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.

Open letters to the CEO and Board of Directors wether an individuals statement or a petition of sorts never bodes well. Corporations are not democracies they are dictatorships. Merely bad mouthing your employer publicly is the equivalent of walking yourself to the gallows. You will also find yourself blacklisted by other companies if they find out you did something like that. Nobody wants to hire an employee that’s going to attack their employer in the public square.
Which is why I posted elsewhere on this thread the question: How many of these wokester warriors are going to put their careers on the line and sign it. I personally feel it got leaked in the hopes of “scaring” the board and Mr. Musk.
I suspect that the board and Mr. Musk are going to be laughing to the point of passing out.
God, I hope and pray that Musk is for real!
Fired worker: “You’re firing me because I voted for Hillary.”
EM: “I’m firing you because you’re always late to work, you’re lazy, deceitful, and insubordinate; you gossip and complain all the time, and you shadow-ban Tweets you don’t agree with.”
Fired worker: “See! I told you so! You’re firing me because I voted for Hillary.”
btw, some of your readers actually died due to your censorship in addition to all those abused…
Agreed. Twitter suppressed valid information on the effective treatments for COVID, and the risks of the dangerous MRNA experimental drugs. Legitimate, skilled, and experienced doctors and researchers expressing concerns and giving information about these were banned from the platform. Twitter was and is colluding with Big Pharma to deny people valid information that could have saved lives. These workers not only deserve a pink slip, but they deserve a spot in Hell.
Couple months ago, when the leftist crybabies were first upset that Musk might buy the company, there were reports about how some employees were really goldbricking, doing only 2 days worth of work in a 2-week pay period or 3 to 4 days’ work in a month
They were laughing and bragging about it in company email or to each other at lunch
Thought I would have saved that in one of my files but can’t find it
Anyone remember that? Anyone have a link or suggestions for keywords to search?
I’ll search for links with – who’s the guy who’s been doing exposes on Dems? I recall it might have been that kind of eavesdropping … O’Keefe
For now I ran across this, but this isn’t the outright bragging about goldbricking that I recall

still haven’t found exactly what I’m after, but I turned up this very good article on how Twitter shadow-bans, throttles, and blocks your content – even among your friends and followers

Twitter’s algorithms for political censorship target language and images — such as “America” and the American flag
Censorial algorithms at Twitter, said O’Keefe, associate certain terms and sentiments with automated behaviors
… finds correlative words associated with people like the Breitbart audience. So if you post about guns, if you like the American flag, if you use the word ‘America,’ if you are a self-described ‘redneck,’ they actually target these people.
These are not racists, or white supremacists, or Nazis — these are just moderate conservative ideas.”
Twitter surveils and monetizes — through automated probing and employee monitoring — information within direct messages sent by its users across its platform, said O’Keefe: “They’re sharing your girlfriends’ [and] wives’ private pictures you give, you know,
people send direct messages on Twitter thinking they’re private, it’s actually not. They can store it in a database, and these engineers are bragging about selling it to advertisers, looking at them, sharing them with your exes and [others].”
O’Keefe commented on Twitter’s use of shadow banning and assorted measures to minimize targeted users’ engagement across its platform:
“This is probably the biggest invasion of privacy,” surmised O’Keefe.
While denying its use of shadow banning, Twitter acknowledges that is “limit[s] tweet visibility” on its platform
Twitter’s political culture, concluded O’Keefe, resembled a “Soviet” mentality opposed to free speech and expression:
Twitter’s user base should be made aware of the depravity of Twitter employees with access to the company’s users’ data, said O’Keefe:
“These people are perverted, and they’re twisted, and they’re deranged, and they’re saying so on these video tapes.”
I do remember that but unfortunately,
I did not save it either.
Emotional vampires are shapeshifters, they present themselves in many forms, but can’t avoid feeding.
They announce themselves.
LOL… good comment. But you forgot to include that the plaintiff has found 100 scumball lawyers that want to file a lawsuit over “discrimination “.
True, if twitter was a business. Talent management requires professional experience.
If your talent manager is an energy or emotional vampire, they will hire the same to protect them. These vampires will suck the life-force out of your company, your employees, and in this case, they will suck the life force out of your customer’s(advertisers?) target market.
Twitter is a feeding ground for these emotional and energy vampires because they provide a steady flow of unsuspecting, good willed, and incredulous targets with lots of life-force to feed on.
Everyone knows how to kill vampires, but energy and emotional vampires are day walkers. They have no magic powers besides that…the only way to identify them is when they’re feeding off energy or emotions.
A brief look into a social vampire lair…
Within the Federal government agencies, under the Hatch Act, employees are forbidden to participate inpolitical discussions or activities while on “the clock” or to use agency resources. They are allowed to participate in such activities on their own time, using their own resources. IMESHO,that should be the rule for every public corporation.
That’s the best and funniest thing I’ve read in a long time.
That’s what I say!😆 lol!
There’s a simple answer. Don’t bring your politics into my workspace and all will be well.
Being made redundant, in more ways than one lol…
Fire every one of them and start over…
resist we much…
Love that!
“YOU CAN’T FIRE ME … I QUIT!!!”
You can’t fire me, I glued myself to the floor!
This generation of workers believes they are owed something, it is pathetic. Demanding this and that.
all that enlightened “liberal education” with everybody is a winner prizes, and above average
I’m no great fan of Musk.. But I hope he gives these b_____s the same love they gave the coal miners and oil field roughnecks that were thrown out of work for political power.
They should “learn to code” !
Also this is a wondrous economy, so the leeches will have no problem securing another free ride..
Honestly, one could go to the local Starbucks and restaff such places with the same “caliber” of woke folks. Get over yourself. You ain’t anything special.
Cry me a f***ing river! Boo f***ing hoo! It’s no longer shits and giggles.
Oh my gosh, the lack of any self awareness or any sense of hypocrisy and irony. These employees are beyond help.
Suck it up kiddos…the world doesn’t revolve around you, no matter what you’ve been told. Hahahahahaha….
Musk’s reply letter should say ” Good By you crying leftist snowflakes you are getting exactly what you deserve.” And by the way I’m fighting againt your unemployment benefits .
The Twitter employee’s letter is one of the funniest things I’ve read in awhile. One can only hope that the Day of Judgement is here for these pathetic Communist snowflakes who make a practice of violating our US Constitutional Bill of Rights every minute of their work shift. Every last one of them is also guilty of Election Tampering, Fraud, and colluding with the Fauci/Pharma Cabal to endanger the lives of millions of people by systematically suppressing vital information about the experimental COVID vaccines coming from researchers and doctors working in the field just so the Cabal could make $billions and use the lock-downs, and vaccine discriminatory practices as a tool to destroy America. How many of us know people who have DIED or are disabled for life because they took these vaccines, often because they were forced to in order to keep their jobs and were unaware of what they were getting into? This is Crimes Against Humanity. They have conspired to promote/target America’s vital defenses such as the military, border patrol, police, and fire departments, healthcare and our airline/transportation systems by promoting the mandates for these dangerous drugs and silencing/targeting anyone who expressed concerns about this. They have ruined countless people’s lives by the propaganda, discrimination, and violence they promote against their political opponents. They have also tried their best to conspire with the enemies of America to overthrow our Constitutional Republic and convert it to a Communist Dictatorship. This is Sedition and Treason. They not only DESERVE to lose their jobs, but they should also be prosecuted for the crimes listed above. In a Just world, many of them would be in prison.
The best thing about all of this is that NO ONE CARES if Twitter goes down in flames because of the loss of these workers or what these miscreants might do to sabotage the company before they get their pink slips. CRY ME A RIVER about the ones on visas who will risk deportation if they lose their jobs. Odds are, most of us would happily contribute to buy a one-way ticket back to China for each of these subversive communist anarchists if it would guarantee their exile from America for good. Good riddance! Here’s hoping Elon Musk will do the right thing and follow through with his intentions to purge this company of its Rot.
I don’t think the political activists have a legal case. Employers have good reason for banning political speech in the office: to keep people from getting heated and developing anger and resentfulness against others. Twitter is a platform that allows users to engage in political debates. It’s like operating a bar or airliner or cruise ship: the customers are welcome to drink, the staff isn’t allowed to, while on duty.
I have not read all comments but I am sure I am not the first to point out:
the hypocrisy of Twitter employees wanting to be protected for their opinion, and the very job description of those valuable “Employees” might be to censor and kick off people for their different opinion?
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Watch this & it all makes sense… Twatter is actually just an upscale DAYCARE center for “adults”:
So it looks like Twit only needed a couple of woke coders to create and update the AI / algorithms.
MEMO TO EMPOYEES
go buy your own company
Please let this happen!!! 😁
(c/o patriots . win)
So they are asking for protection from the very same actions they are taking against Twitter “customers”? How rich….
Isn’t it fun to hear the squeaking of the leftist mice before they exit the building? Look who’s asking for “tolerance” of their crazy political rantings! This should go over well, no?
I fired up a 14,000 HP hydrogen compressor in an oil refinery last night…plus an 8000 HP charge pump….(me and my operations team)….I am privileged for having been trusted with that responsibility…don’t nobody owe me nuthin’ other than wages….it’s my job
…should have said “operations and maintenance and mgmt team”….(been a long night)…
use the signatures and fire them first.
What balls!!
Sounds like they’re afraid the roosters are about to come home. Hahaha
If they can’t steal it we are golden…but you can bet the farm they will try….
I am laughing because I heard that Elon Musk might not even be allowed to buy Twitter because of his political beliefs.
…we don’t need another hero…Donald Trump knows the way home….and all we want is life beyond…the commie dome….
Which is why I have never understood why “social media” such as Twitter, Facebook, and so on continue to be a waste of so many people’s time. I have never used any of these services, and I never will. (It may also interest you to know that there is also no television in my house.)
Only if the censorship of other’s beliefs is stopped.
Twitter drones demanding the same treatment they denied everyone else. I’m reminded of the fall of the Reich in Germany.
Twitter employees filling their pants in fear?
I wish every day were this good.
Absolute bollocks of the hubris of entitled, spoiled, undisciplined, willingly ignorant children inhabiting the bodies of adults. In other words they want the special protection against exactly what they’ve given everyone of their political, religious, ideological enemies who used to have a TWITTER account. But yeah, stupid is as stupid does so the mob of pretenders there will do one last hail Mary before their gravy train is promptly yanked out from under them. No doubt they scurry to any one of thousands of woke companies before they too go broke. Like the thousands of container ships parked off the coast of the Shanghai, pretty soon there will be nowhere left to sell their wares.
Elon will start his Friday speech with “Ya all are fired. We are moving HQ to Texas where Employees and contractors don’t make demands because its a “right to work state” Googled it morons, now go!”
For people that think Must is the front for CIA let’s just wait and see. I’d like to see by next week that Musk will:
1. Fire 90% of all staff, replace with 200 real engineers
2. get rid of 2022 election algorithms
3. get rid of all censorship algorithms
4. get rid of over all bots making up of 90% of MAUs and publish that fact to the world
5. reinstate all real users including Trump and let the world know it. That alone will make many libs heads pop!
And yes if all of these items are not done then Musk is CIA spook.
“ That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it because it would be easy.
I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love.”
— Elon Musk October 27, 2022
Very telling how these children think they boss their boss around. And that, what they have been doing to us that they thought was ok and just, wouldn’t be ok and just if it came back to them the same way. Just shows you who they are. I hope Elon gives them all a tissue to wipe their tears and then fires every single o e if these brats! Maybe the CIA could hire them at one of their other coffee shops!
We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires, …Hello, What have you been doing all this time? You have been treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires.
After all of the damage these arrogant children have done over the last few years, they are in no position to demand anything.
Fire them, Elon.
Now wait a minute here…… “It also demands he does not discriminate against employees based on their political beliefs”….Well isn’t that precisely what those FREAKING COMMUNISTS did to the President, numerous Congressmen and thousands of Citizens? WHAT drives a Human Being to be this HYPOCRITICAL in their way of thinking? I don’t think I know ANYBODY that is that blatant of a HYPOCRITE.
Twitter employees should download a copy of the Constitution and read it. If they think that their Constitutional Rights are being violated, they should hire a lawyer and pursue a remedy.
If I were Musk, I would rethink the possible plan of sacking 75% of Twitter’s workforce. He should eliminate 100% and then hire 25% of the original headcount from the outside. A complete re-do with people of his own choosing. Why shouldn’t he discriminate against people in the company whose views he deems ridiculous. Twitter employees are not known for being non-discriminatory with respect to conservative Twitter users. Oh, and that notion of “trust in the platform”? Don’t make me laugh. By all means, Elon, feel free to intimidate the members of the current clown show. Do you really want to be stuck with Dorsey’s stooges? I’m not a Twitter user and never will be, but the whiners who work there have no redeeming social value. Perhaps they can transition to becoming Starbucks baristas.
Please Mister , Dont treat me like I treated others and laughed like Mutley and erased them from the platform , We didnt realize Biden was so bad
I laughed aloud when I read the demands! They demand not to be fired based on their political position! Ha, they should have thought about that before censoring, removing, and blocking others for their political position. The world is nothing but Karma. Twitter Karma is a man named Elon, Let that Sink in!
The “smallest violin in the world” is the perfect visual! Their complete lack of self awareness is stunning and hilarious all at once! I’m anxious to read Babylon Bee’s take…
🥲 😂 🤣
A political view is not a “protected” group. Race yes..politics no. You’re fired!
Oh because they want to continue their four hour work week…. Puleeezze those people make me sick!!!
I can see that among the Twitter staffs’ many shortcomings foremost is lack of self-awareness.
What a Very Very LARGE Violin that is, Sundance.
Does Phony Fauci’s daughter still work at twitter?
The social safe-space sounds like an extension of the Uniparty’s “Nomenklatura”.
The nomenklatura were a category of people within the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries who held various key administrative positions in the bureaucracy, running all spheres of those countries’ activity: government, industry, agriculture, education, etc., whose positions were granted only with approval by the communist party of each country or region.
