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.

As a retired HR guy, this is one situation I would gladly come off the sidelines for and volunteer to assist – to help with the exits of these disgusting people.
Karma x 100 !!
You gotta love their “demands”
Here’s your separation agreement buddy. Sign it and get a little something. Don’t sign it and get nothing. That’s how it works in the real world, where actual productive people work every day.
Knuckles would be quite handy administering that karma!
I saw something today that suggested Musk told his employees they could work from home, but just not for twitter.
Tongue in cheek, methinks, but I love the concept.
That is funny!
Please, please, please… pull the plug! Please, please, please… PULL THE PLUG!
25 years ago following a buy out, I was in the room when the new VP met with existing employees & laid out the ground rules and expectations moving forward . Afterwards he followed with, “It’s not for everyone, but it is for everyone who’s going to work here.” Has stuck with me ever since.
Gotta love it when the shoe is on the other foot, no?
In the world where real people produce things… most of them don’t get a severance package.
Most get to file for unemployment compensation on their earliest permissible date. That’s it.
This is Americas workforce, private and civil. All snowfake zombies.
I’m loving this image of the Karma these miscreants deserve. Thank you BareKnuckled. This is when being an HR consultant would be a true pleasure.
I’m suspended forever. Didn’t curse anyone, nor ever wish anyone dead as I’ve seen. Suggesting congress to send their kids to die in the war they were so keen to endorse was all tat was needed.
Me too… I called Michelle, my belle, a Communist. I was gone in 15 minutes!
You know, there is difference between Marxists and Communists. I can see where Moochell would be offended.
They permanently banned tens of millions of people just for supporting Trump .
Same here.
I got the Permanent ban for a comment on Trans people.
You should have seen my argument about “trans fats” and wondering why trans fat people aren’t offended.
Same here. Quoting Joy Behar whining about her trip to Italy possibly interrupted by any war in Ukraine and saying we should hurry and send sons to die so it doesn’t happen was enough.
I was banned for life bc I followed conservative blue checks. I never even posted. Apparently my mind might have been taken over by free thinkers. Whatever.
I suggested some Lib Politicians should “avoid Grassy Knolls”.
yes, I was banned.
So the same people who “cancel” others for their beliefs don’t want to be fired for their own. Too bad, so sad. But in commieland, Musk should be discrete about firing anyone over ideology. I recommend that Musk make all Twitter offices ring with loud non-stop PTL Club reruns, unlimited Rush Limbaugh greatest hits, and endless loops of Trump rallies on giant screens until all the Lefties pay him to let them quit.
I think that the employees arrogance is due to the belief that the Biden administration will intervene and hold up the sale through the Treasury Department if Musk attempts to implement his changes.
Too late! Within 48 hours their little socialist fiefdom will come to an end.
Trump stated he will never go back.
George Takei couldn’t win in battle against a small child. He is a frail soy boy.
Beam him down Scottie.
ROTFLMFAO¡!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!//!/!!!!!!!!!
Unlike how Twitter employees treat their customers— who are discriminated against for opinions not share by Twitter employees. They demand same think or be banned.
The censorship and propaganda of twitter contributed to mass fatalities and suffering affecting millions over the last 2.7 years of the plandemic.
If safe effective early treatments had not been suppressed, the plandemic could have been ended mid-2020. Twitter was part of that suppression with its censorship and false “fact-checks”.
If the unsafe ineffective experimental shots had not been pushed with suppression of information on harms, millions could have been spared. Twitter was part of that suppression.
And last but not least: How many were coerced to take the shots under threat of job loss? How many lost jobs because they stood firm against the medical experimentation? Twitter was part of making that happen, by their propaganda and censorship.
And its STILL not over, the government is STILL pushing shot mandates – federal employees, contractors, CMS. OSHA is trying to make permanent shot requirement rules.
No sympathy for twitter employees facing job loss now.
With all that said: Who knows what’s really behind the Musk twitter acquisition? Things are not what they seem these days.
I hope Musk only bought the assets and not the corp and its liability
Essentially, the twit employees admit bias and want to be shielded from the consequences of that bias. Quite arrogant.
Have you ever met a lefty who was not arrogant? It’s conform or die with these folks.
assertive arrogance is a fat less expensive investment than intellectual, skills or character development. they chose the short path to power and now it’s a short path back to powerlessness.
had they invested themselves better, they would have been harder to stop.
useful to useless idiots in a matter of days.
This is rich – employees demanding they be treated differently than the employees treat commenters on Twitter.
I’d fire them all and start fresh. Talent pool in the Bay Area no doubt leaves much to be desired. Maybe Musk should move the company to Oklahoma!
Or maybe Bismarck, ND? I understand ‘woke’ snowflakes can not stand the cold.
SD or East Tx
OR TEXAS WHERE HE LIVES!
Yes, but Austin is overgrown and not the old cow town it once was.
I’m thinking Texas…but I have a bias.
Lots of space here in North Dallas, growing like a weed.
That dang girl should’ve copyrighted that face. She would have become a capitalist!
I thought it was a female until about a year ago when I started seeing some different shots of that person besides that famous one. I thought, “That’s a guy!”
I’m not 100% sure about the guy part, but in the images I saw I was pretty sure that it was a guy who was a living warning of the side effects of too much soy in the diet.
I could be wrong, but who knows?
This **** was mourning Killary’s loss.
Pretty sure it’s a genetic female, though very much along the line of SNL’s “That’s Pat.”
Elon fixing This Old House… major league remodeling at Twitter is now underway.
Including the kitchen sink!
I am certain he will give you all the protections you afforded conservatives.
Could Musk find the memos or whatever (and who ever) was behind interfering with the 2020 Presidential Election
-banning / dissing
President Trump’s
twitter account???

VERY SOON…
I’m back, bitches!
maybe not… but trump can.
It’s all on the servers, I would think…perhaps. like the voting software Konnech IP addresses resolve in China…?
Rich.
These SJW twerps have off the charts hypocrisy. They demand that they be treated in a manner that they themselves don’t apply to others. It’s the “self esteem is a human right” generation. Fire them all and do let the door hit them in the ass.
Now that’s ironic.
Elon Musk barges into Twitter HQ as deal nears: ‘Let that sink in’
https://nypost.com/2022/10/26/elon-musk-barges-into-twitter-headquarters-as-deal-nears/
“Billionaire Elon Musk carried an actual sink into Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters during a surprise visit Wednesday ahead of his expected acquisition of the company.
Musk shared a video laughing while lugging the sink into the lobby – two days before his court-ordered deadline to close a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter or face a trial. Earlier in the day, the Tesla boss changed his Twitter bio to “Chief Twit.”
“Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!” Musk tweeted alongside the nine-second video.
In a memo to staffers, Twitter chief marketing officer Leslie Berland revealed that Musk would be on site at the company’s headquarters throughout the week. Musk is also expected to personally address employees on Friday.”
Trolling at its best!
^^^^^
PULLING THE PLUG!
Clearing out everything but the kitchen sink.
draining the swamp
“Let that sink in”…And not just any sink…..a White…..Vitreous…..China….sink!
LOL…..yes…trolling at its best INDEED. 🙂
I quickly read this as a white…..virtuous…..sink. Knew then I was off subject.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Self deleted.
I read somewhere recently that most twitter employees work about one day a week and get paid for 5.
If this is true, then Jack’s magic coffee shop was truly magical and Musk should be firing 80%, not 75%.
I also read that Musk’s plan is to make twitter more like the social credit score app used in china, not a free speech platform.
I am not convinced that Musk is a white hat.
I suppose we shall see …
!
I’m convinced musk is destroying Twitter. I’m good with that for now.
I assume he has a transformation plan for potential profit, not just $44bn of patriotism, however he might define patriotism.
So, Twitter employees have a plan to deal with Elon Musk….Mike Tyson’s famous line, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth,” The legendary boxer, before his fight with Evander Holyfield, was asked if he was worried about his opponent’s plans…Twitter employees do not want to make Elon, their opponent. It won’t end well for them.
Pardon me; I’m going to be laughing for the next 48 hours!
They can learn “coding” as someone suggested
Just might have to activate my twitter account. FB? Not a chance in Hell! When the books get looked into, maybe Jack is in it up to his eyeballs! The coffee shop won’t be so magical!
when Musk et al find Jack’s magic beans, they may need to call DEA unless NSA/CIA interupts…
ROTFLOL ^ 12
Incredible… flat out incredible.
As a real engineer with decades of experience, mass layoffs are excellent.. you get 2 months free work (paid without working) plus 6 months severance cash plus vacation accrued.
So, you kick back for three months and get a job. So at the end of the year you got paid for 17 months!
But, I figure these snowflakes are not gonna get jobs other than flipping tacos, if they learn mexican, that is.
What you describe sounds like what is supposed to happen when mass layoffs trigger the Warn Act.
Apparently the companies that performed the layoffs you experienced didn’t have clever HR departments like the companies that I have worked for.
The companies I experienced would do rotating layoff around the various departments and organizations with numbers too low to trigger the Warn Act layoff requirements with a couple of months between the layoffs. You could watch the layoffs cycle around the company and you could predict when your organization was going to get a bunch of pink slips. Over the course of a year or year and a half, many thousands got laid off with no Warn Act benefits.
People laid off got like 1 week notice and no severance. They would only support the laid off by not contesting an employees application for unemployment benefits if the person being laid off would sign a legal document promising to not sue the company for wrongful termination. No signature and they would say you were fired, so you couldn’t get unemployment.
The companies did this several times over the years and never triggered the Warn Act or got busted for illegally bypassing the Warn Act.
these companies must have made large ‘donations’ to democrats.
“watch your hubcaps for a Dollar, Mister”, on steroids.
(we won’t investigate or prosecute id you ‘donate’ to the proper dem campaigns and ‘foundations’)
As a nurse, we got nothing
Not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but the sink photo seems more like a photoshop job. Regardless, the irony is pretty much lost on the snowflake employees.
His next step should be to FedEx all of the former employees a cheap, four inch tall, fake gold plate trophy with “Thanks For Participating!” printed on the plaque.
Not photoshop. It’s a still from a video where you can see him walking in with it.
Twitter employees demand assurances against discrimination for their political beliefs.
Uh, haven’t Twitter employees spent their entire time at Twitter discriminating against other peoples political beliefs? Like they say “Karma can be different.”w
Lol
What a joke. Such entitled little brats. You were hired by Twatter, not the other way around. It’s time they understand that this place is “under new management” and the old rules do not apply.
A promise that they won’t be persecuted for their political beliefs?
Now who is privileged? They’ve done nothing but that for the last 10 freakin’ years (at least).
This is proof that you cannot and should not tolerate Leftists and Progressives in your life or business. Even though there are probably some who are not completely lacking rationality, the risk is just too great to even let them through the door.
not persecuted, fired.
however if anyone leaks an employee list, that might be interesting
eet the new boss. . .not the same as the old boss. Gonna be fun to watch. If I were Elon I would be wary of what the government might do once he closes.
Everyone that signed that ridiculous letter should be fired with a simple tweet. I suggest the following: Your services no longer needed; you are cancelled as of “date”, after that date you are trespassing and will be arrested.
That’s Rich.
Twitter employees are going to learn who signs their paychecks.
…Even though they were discriminating against others for THEIR political beliefs???
Bunch of crybabies.
The delusional arrogance of the neo-Marxists “employed” at Twitter is something to behold.
These people are functionally clueless about life in 2022.
Sack them all, show no mercy, have security escort them out of the building 9amPT on Friday…or if remote workers, just simply pull the plug on these losers and forget that they ever beclowned themselves with their baseless hubris and wasted all of our time with their meaningless existence.
BREAKING: ELON TELLS TWITTER EMPLOYEES THEY CAN WORK FROM HOME JUST NOT FOR TWITTER
https://mobile.twitter.com/zerohedgeparody/status/1585255410272854017
Change all the Twitter software Admin passwords and check to
make sure that none of the fired Twitter employees made any
software Backdoors into Twitter.
LOL . Those fools are in no position to negotiate anything!
Essentially threatening to unionize when the CEO says he’s gonna fire all of them. That means YOU have no leverage. NONE. Idiots.
As this is a leaked copy of an as yet unsigned letter, the question begs as to how many of those little twits will have the guts to sign it knowing it will mark them as some of the first to go?
And the other questions is: Did it get leaked in the hopes Musk would not fire them, so they didn’t have to sign it?
I would respond “I will be as nondiscriminatory as you have been to others.”
If the twatter really was a government entity, then why are they really selling it to Musk?
And as Musk is heavily involved in businesses with the government, then how can this be a true positive???
The beast has many tentacles. They don’t need this one any more.
“they demand assurances against discrimination for their political beliefs.”
Leftists just do not comprehend the meaning of hypocrisy.
When the inmates believe they run the prison.
Since Musk is going to be the sole owner of Twitter, he has every right in the world to tell the writers of that letter to Go. Pound. Sand!
Strat popping your popcorn, guys.
Musk is hunting . it’s not so fun when the rabbit’s got the gun . good luck Twitter critters
R.D.
I have just one word about their demands: hilarious!
Well, the employees must have learned how important they are at University….
Whole thing pretty hilarious!
Call me skeptical but nothing will change at the company’s culture going forward. This is about the Intel community superficially preserving one of their most valuable propaganda outlets globally by restoring a modicum of “impartiality” to the network.
My guess is the CIA and Pentagon have too much invested in Twitter’s operations, and find it produces too much valuable intel, for them to just let it go.
Probably a salvage operation by the Deep State after they deepsixed President Trump’s primary communications platform.
