Banning him is harsh, but probably fair.
I almost feel bad for him making such a fool of himself. Then I remember what a dick he is and shadenfreude engages.
A good pre-empt!
Would their employment contracts not specify where their office was based?
If they were hired in the last 2 years then their contact probably specified remote work and they wouldn't have an office. That's why this is causing so much chaos and Twitter's HR has been scrambling like crazy to try to catch up to Musk's idiotic create company policy by Tweet method. As posted Twitter announced a "WFH Forever" back in 2020 so there is no possible way to instantly transition to everyone coming into the office for 40+ hours a week as Musk demands.
If their contract specified they are a remote worker then they’re fine, their office is no more Dublin than it is San Francisco, although that would be rare.
Apparently he can’t do this under Irish Labour laws
What a mess
He really is the cringiest rich guy to ever exist. It's how bad he clearly wants to be perceived to be funny/liked
Absolutely fascinating watching a multi billion pound company run by the richest guy on the planet crash and burn within 2 weeks because of his dumb ideas and ego. It’s almost unthinkable yet here we are.
And he looks like a Disney villain who would spit at a poor person...
Amber Heard fecked this guy.
I stand with Johnny.
You can stand as long as you want, she’s not going to let you use it.
When you gave it to her so good, she leaves a chocolate treat on your pillow the next morning.
Grimes too.
I mean, it must be the money, yeah? Even if the cnut is hung like a horse it's still attached to him thrusting it into you and he probably talks about memes post-coitus.
Not really much to brag about
This.
One thing I don't really get in these scenarios, were these people looking after their children all day during their work day?
Why not? If your kid is one or two years old, they are sleeping most of the time, if you are in the same room you do not need to do much. Feed them, clean them, it takes a few minutes.
If you ever have kids, you will be in for a shock
Exactly. I never ever understood that. I thought being a housewife/mother was in itself 'a full time job'?
ps. I'm not saying it isn't, quite the opposite. It's very much full time.
There is literally no way you can look after a child and work at the same time
I abhor children, but even I know that ain’t quite right.
The point the other poster made was completely wrong (categorically untrue) because he drew an incorrect conclusion despite publically-available evidence to the contrary, so whether or not a part of his sentence is technically true does not really matter.
I also don't understand why you insist on repeating something that is publically known (advertising spend/revenues falling during recession) in relation to the specific point about Musk's personal actions costing Twitter advertising revenue. Marketing spend falling during recession it is a seperate matter and not the argument that caused contention.
Musk's actions equate to constructive dismissal in certain jurisdictions.
That’s a good point. Life is often a poorly written action drama.
That's a tamagotchi you're thinking of
In Canada, the fact that he buys a company unrelated to his main domain to absorb losses would be illegal by all financial laws. I don't know what US laws say about that part, but this whole Musk/Twitter thing is just pure stench.
Is the "to absorb" losses (if proven I guess) the illegal bit or you are simply not allowed to own (or manage?) companies in different industries?
Let's say you do in the food industry business and own a supermarket chain, you are allowed to have some losses after buying a related business like an independent grocery store or convenience store(s). But fecking up a company that is not related to your primary company from a different industry is illegal. The illegal part would stand out from the part about unrelated domains.
At this point, I'm not sure you are either stupid or a paid shill or a completely naive hero worshipper. Truth
Isn't he the guy who seems to break every major gaming news?
On my team we have multiple parents of young children. In each case their spouse also WFH, and so they make it work by alternating and working extended hours to fill in the gap. Not ideal, but it beats the outrageous cost of childcare.
I am guessing if one of their spouses had to shift immediately to the office this would throw things into chaos.
He is. It's a hypothetical that could have been communicated much better.
