There was probably a lot of slack at twitter, but as an outsider it's incredibly hard to correctly identify who is the slack and who is doing real work (and a lot of people are somewhat in-between) in such a short amount of time. Musk took a massive risk and I'm sure a lot of the collateral damage were people doing genuine work.

Keep in mind a lot of the slacker are really good at pretending to do real work and they've had a long time to hone their skills.

That's any company. Twitter is not special.

The gp I think is talking about rage bait videos on social media where people used to post how work was so easy at xyz company. We should know better than rely on rage bait for information. Ask your friends who worked there if they knew anyone slacking off.

with that i agree, the video was just a funny video and not meant to be taken as a documentary.
