A Twitter executive hired to shake up the tech firm's 'kind but stagnant' culture left staff in tears with his tough talk and meetings where they were encouraged to slate each other.
Chief Design Officer Dantley Davis, 43, was accused of making workers feel 'psychologically unsafe' after blasting poor work, firing staffers he was unhappy with - and sending scathing criticism of them to their former bosses.
Davis, a top design executive with prior experience at Netflix, Yahoo! and PayPal, was hired by Twitter in 2019 as vice president of design, and has since been promoted.
He has spearheaded a number of product innovations, including audio tweets and prompts to encourage reading an article before sharing it.
A champion of workplace diversity and inclusion who often tweets about the topic, Davis was brought on to improve Twitter's diversity efforts as well as shake up the company culture.

What does “slate each other” mean?

So would snowflake on snowflake attacks be White on White or should it still be red on red? Asking for a friend.

I imagine it’s like cutting them into slabs (?)
Not a good morale boosting tactic imo. Maybe some employees need to be ‘slated’ but not by their coworkers in group meetings.
But it also sounds like some of these kids haven’t ever had to face honest criticism. Flattery isn’t real kindness.

What would a snowflake fight even look like? Teo weepy pajama wearing snowflakes quivering In thunderous sobs as they embrace each other in non gender-specific coddling manuevers while profusely apologizing?

This Dantley guy just sounds like a jack@ss and an @sshole who breaks things under the guise of “we are too nice” as a means to get white people out and create his diversity utopia.
