It irritates me SO MUCH when I see people theorizing that the reason Elno's eliminating so much staff is because of "dead weight".

This is painting the majority of all workers as lazy fffks while trying to perpetuate the myth that billionaires work alongside us in employment trenches.

The people that COULD quit, did.

The people that cannot quit are now hostages.

If a company has "dead weight", that's a management problem, an HR problem. Not a worker problem.

Exactly, "dead weight," that's why he was begging people to come back. 🙄
He tried to bully them, and they called his bluff.
Feel sorry for the hostages. Hope they're able to find someone else to sponsor them.

@Keep_Real Exactly. The legal staff? The security staff? The staff to make sure your servers don't cause a rolling fryout? Not dead weight.

He's just keeping either people that don't have a voice to advocate for themselves or people that want to run things like 1940.

@artisanrox I totally get this. I was in a similar situation working for Uncle Sam. The people that COULD quit, leave, find other work, did. It definitely WAS a management problem. After a very long time, I was finally able to escape.

@artisanrox This is what bothers me about the whole thing:

“ The people that COULD quit, did.

The people that cannot quit are now hostages.”

We need some regulation around the takeovers that have been decimating workers in America since the 80s.
