Are you not victim to this as well? Who is to say commenters or the media are an accurate representation of the majority?
I'm very curious in what way the stuff Elon is doing is not creating toxic work culture? >Minimum< 40 hour work week. 100% office work. Working into the night. Being fired for pushing back.
I'm not denying there may have been toxic work culture before, but I don't see how replacing it with another form of toxic work culture is to be celebrated.
Also, writing this:

And then spewing a bunch of vitriol and bile really distracts from any point you were trying to make:

40 hours per week is also known as the standard work week. A bog standard j-o-b. Those are not reasonable examples of any sort of toxicity.
If these painfully regular employment terms are not competitive with other offers nobody is forced to pick twitter as their employer.

Walk on by. Find a company more suited to your temperament that will give you the pay and perks you think you deserve.

I assure you the child was quite literally stating xbox as the reason for his tantrum. Loudly. Whilst withering on the floor. I'm simply giving an eye witness account.
>>Minimum< 40 hour work week. 100% office work.
Those are the norm for most fulltime people in most jobs. You know that, right? Right?
To this I say: Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
Call it "toxic" if you wish, I find this whole thing hilarious. Especially this reply.
If as an employee you do not like the shake up, you always have the right to seek work other places. If you are indispensable (lottery/bus test) you may have some negotiating power but most of the time when up against a big corporation you are just SOL.
Now that the fed has been (rightfully)pulling the rug, people shouldn't be surprised if tech work goes back to the 60/70 hour grinds it was infamous for.
Breathtaking niceness going on from lovely stable people:

The projections were the work of Alan Marling, a Bay Area activist who declined to give his age or comment on his profession. He stood nearby — donning a Captain America face mask and a Sunrise Movement beanie — as passersby, many of whom were tech workers getting off work from nearby offices, stopped to take videos and photos.
Seems to me the worst anyone's accused their corporate culture of is being heavy on pros and light on cons.

It is shocking to see adults behave in this manner. I am not easily flustered but to me it as akin to witnessing a fat child throwing an epic tantrum laying flat on a mall floor - first time I encountered this was in the US, I had to go for a long walk after laughing my ass off, that country is experiencing a very unique cultural moment - because mommy didn't buy them an xbox.
Straight up Cartmenesque.
The job cuts are clearly justified because of the extremely toxic "work culture" / cult. The focus is quite clearly and exclusively on anything except actual technical work.
Nuking it from orbit by eventually replacing every single person who worked there and the entire tech stack is the only way to salvage it. Perhaps the process unfolded way too quickly, who knows, impossible to tell from the outside, but site is still up and working.
