Wait.. So people from Finland are totally different? I read the news of a big company laying off a whole financial department last year. Firing sometimes happen over day. And when they dont want you there, you wont be coming tomorrow. Do it neat, do it silent. Win -> win short term. Thats why people choose self-employment and contract work over this I guess.
Am I defending or loving this managment style.. I am rather neutral about it. Shocking to me.. Not at all. Read about the managment style from the biography/documentaries of the tech entreperenurs.
I am not looking at nationalities /restructuring/ business practices. Living in Finland has nothing to do with my comment. Most of these guys have some very clear personality traits. Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Putin. My comment about being shocked was meant sarcastically.
Well, my simple explanation is that E Musk was kind of setup to force buy twitter, because they made a lawsuite against Musk. If I got it right, havent read lately about it.. So he must have been upset that when he found out there are a lot of fake stuff there and hes now forced to buy it. This is my gut feeling anyway.
@Poleepkwa I am telling you how it is. I take people as individuals. I had a rather decent Finn engineer as my boss for a year and he was quite upfront and clear about everything. So I dont think I am too biased about it. All I am saying is that the stability you might have in certain big companies isn't set in stone so to speak and that busienss is business.
Speaking as a not-a-successful-business-man, I don't see anything at all to praise in Musk's takeover and handling of Twitter. Not in human terms, not in commercial terms, not in management terms, not even in greedy-capitalist terms. It's a shit show.
Whilst he may have found an incompatibility with existing seniors who might have fought his takover, then fought him when he tried to pull out of the deal, his stated aim in buying the thing was to Make Free Speech Great Again. Fine: He could have let the company get on with it excepting the instruction not to censor or ban his fellow sociopaths.
...Instead, he has decimated the company, alienated not only the remaining staff but the advertisers who for its revenue base, and put its very existence in doubt.
Yay. Mr Musk... A really genius effort towards you idea of free speech!
I love the changes with Twitter under Musk. Tons of changes on how it works in a short period of time with fewer employees. Seems like most tech companies are overstaffed/bloated.
What boggles my mind is that if you are such an individualistic person, you like it your way, then why mess with thousands of people anyway. Just go on with your business. Do it Your way and be happy about it. I am never going to be on twitter, since I dont think I have time for it. I am going to enjoy the rest of my weekend now ;-)
Seems like most other people who get to the elite top. I kind of hated how the conversation around that MIchael Jordan documentary series kind of turned into people celebrating what a dick MJ is.
The Twitter excitement will soon fade. No real talent wants to work under that kind of regime. And if they do, it will only be for a resume builder. And with no real filters, Twitter will become a silly place that most real companies will avoid. I give it 3-5 years before it collapses or ceases to be relevant.
I am not "on" Twitter. I see a lot of its content because, as I said elsewhere, instead of sending out journalists to interview, much of the world's media now seems to quote Twitter. And hey, information is there and is quoted.
I have no personal stake in it. But I see it has purposes both good and bad, and I take no pleasure in seeing it vandalised.
