Sorry but I'm having a hard time feeling bad for all the entitled employees of Twitter. They'll be fine.

Dang, I wonder if this guy lost his job, he'd be just as rude to himself as he is to all the laid off Twitter employees. Because that's kinda the energy of this comment

Depends where I work.

So there's a spectrum, right? Parag the CEO is probably at one end. Fired, walks with ~$50m. Do you feel bad for him? Is it rude to say "He'll be fine."? No.

Ok now maybe at the other end we've got someone in the rust belt working at a steel mill. No other options. Private equity buys the mill and cans everyone. We both feel bad for that person. Full stop.

I just mean that the average employee of Twitter is way closer to Parag than to the steel mill worker. They're in the Bay. They cashed out at $54.20. There are other places to work. They are educated, connected, and have options. They will also likely get a severance. I think it'd be rude to 90% of the American workforce who struggles every day to not recognize the privilege of the people who will be fired from Twitter by Elon Musk.
