If someone gets fired from an unnecessary job, that's corporate efficiency not malice.

No one has a right to have a particular job, if it's no longer deemed necessary.

One might be lucky enough to have such a job.

But if it goes *poof* overnight then the appropriate take should probably be "It was nice while it lasted."

PS: And we can lament the gutting of their moderation team, but that comprised a small proportion of the total headcount cut.

Musk paid billions too much for Twitter. So at least a few of those real people you're worried about, are now very rich.

Companies have layoffs. Are you saying the thousands of layoffs at Meta, or any other tech businesses in recent times, are "good layoffs", but Twitter layoffs were "bad layoffs"? I don't understand your position here. You seem to have an emotional response about the welfare of tech sector people you don't know.

If you have Twitter on your resume, I'd expect it would open a few doors when job hunting. Your concern for their welfare is odd to say the least.

90% of the noise about Musk and Twitter has zero compassion for software engineers. We're "techbros".

If Musk were doing all of the same things, and much worse, without the culture war stuff attached we would never hear his name.

"I take full responsibility for this difficult decision..."
