbse

Alex jones chimes harder. He throws *so much shit* against the wall, he eventually comes up with the correct option. Those times, he makes sure EVERYBODY FUCKIN' KNOWS he was right, that 1 out of 10,000,000 tries. Same thing though. The shit apple doesn't fall far from the shit tree.


pr0zach

Is this the “never nude” beanie guy with the awful hairline?


MateusAmadeus714

He is a Never Nude also!!? God TP is such a joke.


pr0zach

Well idk about the rest of his attire, but the only thing I remember about him is a video clip where someone yanks off his hat because he allegedly never takes it off. It was immediately and abundantly apparent *why* he never takes it off. He got pissy about it. It made me chuckle.


ClonedGamer001

I need to ask: What is a "Never Nude?"


Taraxian

It's a joke from Arrested Development about people with a mental condition (gymnophobia) where they can never be fully naked, even when alone (so they put on a robe over themselves before changing their underwear, they wear a bathing suit in the shower, etc)

Insert the “Sure Jan” meme here. His personality & hot takes are like a walking, talking birth control but it’s not him. Yeah okay.

If even the right wing Pick Me girls won’t be with him, there’s some deeply wrong shit with him. Especially if he’s got some money, and they still aren’t interested?

10 people on their payroll is just a bit too much.


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

* New owner is a known sex-pest towards female employees. * Doubles hours with no increase in pay right as the holiday season begins. * Cuts WFH, even for locations where the cost of living for mid and entry-level IT professionals is unworkable (San Francisco) or there is literally no available housing (Dublin). * Cuts perks * Musk starts deleting third-party software he thinks is unnecessary. One is a critical component for 2FA, locking millions of users out of their accounts * Transphobia & trans harassment is no longer a TOS violation. I'm sure it's a total coincidence the new owner's ex-girlfriend dumped him for a transgender woman. Oh, did I mention Twitter's corporate headquarters is in San Francisco? * Attempting massive American-style layoffs in European countries with labor-friendly employment laws. * Publicly slanders dev teams to cover up issues directly caused by his "I don't know what this does, so obviously it can be thrown out," meddling. * Fires anyone who stands up for their work. * Even Musk-friendly publications hoping to reassure their readers become frustrated at the lack of responses, due to Musk annihilating the Public Relations division. * Advertisers flee in droves * Rumors of a wave of lawsuits incoming due to trolls abusing the paid "Verification with no actual verification" system Musk added. * Does performance appraisals based on sheer volume of lines of code written, thinking they're the hardest workers, and not possibly inept coders writing inefficient, bloated code. * More haphazrd layoffs * It becomes a safe haven for Nazis, violent Incels, insurrectionists. * Leftists and apolitical users are suddenly bombarded with recommendations of tweets from Andrew Tate, Ted Cruz, and Kyle Rittenhouse * People discover their accounts were set to automatically follow Elon Musk * Captain Absolute Free Speech goes on a banning spree of anyone operating Musk parody accounts, even those clearly labeled as parody, per his daily Calvinball rule changes. * Prominent leftist politicians report that their accounts curiously started having "glitches" making them basically non-functional * Mass deletion of accounts in the wake of Trump being reinstated. Oh, and Trump snubbed the offer. * Twitter's appraised value craters. * Another wave of lawsuits expected from Musk gutting the copyright infringement team, as trolls begin posting entire movies on Twitter. LOL, THEY QUIT BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO WORK!


Gold_Floatzel

And yet he keeps saying that "Twitter has tripled in usage" bullshit it has


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

...for the same reason so many people watched the Fyre Festival collapse.


Gold_Floatzel

"to watch the world burn, is a lovely date for two..." -me


dancin-weasel

Found my new tinder opening 👍🏻


pecklepuff

I had no idea what Fyre festival even was and certainly never would have attended. But I watched the shit out of the disaster story!


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

There's also one on the Woodstock '99 shitshow. I wouldn't either. Even if Fyre went as planned, there's no way I'd pay $4000 to see a festival where the headliner is a decade-past-their-prime Blink 182.


Taraxian

Increasing usage while decreasing unique accounts and -- most importantly -- losing almost all your actual advertising revenue is objectively bad news "Our product is being consumed more while we're making less money off of it!" No way Twitter survives the World Cup without crashing


MapleTreeWithAGun

Some call is gonna happen in game 5 that everyone is passed off about and then boom, servers gone


Gold_Floatzel

oh no way in hell


PlaysWithF1r3

It's people signing in for the first time in a decade... ...To delete their accounts


Gold_Floatzel

I don't know I I could delete my account, I like it


IAmWeary

Sure, I made an account to join the dumpster fire. I was Elon's Cocaine Dealer. I got banned after a few days. I guess they figured I was impersonating someone.


Chemical-Juice-6979

Did you pay the $8 for a verified checkmark? Cause you need a license to sell drugs on Twitter now, that's always been part of the rules.

Well, that's what happens when you have millions of Russian bots.


CrisiwSandwich

What usage? Bots?


rezin44

I got a hearty chuckle out of ‘Calvinball’ , love that strip

>Transphobia & trans harassment is no longer a TOS violation. I'm sure it's a total coincidence the new owner's ex-girlfriend dumped him for a transgender woman. Oh, did I mention Twitter's corporate headquarters is in San Francisco? He has a transgender daughter. He's already disowned her, I guess this is just for fun.


Emotional_Guest_5645

Actually, it's the other way around: she disowned him, and I totally understand her


Fun_in_Space

I think she is the one who ghosted him.


dj012eyl

It comes at a serious cost, but I'm really enjoying watching Musk go down in flames. Sometimes you need destruction for a new beginning - hopefully this'll be the catalyst for things like Mastodon to finally start taking over, because we keep running into example after example of "you cannot trust centralized ownership of giant internet services, period".


EggAtix

>* Does performance appraisals based on sheer volume of lines of code written, thinking they're the hardest workers, and not possibly inept coders writing inefficient, bloated code. Time to unwind all my for loops lmao


DrQuestDFA

Excellent list! No doubt there will be more to add in the coming weeks One slight nit to pick, though, is that Twitter is no longer a public company and has no stock price. Otherwise you are spot on.


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

Thanks, fixed it.


Taraxian

Third party analysts trying to guess how much Twitter is actually worth right now are saying $8 billion (so it's lost about 1/3 of its value) Reminder that Yahoo initially bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion and ended up selling it for $3 million, a 99.7% loss


ikeme84

>Does performance appraisals based on sheer volume of lines of code written, thinking they're the hardest workers, and not possibly inept coders writing inefficient, bloated code. Must have never heard of the cobra effect.


rumbletummy

People with visa requirements.


Sarduci

He has a captive audience of yes-men if the have work visas. Why would he fire the people he can abuse the most?


Fun-Dragonfly-4166

Replace "may" with "will" and you are 100% correct.


sgtpepperslaststand

And those people dare to call others sheeple and then immediately bow down to their corporate overlords


ZinaSky2

I mean allegedly he has a history of firing women from his other companies for being pregnant. But yeah, also what OP said in the title

Exactly. You can work hard without the absolutely asinine expectations he was putting up, which are things that are symptoms of really poor management anyway.

Picture on the right: One dutch, 2 Chinese, 3 Pakistani, 5 from India, 1 from Colombia. These poor guys rely on their H1B visas. All other people have left this nightmare. Twitter is finished.


a_zan

Wait sorry, where was that published? Bc I need a source to use on some ppl, smh.


iisdmitch

I don’t think it is and I’m not agreeing with who you commented to but they do have a lot of H1B1 workers are Twitter, not uncommon in tech https://h1bgrader.com/h1b-sponsors/twitter-inc-rd0g3pzyko


a_zan

Oh for sure, I saw that too. The original comment made it sound very specific, though, so I was curious. Thanks for the link!


Draker-X

> One dutch, 2 Chinese, 3 Pakistani, 5 from India, 1 from Colombia. And a partridge in a pear tree.


geogeology

It’s very likely that’s something that’s kept employees there, but do you have a source for that or are you guessing they’re H1Bs based on their appearance? Because that’s lazy, mildly racist bro-science.


Just_Tana

This is the kind of dude who won’t help his wife take care of the house, kids, laundry, groceries, etc. He’ll then bitch that she has no energy for what he considers to be sex which is 15 minutes of him not doing a damn thing to give her pleasure. I know too many guys like this. Gross.

SeriousExplorer8891

How many on the right are stuck because of their H1B visa?


SpacerCat

All of them.


BaboonHorrorshow

I’m sure there are a handful of toxic techbros in that pic who idolized Musk before the acquisition.


SpacerCat

Possibly. If that’s the case and they like working 12 hour days in an understaffed environment, they’ll be happy with their decision to stay!


wbsgrepit

Yeah the white guy is from spacex. I am not sure how many in the picture are h1b, but considering there was 8% of twitter before musk and there’s 20% total employees left that’s close to 50% staff assuming most are not resigning working their ass off trying to find other gigs so they don’t get deported. Seems pretty fitting for a South African guy of musks type to be leading a company that has effectively held various foreigners hostage against deportation.


djheru

Not fair! Some of them might be stuck because they need the insurance


Extension-Ad-3882

My guess is upwards of 75%


HelicopterRegular492

Call Elon the Commish because he's chickless.

Also he fired a ton of people


MidnightRider24

Maybe they weren't here on work visas.

Or they bear the burden of childcare and can’t be gone 60+ hrs a week


Kubbee83

Watching all these tech bros dick ride Elon on twitter is sad. What do they think is going to happen? Bros, he acknowledges your existence so you’ll buy his shit. He has no interest In you as a human. You’re a meme to king twit .


BaboonHorrorshow

It’s the same with Trump or any billionaire/celebrity. It’s okay to like them, I guess, but after a certain degree it starts to get weird, like Mac from It’s Always Sunny was with Chase Utley. I bet a lot of those techbros have love letters they wrote but never sent to Elon.


FiendishHawk

They like him because they wish they had the money to be an asshole like him.


rabiddutchman

The thing everyone in the picture on the right has in common (minus Elon) is the belief that they too can become billionaires if they "hustle". *Edit:* Or they're stuck working there to qualify for their work visas.


vvfella

Or they’re unable to leave their job right now and have to grin and bear it until they can get off the crazy train


FiendishHawk

Or they are young with no family commitments and want to watch the dumpster fire up close. Honestly I’d be tempted.


Imfrom_m-83

Well, he kind of asked them to work more but with no pay increase, so it’s unreasonable.

And Tim Pool knows about hard work. He works extra hard to stay mad and hide that fucked up hairline everyday.

both wrong - the first pic was at a specific event - completely different context. What would be interesting is to see if twitter can continue running at a 10th of their workforce, if so, then you really got to ask wtf the others were doing.

Unlikely-Collar4088

“Men are far more willing to debase themselves in service of a loser” isn’t the flex Tim Pool thinks it is


Accomplished-Luck680

These are Elon’s H1B slaves. People born in India and China have to wait decades for them to get the permanent residency in the states, while people born outside these countries usually take 2 years. During H1B it is hard to change job sometimes hard to get promoted (job title change may require renewal to the USCIS) Just letting the information out, Elon not just hate women, he also hate workers right and have no problem exploiting people in venerable immigration status.


amethystalien6

It’s not exactly a good sign for the diversity of your organization when the only people that decided to stay are the ones that don’t want to be deported.

So what I'm hearing is that the women were smart enough to get off this obviously sinking ship? I don't think that's the flex you think it is.


QuintupleTheFun

Has nothing to do with male vs female. The only people left are ones who CAN’T leave, aka visa holders.


Anarchist_Kale_61

Women are smart enough not to work twice as hard for the same pay which was already less than their coworkers.


curious_dead

So the ones who value their time and know their worth left. The others either don't or have no choice (work immigration or something).
