True, any tech workers can be easily dismissed/fired. However, tech work can be a lot more enjoyable than blue collar work, and require a lot of knowledge and expertise to do well. Likewise, it's tough to find candidate for tech job opening who is well qualified and capable of doing the job well. Out of many candidates interviewed, very few have required ability/expertise. So yes, easy to fire/layoff, but tough to replace an expert level professional.
Lol this is news to you? this has always been the case in Corporate America, I myself have gotten fired, its just normal but you learn to take it in the shin and move on, its just the way life works I guess
@@springer-qb4dv I wouldn't say tech work is more enjoyable. The thing is with a lot of knowledge based jobs a lot of times when you get off of work you need to take the work home with you due to needing to meet deadlines and expectations. Whereas in some blue collar jobs you get to leave work at work and don't need to take it home with you.

As someone mentioned, maybe it’s a great moment for the tech geeks to start their own social app. That benefits them with stability and provides an option for users instead of this media monopoly.
With Covid lot of tech jobs became remote. It has become a trend that people are working 2 or 3 tech jobs. Not saying it wrong or right, just stating a fact. So even if they lose their first job, they probably have back up. If not they can find new jobs soon.
@@venugopalAnagandula I don't see how if they were truly doing their job. Not only do you have to be productive at your work, but you also have to continuously educate yourself to increase your skills and expertise in your area.

I googled what happens to employees after their company is purchased. Basically everyone is automatically fired, even if they stay in their job for a while. The new owner may or may not rehire them. These lawsuits are frivolous.
The law says any company with 100+ employees is supposed to give 60-day notice. Twit gave no official notice. Elon/Twit can give everyone 60-days severance $ or 60-day notice & pay, but don't show up, then they're in compliance per the attorney for one of the lawsuits.
Have some more self respect smh. You're just as easily replaceable as anyone so go where your skills are valued whether a large tech company or a smaller growing company. Stop falling for the tech gold rush.
Capable twitter employees already exited the company and jumped ship to a better job. It's the incapable stragglers left behind that Elon has been gifted with.
A lot of tech employees are actually bullshitters just blagging a non-existent job. They spend their day reading and sending emails and attending pointless meetings. It really is a gravy train, which might just be about to crash. 🙂

This type of action always happens towards the end of the year to balance expenses with falling revenue and sometimes when when new owners take over a business. Twitter wasn't making any money. The brats should however get severance and from what I've read he's offered them 3 months of severance. They could also ask those executives that got millions after being fired to share some of their ill gotten gains. So what are they filing a lawsuit for. Like Tesla, Musk should move Twitter Headquarters out of San Francisco and out of the State of California because they are not business friendly.

90% of twitter revenues are from advertising. And most of it is now gone. Twitter will fade away like MySpace and aol and yahoo.
@@lumberjackdreamer6267 lol do you really think that companies will refuse to advertise on Twitter now? Companies advertise where they can connect with the most people. Twitter will soon have far more subscribers than it has had and these will be real people instead of bots ! lol
Hunger games? Extremely childish understanding of the real world.
Either way massive layoffs in cali is good stuff.
Bummer
This type of action always happens towards the end of the year to balance expenses with falling revenue and sometimes when when new owners take over a business. Twitter wasn't making any money. The brats should however get severance and from what I've read he's offered them 3 months of severance. They could also ask those executives that got millions after being fired to share some of their ill gotten gains. So what are they filing a lawsuit for. Like Tesla, Musk should move Twitter Headquarters out of San Francisco and out of the State of California because they are not business friendly. Facebook is next because META has and is loosing money big time.
It's not business friendly and yet there are tons and tons of the most prestigious businesses? Something doesn't add up in your narrative.
Most of American GDP is produced in the SF area. It’s where most businesses are.
Breaking news...Elon Musk has reportedly made a deal to buy the FBI from the Clintons.
Wait until you see how many people get “laid off” from the automotive industry. Tik Tok goes the clock ⏳
we love you Elon
We who? Count me out.
He's a destroyer ...
Lilee, he is a MAGA
Thank God… burn that liberal tech company to the ground!!
If you're making more than 25 or 30 grand a year, your life is NOTHING 🤗like "Hunger Games!" 👍🤣
F with the woke
Lol. Everyone taking notes from Elon 😂
Who cares.....
Who supports these companies
Time to dewoke the company. Headquarters will be going to Texas soon.
Sounds like it's going to wreck Trump's Troll Social Twitter clone. Sounds good to me.
This is so sad.
Pray for blue-haired soy boys.
Why? they don't even pray.
How would you like to be a washed-up soy boy with blue hair? It has to be beyond depressing.
@@JimBarcelona The people should do a real insurrection due to inflation, but are are being whipped into submission by the red media.
Only right wingers believe in the guy in the sky and other fairy tales.
@@JimBarcelona You do realize that there are more guns than people in America right; do you think everyone forgot them at home on Jan 6? "insurrection" my ass..
Elon winning hearts and minds everywhere. Imagine taking over a company and firing half the employees just before Christmas. Nice.
Elon is getting rid of the election colluders and censorship.
They have more time to spend with their families this holiday season. 🎁
go wake, go broke
🤣
The opposite. Go anti-woke, lose advertisers.
