According to a released article in Time Magazine, Twitter employees have drafted a letter containing several ‘demands.’ In addition to demanding they are not fired, they demand assurances against discrimination for their political beliefs.
(TIME) […] TIME reviewed a draft of the open letter circulating among Twitter employees on Monday. “Elon Musk’s plan to lay off 75% of Twitter workers will hurt Twitter’s ability to serve the public conversation,” said the draft of the letter, which has not yet been published. “A threat of this magnitude is reckless, undermines our users’ and customers’ trust in our platform, and is a transparent act of worker intimidation.”
The letter demands that Musk commits to preserving Twitter’s current headcount if his takeover of the company goes through. It also demands he does not discriminate against employees based on their political beliefs and that he commits to “fair” severance policies and more communication about working conditions. “We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires,” the list of demands says.

Safe Space Twits
Can anyone spot the straight white male?
the black guy on the left?
He is Indian. Twitter doesn’t hire black people
He’s Indian.
It’s a trick question. Twitter doesn’t hire straight white males.
They barely hire actual Americans.
The one taking the photo?
I think the children in the picture would be too terrified to be in the same room with a straight white male.
He is taking the photograph.
Cry harder, Twits…you are all about to get a taste of the real world. I suspect you won’t like it very much.
kind of hard as there is no “WHITE” male in the picture…..is this the diversity representing Twitter’s population?
So THAT’s the trick.
Screw twitter employees. Musk would be well advised to fire most of them.
They should be given the same level of consideration they gave President Trump and conservative voices.
I was banned from Twitter the same day as President Trump. Badge of honor!
I love my freedom:
Ditto
Elon Musk should go through the list of people that follow him. He would be shocked to see how many of his followers no longer have accounts aka ‘This account does not exist. That’s because Twitter shut them down without warning.
Interesting thought and a very good suggestion. I don’t know much about Elon Musk, yet I would venture to guess your suggestion would be something he would be interested in doing. I am fairly certain he is a curious person. Perhaps he has already done so. I am hopeful he is inclined to clean up the discrimination against conservatives on the twitter platform, in addition to reducing the workforce for business reasons.
Chutzpah of the Twitter Tyrants merits only mockery and even more extensive bloodletting.
Let the Schadenfreude begin!
Ja, schnell!
How ironic that these Twitter censors find themselves in the position of being cancelled. Wakey, Wakey, you woke rejects. This is what it feels like.
Hahahahaaaaahhahaahahaha…..
They are hard-nose bullies on the outside, and soft as mush on the inside.
Just like those bugs they want us to eat.
Hilarious! These pink haired eunuchs are still demanding participation trophies. I would pay my own expenses and would absolutely volunteer all the time needed to be the one who wacks these pieces of trash. “Severance package? ” ” OH yes, lets see here, we won’t oppose you applying for unemployment benefits from the state. Good day, thanks for playing”
yes, the reaction to firings should be youtubed.
they should….they are not being fired for “cause”…they are being released because their particular “talents” are no longer needed….it is called a change in corporate strategy/philosophy and requires a new type of workforce….happens every day
Ironic Karma that they laughed at being able to censor people, including the President, for their political beliefs. Now their jobs seem to be at risk for THEIR political beliefs. Oh, the irony of it all!
Though Communists should be discriminated against by laws that should be passed yesterday, these freaks aren’t being targeted because of their political beliefs, but because of their virtual political assassinations of their enemies.
They want it to be about what they think, to assume the virtuous victim state of those they themselves victimized, but it is indeed about what they have done and cannot be dissuaded from doing.
The part that made me gut laugh, and snort, was when they said they want their political beliefs protected! Yeah, I actually snorted!
The f’in gall of these snowflake, weak, little children is breathtaking.
No self awareness.
To all of you Twatter leftists= You clowns are about to be cancelled?? You had this one coming, and karma doesnt care about your feelings. 🙂
Looks good on you all! Enjoy snowflakes!
Oh the hypocrisy…..don’t fire us because of our political views…..but we’ll close your twitter because of your political views.
SMH
At least it never fails to get a big laugh. WE DEMAND! Wow, are they in lala land or what?
Does that include the right to continue hiring based on their political beliefs?
How about the right to continue censoring based upon their political beliefs?
I see that you speak fluent Bizarro World. 👍🏻
How about, “you have the right to remain silent………….!”
Learn to code. For real tho.
Soon enough it’ll be learn to grow.
What happened to not being the right”fit” for the company?
Oh… so now you care about the rights enshrined within the 1st Amendment and all.
Just stop digging your hole and embarrassing yourselves further.
Wasted effort probably to tell them to quit while they were ahead.
Ready the popcorn!
🍿 🍿 🍿
Saw this linked from Rantingly, apparently Elon Musk went into Twitter headquarters today carrying a sink! There’s gotta be a story there, is he planning on getting rid of everything including the kitchen sink (and bringing in a new one)?
It’s a lavatory bowl.
So perhaps an allusion to cleaning the place up?
Or washing his hands of the useless Twitter Tyrants?
The same video is posted here at CFP with some other funny stuff about all this.
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/elon-musk-to-close-twitter-deal-on-friday/
Definitely popcorn-worthy event. 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿
He’s buying the place. “Let that sink in.”
Ha… Or maybe that’s why all his employees have that sinking feeling…
It may supposed to be a kitchen sink as in “throw everything out including.”
Let that sink in…
Their beliefs are to discriminate against people who disagree with them. This is hypocrisy on a scale never before seen.
Good stuff
“Elon Musk enters Twitter headquarters in hilarious fashion…”

Musk Announces Plan To Reduce Twitter Workforce To Only 280 Characters
Babylon Bee:
https://babylonbee.com/news/musk-announces-plan-to-reduce-twitter-workforce-down-to-only-280-characters
Can’t Twitter just operate on AI?
Is this in the Babylon Bee? LOL
Fine. Everyone is fired. I’ll rehire based on merit and their willingness to actually work a normal business day/week/month.
That, I fear, would be a waste of time.
Just hire a whole lot of America Firsters and improve the virtual neighborhood.
Learn to Code ! Oh, you already can ? Then learn a trade and put in an honest day’s work.
Oh, to be one of “The Bobs” at
Initech… er- Twitter.Your services are no longer needed…oh, and we’re keeping the Swingline. Yeah, that’d be great!
Fire the vaxed so they don’t create a pandemic.
Quarantine the Vaxxed!
It gives one a different perspective on life after a firing or layoff. It is something in everyone’s career they need to experience, for their own good!
And the irony. Musk should offer to accept the demand on the condition that they rewrite it and send it to all woke corporations. We can provide the list.
Is there a clause that retains their right to fire non leftist employees?
yet they persecute and silnec others for their political beliefs. what goes around…….
“We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by woke employees.”
Twiter customers
So, they want to continue to discriminate, but not to be discriminated against them? Got it…
My reply would be, “Get out, and take your bots with you!”
Or as Lady Macbeth would say, “Out, damned bots!” 🙂
These snowflake soyboys demand not to be discriminated against based on their political beliefs! That is incredibly rich, even for these morons. They spend every minute of every day discriminating against the political opinions of people with different views, but when it comes to them personally they think they deserve protection. Musk should fire every one of them and then rebuild the company from the ground up.
My oh my. Lady Karma is one exacting bitch with an epic sense of humor. Fab-u-lous!
Fear, mixed with Projection, can be rather entertaining.
“………….they demand assurances against discrimination for their political beliefs.”
Will all users of twitter receive the same assurances?
Except they use those same political beliefs to ban people on Twitter. I got a permanent ban for a comment on Trans people.
Perhaps they should watch some reruns of “The Apprentice” for guidance.
“We DEMAND…!!!”
Or what, you’ll all quit?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Maybe that’s Musk’s plan all along?
If they quit they don’t get unemployment.
The sense of entitlement in that letter is absolutely infuriating…
Infuriating? Not that much. Predictable? Absolutely.
They didn’t sign their names. Hahahahahahaha
Sign my name? Like in cursive? Ohhhh…….I don’t know how to do that……..
HAAHAHAAAHAHAAA HHAHAHAAAHAHAHA! Wow, just wow. HAAHAHAAHAHAHA!
I personally think that Musk should fire 100% of the twatter employees and then dig a hole and bury the carcass.
It has destroyed the ability of non twitter addicts to participate in the conversation ( which well may have been the intent to begin with).
A good example is right here. A thread will start with a non described twit link and carry on with no mention of what the link is about, isolating non twits from gathering data or contributing. Hardly what I would call “inclusive”.
I won’t even go into the fact of contributing money to the enemy.
Fire them all and pass out applications with the pink slips. Everyone that starts over starts over with equity.
” they demand assurances against discrimination for their political beliefs”
Seriously.
The memes just continue to write themselves.
Here you go…

Ha… that list of “demands” by the Twitter employees to Elon Musk, their new boss and company owner, reminded me of the hilarious “demands” from a daffy bunch of philosophers in a Monty Pythonesque exchange in The Hitchhiker’s Guide To the Galaxy:
(V)–We demand that you cannot keep us out.
(Priest)–Who are you?
(M)–I am Majikthise [pronounced Magic Thighs].
(V)–And I demand that I am Vroomfondel.
(M)–You don’t need to demand that.
(V)–All right. I am Vroomfondel and that is not a demand, that is a solid fact. What we demand is solid facts.
(M)–No, we don’t. That is precisely what we don’t demand.
(V)–We don’t demand solid facts. What we demand is a total absence of solid facts. I demand that I may, or may not, be Vroomfondel.
(Priest)–Who are you?
(M)–We are philosophers.
(V)–Though we may not be.
(M)–Yes, we are!
One of the best science fiction novels ever written.
Yes! Douglas Adams was an absolute comic genius, who had an intriguing take on life, the universe, and everything. (And let’s not forget 42.)
I read a biography of him written by longtime friend Nick Webb after Adams had died. It was almost as much fun as reading Adams’ books. Terrific dry wit and one-liners, and great details and insights from someone who knew him well.

Report, Twitter Employees Draft Letter Demanding Assurances That They Will Be Able to Continue Discrimination Against Those Who Disagree With Their Political Beliefs
Ain’t that precious.
Bless their hearts
That will be meme soon enough like Ultra-MAGA Man.
Certainly an admission that they are acting in a partisan manner.
It sounds like an opportunity for a friendly face to face office meeting – with office policy / performance and behavior measuring tools ( digital footprint ).
Any questions?
( if the teleworkers can find time show up at the office )
Imho
Right because Twitter employees have had so much tolerance for people who go against their worktarded political beliefs. Karma is a bitch.
A big beautiful bitch!
Any of you every who have gone through a takeover, knew your time was limited. New owner does not want to here we used to.
it will be interesting to see how Musk handles the government. Internet, space, electric cars.
In the current political environment, Musk should have kept future intentions to himself instead of blowing off at the mouth.
” A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.” KJV Proverbs 29:11
He’s the owner and he can do what he wants with it. They can all go pound sand.
“ THEY demand assurances against discrimination for their political beliefs.”
Oh the hypocrisy…yet THEY discriminate against and deny conservatives their voice.
👍
True dat. Lol!
Oh? So now Twatter troglodytes “serve the public conversation?” Now it’s no longer private company can do what it wants?
Bite the big one ********!
They sever the public conversation.
