Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! Recently, Musk carried out the eighth round of Twitter layoffs, the number of staff was reduced by 70%, and female executives who had slept in the office to show their loyalty could not escape the fate of being laid off.

The eighth round of layoffs on Twitter has begun, and this time, even some die-hard supporters of Mr Musk's new policies have not been spared.

Yes, the good employee who slept in the company for Twitter was fired by Musk. For a moment, the whole network was shocked.

Musk had just bought Twitter in October last year when he "wiped out" one of its employees. The product manager, Esther Crawford, slept directly in the company, and she also survived the "bloody massacre".

And this photo of her was instantly spread all over the network, which shocked Chinese and foreign netizens.

The experience of Esther Crawford tells us that in Musk's eyes, employees who can sleep on the floor for the company have to be laid off when they should be laid off.

Perfectly in line with Aristotle's "first principle", this is the Academician Ma is right.

After all, the eighth round of changes did not escape last weekend, and according to the New York Times, Twitter made a new wave of layoffs, the eighth round of layoffs since Musk took over Twitter at the end of October last year.

Musk's management model is to start with a purge, followed by the placement or promotion of people loyal to him, or people he wants to use on a whim, such as the new head of trust and security, Ella Irwin.

I wonder if Marc regretted taking over the hot potato after he bought Twitter for $4.4 billion last year.

Under him, Twitter's development has gone from bad to worse, advertising revenue has been declining, it is heavily in debt, and the number of employees has been "reduced" from more than 7000 to less than 2000 today.

The remaining Twitter employees, seeing the company's population shrink by 70%, can only tremble, continue to respond to the big boss's hard-core work style, and enjoy the "blessing" of long hours of intensive work.

After all, even the boss sleeps in the office bedroom at night, and employees with discerning eyes bring their own sleeping bags.

It is well known that billionaire Musk worked 120 hours a week to complete the task of mass production, sleeping directly on the floor of Tesla's factory at night.

SleepWhereYouWork carried forward the boss's style in the "hegemonic" layoffs that led to a 50 per cent layoff last year.

The photo of her lying in her sleeping bag on the floor of the company office was posted online by her subordinates.

Later, Esther Crawford himself retweeted the photo: "when your team finishes the task day and night on time, sometimes you will # SleepWhereYouWork".

This photo has also become an irrefutable proof of Musk's Twitter "hard core" work culture.

At that time, Crawford did not express any dissatisfaction on social media. on the contrary, she supported the work style of her new boss.

Many people have lost their minds, let me explain: to do difficult things, it is necessary to sacrifice, such as time, such as energy, perhaps because of the contribution of this amazing communicative deed, which perfectly meets the expectations of the boss for employees. Esther Crawford survived the massive layoffs last November.

While thousands of Twitter employees regretfully posted farewell messages on Twitter, Crawford was posting Twitter Blue's latest plans.

At that time, Crawford also told employees that mass layoffs were a "necessary price" for the company to survive.

This move also makes other employees feel very uncomfortable: you flatter yourself and drag us?

Can not escape the fate, but such a good staff, but still did not escape the fate of being laid off.

On Saturday, Crawford posted three tweets in a row, which seemed to be a lot of emotion, but strangely, she turned off the comment.

And some keen netizens have already smelled some unusual signs at that time.

I know what it's like to be in the trenches as a founder and CEO, from scratch, to experience the best parts and troughs. I sold my company to Twitter, so I went through the whole acquisition journey. I used to lead high-performance product teams in large companies.

In the early days of working with a founder, you need to be a trustworthy person. Fundraising, recruitment, product release, transformation, etc., there are so many things to do. My goal is to be a person who still makes you feel comfortable when dealing with thorny problems.

One of the most difficult things about running a company is that it takes too much energy and can be a little lonely as a senior manager. What I do for the founder, most of the time, I just listen. They usually have answers to their questions, but they need to say it out loud. Sure enough, on Sunday, Crawford and several other product owners said they found themselves locked out of the company's system.

The unfortunate moment has come: they also received the "letter"-"Today is your last working day in the company." "

Martijn de Kuijper, a senior product manager, said on Twitter: "it looks like I've really been let go. Now my journey to Revue (the editor's communication tool he founded) is really over. "

After hearing the news, netizens also exploded: it seems that no matter how hard you try to win the new boss's stinky feet, you can't escape the fate of being laid off.

However, it is puzzling that after being fired, Crawford still claimed on Twitter that she had no regrets, and even though people around her were mocking her previous efforts in vain, she was very proud of herself and her team.

It's a big loss for Twitter to lose such a good employee with such a sense of trust.

But his academician probably does not think so. After all, he follows the "first principle".
