>60 days severance.

No it’s crazier than that they get paid for the next 90 days but are not allowed to work at Twitter. They’re in a paid but ‘non-working’ status. In addition they will be offered severance. This board is hilarious in thinking that the package musk is offering is in any way ‘cruel’.

So much agree. The attitudes here are just laughable. The drama, entitlement, the faux "empathy", violins, crocodile cry me a river tears.

The factory worker or janitor working hard doing honest work and struggling to put food on their table get my sympathy, not these tech workers with cushy jobs in the top percentile of wages.

I'm one of these btw and am very thankful and I don't feel I'm entitled to it. I've been laid off. And you know what I did? I got another tech job. Barring special circumstances, it is that simple.


Yeah, I saw the 90-day-thing-plus-severance in a later article. Assuming that's the one that's true… Jesus, that's a life-changing firing.
