    Now is the time for the twitter devs to implement “arse covering mode”. Although they probably have been in that mode since the buyout.

    Keep every email. Recorder or otherwise document every phone call, and insist on every instruction being in writing.

    It’s amazing how many managers no longer want you to do a thing when you insist that the instructions to do that thing are in writing.

      In a company like Twitter, that isn’t going to offer you any kind of protection from getting fired or disciplined. Elon will just fire you anyway.

      He doesn’t have the nuance and foresight to consider any of the experience of his employees because nothing he does with Twitter has any kind of strategy behind it.

      He thinks Twitter is Tesla and he can do whatever he wants, but even with Tesla he’s starting to realize how wrong that actually is.
