What if those employees have gained the hatred of well over half the nation; and set up a system where they can do nothing but drink wine and attend yoga classes for half the day?
This is a long-awaited reckoning.
This is a long-awaited reckoning.
People have been embarrassing themselves trying not to directly say this (“actually making engineers print out their code changes on paper is good management”, etc.)
They had, quite literally, objectively, built a system where they could do almost nothing, their platform didn’t need to innovate in any way and could continue losing money indefinitely, and they could (as stated) drink wine and do yoga all day.
In which case, they had it coming. Sorry, not sorry. You can’t continue losing money and handing out unlimited wine forever at the bar. Cry me a river when that inevitably had to end.
Any Twitter employee should have been able to figure out that a business can’t have crazy perks, almost no new features, declining market share, and constant financial losses, without something having to give.
I would suggest that you get a job at a better place. I suspect you’d feel better about yourself.
There's a lot of bad takes floating around, but "Twitter employees deserve it" is really unfair.
