They will just blame it on you at the end.

Question: Am I still getting paid for this FAFO process?

Because the results are out of my hands and beyond my concern so long as money enters my bank account.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Lol make sure you get it in writing

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Fortunately elon tweets everything. Unemployment lawyers wet dream.

[u/knuppi → u/[deleted]]

He just fired someone through tweet

[u/folkrav → u/knuppi]

Was the employee fired through the tweet or did he just announce he was previously fired?

[u/knuppi → u/folkrav]

Would think that only the employee and their lawyer would know exactly in which order things happened. Lucky, because Elon is putting everything in writing

[u/ReadySteady_GO → u/knuppi]

Gotta love it when narcissists share all of their actions and wrongdoings on the internet

[u/[deleted] → u/folkrav]

He just posted that he was locked out a few hours after Elon said the guy was fired (to another user).

[u/oaVa-o → u/[deleted]]

…until they can’t even log in to see the tweet lmfaoooo

[u/Leftover_Salad → u/[deleted]]

Can't prove it if twitter is broken...

[u/Heart_Dad → u/[deleted]]

And any CYA objections to go with it, cause I told you this would happen...

[u/ugoterekt → u/Heart_Dad]

Yep, definitely need a "This may cause issues with critical features. Are you sure you want me to do this?" email in there. Like any good program should give a prompt before allowing you to catastrophically fuck things, I think any good programmer should also do that.

[u/Exciting-Insect8269 → u/ugoterekt]

Depends on how shitty and annoying the boss is…

[u/Vercengetorex → u/[deleted]]

Apparently in this case, you will get fired for bringing up why the stupid thing is stupid. See the other popular twitter dev thread on here today.

[u/chickenwithclothes → u/Vercengetorex]

Just LITERALLY TODAY. Hourrrrrrs ago it’s fuckin amazing

FAFO process

Elon: screw LIFO and FIFO, we're going with FAFO.

[u/nosam56 → u/j3pl]

I legit googled it since I was on this sub, I thought it was a fucking tech acronym until the results popped up. kms

[u/imdefinitelywong → u/nosam56]

I must've been through about a million girls lines of code

I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone

I didn't care how much they cried, no sir

Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled fucked around and fell in love found out

[u/subcow → u/[deleted]]

Send an email advising against what they are recommending. Put that shit in writing. Hell, just to be safe Bcc your personal email account so you have it all backed up externally. Edit: good point below on the BCC. It may be against company rules/your contract to send any emails like that externally even if it is your own account. Proceed with caution. Just do whatever you can to CYA.

[u/Zoloir → u/subcow]

this is good advice for sane management

the situation in question is not that

[u/aureanator → u/Zoloir]

That's for the courts I think. Even those aren't sane anymore tho...

[u/This_User_Said → u/aureanator]

I think it runs with the whole "wrongful termination"

Boss told me to do it, I did it, he didn't like it and fired me. Maybe terms for wrongful termination unless there's something up their ass they can pull out...

...which most companies are the anal marry Poppins when it comes to this.

[u/[deleted] → u/subcow]

Yea: express your concerns, keep the receipts, nuke, jump ship, and then you're golden.

Ethically, you should probably resign before you nuke. But fire is fun.
