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 tim…

#29I 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.
