will they be sent to the gym?
Gym stipends have been terminated, and the in-office gyms at Twitter have been repurposed as offices for the employees who must now return to office.
Imagine working for such a piece of shit.
Sometimes I am really in awe how pseudo managers like Luke Simon even do their job. So you will kick developer out. You have no decency to check what the guy is doing. Then you find out guy is actually doing important job, so you rehire him. What a surprise that such developer is demoralized and does not really want to do anything and is even hostile towards his employer who fired him.

Mr. Simon, what did you expect? That such developer will be full of joy, that merciful Elon took him back?

To me it reads like this person on purpose rehires 'weak, lazy, unmotivated' engineers

maybe dear Elon cut a deal w trump to cripple twitter for 2024, in exchange for preferential treatment of his companies after trump gets elected. I also wonder if the FTX collapse was engineered, taking out the democrats second largest donor.
No way anyone ponies up $22B for "future considerations", especially when it's conditional on Trump winning the election.
Here's a clue:

1. You get surprise-fired, then rehired.

2. Your new CEO is publishing, unpublishing, publishing, unpublishing features in a coke-fueled frenzy.

3. And is openly talking about the company going bankrupt.

4. And is picking fights with US senators responsible for media oversight.

5. And is blocking ad agency representatives who are trying to explain why their ads are pulled and what should be done so they come back.

... you can't possibly be "strong and motivated" for this CEO, even if you were prior one of the best software engineers in the company and the region as a whole. No, you want to resign and move on from this train wreck.

But you see, if you resign, you don't get compensation. So you stick around and don't resign, but give zero fucks, and your goal is to kinda push your boss into firing you.
