#13If you still work at Twitter, you can’t act surprised tbh.
Twitter and Elon Musk: Never paid bonuses, kept firing people randomly, didn’t respect the severance terms, clawed back executive pay that was legally required to be paid out at acquisition, didn’t pay the rent on the office building, kept hanging the promise of “equity” to the employees who stayed without actually handing it out for an extended period of time, shut down a data center on Christmas Eve to make employees work on Christmas and so much more.

#15I really want to hear from someone who is still at Twitter and hear their rationale for it.
“As soon as my H-1B transfer goes through, I’m outta here.” That’s the only plausible explanation I can think of.
Most H-1Bs are out. You don’t have the luxury to tolerate that kind of uncertainty where you can get fired any time and have only 60 days to find the next job.

Likewise my downvote of your comment was random, unrelated to what you wrote.
On a more sensible note, do we care that X staff promotions are "delayed"? What emotion am I meant to feel about this news?

The status quo/momentum probably accounts for the majority of these folks. I don't think the HN crowd appreciates how complacent most people are when it comes to work. A lot of these folks are probably just on autopilot and haven't been affected enough to make them want to move on.
The rest are people who can't (i.e. visa holders) and Musk fanboys.

That’s probably true, at least for the ones good enough to get other jobs. I’d hate living under that sword of Damocles.

I suspect a larger % of staff will be applying elsewhere, or they should be.
