Twitter closes offices until Monday as employees quit in droves

So despite telling employees that the office was closed until Monday and that badges had been deactivated, Elon called a meeting on the 10th floor for 2 pm.

Also, he announced that Twitter will begin shadowbanning certain posts.

It's so funny to see him reinvent all the systems Twitter already had in place.

Lolz I know right, musk sucks and so does freedom.

I'm rooting for Klaus schwab and the WEF (aka NWO) to win the fight and turn us all into slaves with social credit, vaxx passports, and digital dollar.

Can't wait!

Did you miss the context of that quote? The context is of course that there will be applause for firing over refusing to follow the established business policies....YET.... condemned for following following the established business policies of the previous owner.

Didn't miss anything, I just understand the concept that individuals are or should be capable of discerning the difference between right and wrong.

I wonder if I should apply.

Are there openings on "Indeed"?

You could apply as long as you are not woke.
The platform tries to normalise itself...

Define "woke" in this instance.

Does it mean you accept people for their differences -- as long as they "kick butt" on their job?

There are synonymous phrases and names describing 'woke'

Left wing activists
Green activists
Climate change ideologists
Transgender ideologists
Greta Thunberg as a great example.
And many lefties of this world...

I was on an interview a year ago that put the "woke" agenda in the work force into prospective for me.

The interview was more of a formality. It was for the job I had already been doing; salary and promotion playing catch up to the responsibilities the company had already given me several months earlier. The position was created for me and I was likly the only one who would apply for it. But as a matter of fairness and due diligence the position had to be posted and interviewed for. In otherwords it was a no pressure interview.

So the interview went well. It was a panel interview over zoom with the director I had already been working for; the company cheif of staff; and an independent director from another discipline. The questions where all pretty fluff and could easily be answered by anyone in my position; more to do with management soft skills and company dynamics than the hard skills of my vocation.

So at the end of the interview while the chief of staff was telling me what to expect for the rest of the process. She tells me not to worry if I don't hear from them for a week or so because they were obligated to keep the position open a certain amount of time and actively make sure that they weren’t excluding minority group cabinets.

In this case they weren't bypassing a more qualified minority candidate given the fact that I was going to be the only candidate. But good on the company for trying to make sure they are doing the right thing even when they didn't really have to.

So after hearing this I offer up what I thought would be helpful information. I explain to them how I'm Disabled and how I think its great that they are taking inclusion seriously as it will help other people like me.

The conservation got awkward after that. Not loss the job awkward, but still awkward. In a manner not wanting to offend me; the chief of staf explains that when she said their rules are ment to protect minority group candidate, the only groups they are interested in are people of color and women. Not wanting to sour a non-interview for a job I already had I left it at that.

But for me that is what "woke" is. Its not about trying to right systemic wrongs; its about the majority group doing the bare minimum to make themselves feel better about themselves. Sure on the surface the "woke" crowd say the right things; but in practice most are just following the crowd and doing what the majority now think is hip. They would gladly trade the old repressive system for a new one that is just as repressive with themselves at the top.

Elon Musk owns several companies and he runs them all with the attitude, hire 5 people work them like 10 pay them like 8. That is he expects a lot of his employees but rewards them for the work and talent he accrues.

Mathematical thats not rewarding at all. 5 people working as efficiently as 10; but only getting paid as if they are 8 people means they are being underpaid in relation to their work output.

Nope. Not if a person agrees to a specified salary as fair and is willing to work for it. I can guarantee you for sure that there are plenty of people (and brilliant people with the same skill sets) that are willing to work for much less than what those Twitter people were getting paid, and be perfectly happy with it.

are or should be

And that's a crux of it right there don't ya think? That ''should be part''? It's wishful thinking that we should be capable of that kind of discernment. It's my observation that we demonstrate more than enough examples of an inability to discern right from wrong as to make it nearly moot. On top of that this concept of ''right and wrong'' is so, so, ah, relative anyway. But likely you don't see it that way.

Now your just making stuff up.

You can guarantee for sure that brilliant people with the same skill sets would be willing to work for much less than those Twitter people?

How do you guarantee such a statement; have you done or read an analysis on the subject that proves this? Do you even know the skill sets of the people choosing to leave?

And why would "brilliant" people be willing to work for much less than what the market was paying "mediocre" people? Even if the mediocre people were being overpaid wouldn't the brilliant people want to make more than the normal correct salary for mediocre person?

I find it interesting how apparently the majority of the world is supposedly being put down by places like Twitter in regards to free speech yet you only hear on the internet in specific areas about people complaining about it.

Yes, it is interesting. Either everyone who disagrees with the "official narratives" voluntarily is restricting themselves to specific Internet sites (highly, highly unlikely) or the areas where they congregate are the only places left where they feel comfortable speaking their minds without fear of being punished for their opinions.

Anyone who considers themselves a "liberal" should be aghast at that second (and by far most likely) possibility. After all, the rallying cry of liberalism was once "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Anyone not aghast at that possibility is NOT a "liberal"... they are a fascist.

Those are not labels I came up with, nor am I claiming to control how they are applied. Those are the definitions.

Again, nope, didn't make any of that up.

Also the argument stands. There are people that are perfectly content with working hard for more pay. There are plenty of people where the boss says I'll give you a certain amount of money for the work I am requiring, that are perfectly content. It isn't rocket science (no pun intended).

No, it's simple fact.

Those who are not capable are incapable by choice. They choose to stick their head in the sand.

It's my observation that we demonstrate more than enough examples of an inability to discern right from wrong as to make it nearly moot.

It's only moot to those who choose to see it that way. It isn't moot. It is simply evidence of being brain washed.

On top of that this concept of ''right and wrong'' is so, so, ah, relative anyway. But likely you don't see it that way.

You're right, I don't because I am capable of discerning right from wrong.

Not all free speech platforms are like ATS, they are muddled up with crazy conspiracy theories with no push back or full of racist and misogynistic circle jerks, mostly aimed at jews, and black people.

I highly doubt you've been to those parts of the internet. And if you did I'd probably guess you'd never go back since it's full of idiots. When you talk about classic liberalism and defending free speech you're romanticizing an era when people had to face each other in the real world and see expressions and hear tones of voices in real time. The internet doesn't allow that. It takes away the human element.

I don't think that the woke culture or those who have adopt it say the right things. It's rather different as they are trying to follow the flow they have created and they are usually at odds with common sense and reality as well as with basic facts.

On a reply a few pages back I gave an example where Twitter banned several accounts of women (adult female humans) who criticised the transgender ideology by stating basic facts i.e that transgender women are men.

Twitter does support this woke culture, and an integral part of it, is the transgender ideology. Stating facts and being gender critical is now considered an 'offence' or even 'hateful' comments. The woke culture is entangled with the left and usually the radical left.

Which are these platforms that you describe on your first paragraph?

Can't wait!

I am sure that if a social credit system with digital IDs was to be discussed and debated many of these social platforms will be pushing it like crazy and argue how on Earth someone can't accept it. What kind of crazy conspiracy theorist won't accept it? What is wrong with these people? They didn't accept lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations and now they don't accept a social credit system with digital IDs which is made for their own good. The greater good!!

I agree that he thought or thinks he can make it into a profit center for himself.

Who else would he make a profit for? Someone who didn't invest all that money?

But believing that he would be doing this because he wants to give the world a platform for free speech seems a bit Saviorish to me.

"Saviorish"?

I find it quite interesting that you would make the assumption that anyone who would pursue a personal agenda that actually might be of benefit to others instead of hurting others must be in the same league as the only Savior. That reference is quite offensive.
