#93Doing this on a few weeks notice seems rather insane to me. Unless you have very good remote work options this is very disruptive for employees.
Thats generally the point with sudden disruptive moves - high attrition. Reduce the headcount without having to be in the news for layoffs.

I have him blocked but the CEO has 200 million followers. Even assuming 20% are real people, I'd imagine there's quite a few of those who'd love to work at his company.

It's weird to see people making spiteful comments about working for Musk. I never see spiteful comments about people who work for British American Tobacco, BP or the Sacklers and these companies have, in my opinion, done far more damage to people, families and society in general.
If I can try to explain it - it is overcorrection from times when Tesla and SpaceX were cool with appealing mission places to work on. Bcs of that they could get away with smaller salaries too (although Tesla meteoric rise in value compensate it if you got options as I understand it).

#98Consider the savings to add 15hr/wk of commute time to the onsite workforce. Yikes
Why assume everyone is living in SF? I can’t imagine Elon actually asking his employees and taking there opinions into account, but my experience is that people are commuting in every direction in the Bay Area. This will be closer for some people without a doubt.

Maybe you spend too much time in tech forums and not tobacco, petroleum or pharma forums?

More like the easy commute you had in San Francisco on muni (the bus and subway network of San Francisco) becomes an annoying hour and a half-long commute on bart (The regional train system) with 2-3 transfers
