I don't envy the remaining folks at Twitter at all.
Imagine employees getting this survey and thinking I want to get out but what if this is trap? By opting for leaving I would be outing myself as not 'hardcore'.
Mr. Musk gets a database of self declared 'disengaged' employees. He chooses to scrap the offer (there is no legal binding) and then over next few months pressures them to quit without any severance.
This is why you build up a healthy emergency reserve. If I were a Twitter employee, I'd take the severance instantly. If it pays off, great. If it doesn't, then I'm financially comfortable enough that I can leave a rudderless organization and I take my services elsehwere.
I find it highly doubtful anyone would damage their employment prospects by accepting severance and leaving. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere that thought this way.
