Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Musk sign here or leave by 5 pm...

The deep state (intelligence community) has funded and supported Jack's magic coffee shop for years to stifle free speech and sway public opinion.
Musk is forcing their hand.

When Phil has outsmarted Elon we need to pay attention and not before

liberalism is a mental disorder

Lol, the little twits don't like reality do they.

They should apply at Facebook and Amazon...

I’m not sure why you are seeing it as a gamble. Anyone could sign. It seems that his intent is as exactly as stated. Stay if you’re onboard and take a three month severance package if you’re not.

Everyone’s replaceable, never think that you’re not.

WTF is 4BB and !BB? Barebacks? Butt Buddies? Butt Bundles?

do we need an internal Slack channel here on the 'fire?

What’s the worst that could happen to a social media platform?….it shuts down for a few days while it’s tuned up? It ain’t like police or fire or ER’s going on strike, it’s a stupid social media platform and nothing more.

In that case you should actually read “Atlas Shrugged”.

If you spent more time with accountants and less at gay bars you'd be better equipped to figure it out.

It will be hilarious when he proves that Twitter will work with about five employees.

The negative comments in that article, as voiced by some of those refusing to sign and persist, have the ring of whining by spoiled brats who never have needed to toil hard and long and who expect to have goodies handed to them. Their attitudes and comments are a very sad sign of the times in this culture.

Work is work in its several facets, as quite distinct from having a "position" or being "employed". Those who understand ownership, are rewarded by meeting firm expectations and produce good work in exchange for their pay are the ones who will make that company - and some others - noble and successful far into the future. (Work and the Nature of Man, Herzberg, 1966)

How many times have you heard - or said - "give me a few great workers/troops/people instead of this horde of lazy ragtag whiners', etc.? That is gospel in capitalism, war, sane society.

Musk may or may not succeed as planned, but he understands human nature and is bold enough to stake out his territory. But, why were some of the same crybabies given a big severance check?

What skill set is needed to work at Twitter? They don't have a tangible physical product. The content isn't provided by Twitter either. It's just a platform. Cutting dead weight overhead is probably overdue.

Heck, Rick Bin probably has the qualifications to put in an application to Elon.

It’s brilliant and only if you are a liberal you don’t like it. Let me guess, you are a liberal . . . this stuff is too easy.

Those useless employees are a about to learn a lesson about capitalism.... so is the Facebook crew, Amazon etc... get woke go broke is real and they are gonna feel the pain

One thing I learned when I was messing around programming is that less than 5% of the programmers write more than 90% of the code.

Lots of chaff.

At its heart it a simple [bleep] database. The current codebase , servers, data centers etc already exist. The 80/20 rule applies to these employees. Most of them are useless.

If you think what you are reading there is honest, objective or accurate reporting you are pretty gullible. I am pretty sure Musk made that ultimatum with those type of reactions in mind. An easy purge of problem employees.

Well said.

I’d loved to have had everything handed to me but having struggled and had to get up to an alarm clock and do physical work to support myself and family made me a more resilient person with some perspective for it.

I work with a lot of younger guys that prize personality above all else. That took a while for me to understand, that in their minds if they’re funny and outgoing, and “nonjudgmental.” Basically nice. That should trump hard work and give them a fast track to promotions over actual productivity. It’s almost a junior high view of the world for guys that are 30 years old. “I work hard at not judging anything and being popular so I shouldn’t have to work hard at being productive.”

The entitled liberal fascist pricks cannot accept that they aren’t the most special people on the world.
I mean who’s going to silence dissent to their oppression program.
