He should immediately close the SF office and donate it for use as a homeless shelter. Move the headquarters to TX. That should get rid of a large number of twits.

Well - decimate does mean to reduce by 10%.

Always. The dead wood never wants to leave. They fear having to produce beneficial results in their next job instead of being paid to take up space.

10% is a good start. Imagine if Trump fired 10% of the federal workforce.

Obama/Biden thugs in government won’t allow this deal to close I would bet.

If he really wants change, he will need to turn over 80% of the staff within 5 years.

**************

Agree. Getting rid of 10% just means that about 80% will be there to undermine and subvert his efforts at reforming the company. In a company of snowflakes I would estimate that only about 10% want to do a good job and are worth keeping.

In my experience, its the people you want least who will hang on the longest...

Sorry to say this happens often.

As soon as we think Musk is on the side of freedom of speech he’ll censor anything against his proposed carbon tax, and the grift Tesla gets from selling “carbon credits”.

I would never remotely even considered working for Twitter in the past... once Musk has taken over, I would.

It would be interesting, actually, to see the “report abuse” count of every post. Calling Bruce Jenner a “he” or saying “illegal aliens” will certainly get a lot of them.

He’ll probably look at internal emails and all those who badmouthed his takeover are gone. Better to get rid of future saboteurs on day one.

Yes, maybe he can learn from Trump's mistake.

10% might be a smoke screen/ fake news.

What needs to be reminded is that you just DONT fire 80% of the workforce and expect changes in your way of thinking.

I’m an employer in a Hollywood company. We took over one post production co. choc-fiull of twinks and wingnuts years ago..

You have to get lawyers involved for legal reasons. You have to hire a human resources guy to make a manual to remove leftards etc.

Obviously there are Freepers who think it’s easy running a company and magically expect Musk to remove all leftards. There’s a lot involved.

If he cuts 10% another 20-30% of the Wokesters at Twitter will leave, for the first time in their lives, they will have to face how a real business works....

Many will leave before the ax comes down.

That will probably be an dismissal mixture of 50% not really good workers, and 50%, who are capable and get a job at another firm or start their own business.

If he cuts 10% another 20-30% of the Wokesters at Twitter will leave, for the first time in their lives, they will have to face how a real business works....

Pareto’s principle will be the basic formula re who to keep and who to show the door to.

20% of the employees create positive results 80% of the time. These people are the ones to keep and keep motivated.

20% of the employees create 80% of the negative results. So fire them and let them go to work for your competitors.
