Just stop paying
Elon Musk is saving Twitter from going broke by not paying the rent. That should work.
Over the past few weeks, Twitter had stopped paying millions of dollars in rent and services, and Mr. Musk had told his subordinates to renegotiate those agreements or simply end them. The company has stopped paying rent at its Seattle office, leading it to face eviction, two people familiar with the matter said. Janitorial and security services have been cut, and in some cases employees have resorted to bringing their own toilet paper to the office.
Don’t pay the rent; don’t buy toilet paper. The future looks bright!
Those cuts may be yielding consequences. On Wednesday, users around the world reported service interruptions with Twitter. Some were logged out, while others encountered error messages while visiting the website.
All that and no toilet paper.
Mr. Musk’s erratic and hands-on style has thrown off a number of workers, as he often interrupts meetings seemingly at random, talking for long stretches and asking some top leaders to be sounding boards for his ideas, two people familiar with his management of Twitter said.
Erratic, hands-on and narcissistic – people who talk for long stretches are the worst.
[T]he training process for new employees has been significantly reduced, cutting to 90 minutes what was once three days of orientation that included information on compliance with privacy and security agreements with global regulators, three people said.
Yes, from three days to 90 minutes is indeed significant. 90 minutes is barely enough to show the new employees where to store their toilet paper stash.
This can’t end well.
With a track record like this, he’ll be running for President. Worked for the TFG.
See above.
But the important thing is that you can spread vaccine disinformation wthout any worry of fact-checkers getting in the way, or what Bari Weiss refers to as censorship.
I never go to Twitter. By not going there, I suppose I help Musk economise on dunny paper. I also suppose that that could be classified as ‘help that can’t be helped.’ Or maybe for ‘the shit that never was.’
Could be a world first. But then again, the number of twitterati who have forsaken twitter is probably growing exponentially. So likely not.
When a public figure goes off the rails like this, I wonder when their drinking or drug-taking is going to be mentioned.
When DJT created his own ersatz Twitter, after the real thing banned him, I expected DJT’s app would have a limited appeal and scope of influence compared to the Twitter giant. Maybe Musk is in on a plot to make DJT’s little megaphone much more significant.
Heh…story from…I can’t remember where from…anyway…
Some company looking to cut costs. Big meeting. President (a man) suggests not stocking the women’s toilet with hygiene products. A woman at the table explains that whenever she visits a company, she makes it a point to use the toilet. If the tampon dispenser is empty, she knows the company is on the skids.
Sounds like Tesla has blown right past that stage…
As someone who suffers through multiple meetings a day now, I cannot emphasize how freaking annoying it is when someone hijacks the podium and blathers on about unrelated topics. If this were my workplace, and the boss came blundering in like that, I’d get up and walk out (telling him to go fuck himself as I left).
