Nope, glider-mode is definitely not good.

First rule of electrical engineering: Plug it in.
Second rule of electrical engineering: Turn the switch ON.

Isn’t that part of a pre-flight check?

Several news outlets have posted a partial transcript of the cockpit voice recorder. One of the pilots asks. “Why did you cut off?” The other pilot says, “I did not do so”
As the switches have to be manually operated it would appear that one of the pilots did, in fact, move the switches from run to off. And this happened almost immediately after takeoff as the RAT was deployed just a few seconds after rotation. As both pilots had several thousand hours of flight time between them it would seem to strain credibility that this was an inadvertent action.

Weird. Those switches are on the center console halfway down towards the floor. Why were they/whomever fooling around down there?
