Dude, you wrote "chaotic management style".

Now it is because you don't like the cut of his jib. Just say what bothers you directly.

I get it, you really don't like Elon. Whereas I... truly sincerely don't care. Pay my rates you can call me every name in the book. Sticks and stones.

Twitter employees have called him all manner of things, doesn't seem like your apprehensions flow both ways. This is some kindergarten level behavior from all involved.

Don't see why any of it matters. Children are starving in India, I'm getting paid six figures to move some Jira tickets back and forth..



Those are the same thing. His management style involves publicly berating his employees over twitter, insulting his own company, and firing on a whim. Nah, I'll pass. There are so many better run companies out there, I'm here to work not babysit the CEO.


Whom is babysitting whom? You're unlikely to ever meet the CEO, he is unlikely to know who you are.

> Nah, I'll pass. There are so many better run companies out there

Than Twitter? No kidding! Well, pass. Just say that. I still don't get why you care what he (or anyone) tweets, but hey, horses for courses.

Personally I have accepted chaos into my heart. It seems to follow no matter where I go. So long as the cheques clear mine is not to reason why.


Yes, babysit the CEO. He clearly can't handle critical feedback, which means everyone has to bend over backwards to avoid hurting his feelings. That has impacts all the way down the chain. Who wants to work for such a fragile leader?
