Musk seems to be proving similarly inspirational to CEOs who believe their employees have grown too lazy, too coddled, too opinionatedabout their workplaces. On November 16th, the same day Musk asked Twitter’s remaining employees to sign an oath pledging to work long hours or resign, former PayPal CEO and Facebook crypto guy David Marcus tweeted:
I guess the times of complaining to the CEO of a large tech company at an all hands in front of thousands of people about the quality of toilet paper have come to an end. (True story. This really happened.)
Marcus has plenty of company in being annoyed at the entitlement of some tech employees; countless rank-and-file tech workers have told us stories about one outrageous request or another that one of of their peers made at an all-company meeting.
Putting aside everything else, we’re witnessing the most significant labor action in tech in years.
ETA: Remember the good old days when Elon took over Twitter, in part because the workers had too much control?
How did workers having too much control result in Musk taking over Twitter?
