Twitter employees reading the tea leaves as they try to discern the future in an Elon Musk-owned company received some bad news last week.

Musk recently prepared a presentation for investors, known as a pitch deck, that outlines some of the moves he’s planning for the social media giant, according to The New York Times.

The deck includes Musk’s plans to expand the company, which in the long run will expand its workforce.

However, it makes it clear that about 10 percent of the workforce that starts 2023 will not finish the year.

This is what Trump should have done. So much BS would have been avoided.

He’d still have over 1/3 of employees remaining but that would be cleaned up enough for me!

Awwww! Those poor leftist twits who had fun canceling normal people who posted that lia thomas is a man! They’re going to be out of a job! Maybe they can get a job at DGB tracking down people who think no man can become a woman and no woman can become a man.

Decimate means 10%...oddly enough.

Yes, "literally 'decimate' " means literally...oh never mind.

Finally, someone used “decimate” correctly. 🥳

I meant cut 10% of the original employees each year. So start with 7500 people. Cut 750 each year of that original batch for 10 years.

Actually you probably don't need to cut them all. Definitely, cut all the ones involved in censorship. Unless there was a voice of reason in that crew, that was against it.

Actually, the literal definition of “decimate” is 10% losses. Not hyperbole at all. The Romans would decimate a unit by killing every tenth man (chosen randomly). The term has also been used for 10% tithing. But the sloppy general usage is now to indicate simply a large proportion - which is itself pretty vague.

I don’t think when you couple the term with the word “bloodbath” you are using the word decimate with the precise meaning you allude to. I think such nuance is beyond the authors intellect.

I’d work for him. There will probably be some openings in coming months.

A win-win — a decent job and a job helping the cause of freedom. Best of all, I can be “a scab” for striking leftists. FU leftists.

To the twitter workers - live by the sword, die by the sword. I have exactly zero sympathy for any of the twitter scum.

Easiest way is to just check the color of their hair. Anything other than natural color or standard hair coloring - gone. Bye Bye blue and purple hairs, red, green and orange etc

Decimate is defined as reduce by 10%, so don’t see how that’s hyperbole.

What I know of their technology and operations staffing says he could remove 90% today and be better off.

10% is nothing. I worked at a company and we had a policy to cut the bottom 10% every year.

PMI?
