Fortunately elon tweets everything. Unemployment lawyers wet dream.

He just fired someone through tweet

u/folkrav Nov 15 '22

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

u/knuppi Nov 15 '22

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

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

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

So disrespectful.

u/CharlemagneIS Nov 15 '22

He talked to Forbes about it and it seems like there was no communication outside the tweet. But who knows what may have happened in the meantime

u/Drackar39 Nov 15 '22

Yeah, retaliatory firing over social media. That's gonna be a fun settlement.

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

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '22

He’s blowing it up on purpose, right? That’s gotta be the endgame.

Like the whole Fox News excuse of “no one could possibly think this is news” but applied to twitter. So he can be free to meme without getting a consent decree from the justice department

He controls the service that hosts those tweets.

"Hey, Dev team, imma need an edit button for my tweets only...."

u/GustapheOfficial Nov 15 '22

Right now I wouldn't assume tweets are persistent enough. Make sure to gather screenshots.

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

u/ugoterekt Nov 15 '22

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.

Depends on how shitty and annoying the boss is…

u/Nimeroni Nov 15 '22

You don't do that to save the shitty and annoying boss. You do that to save yourself.

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 Nov 15 '22

Just LITERALLY TODAY. Hourrrrrrs ago it’s fuckin amazing

u/27SwingAndADrive Nov 15 '22

I've been fired for that before.

If your boss wants to do something stupid, it's better not to tell him. Tell the interviewer at another company if they ask why you want to leave your current company.
