Corporate Raiders like Carl Icahn have been doing this exact thing here in the US for decades with impunity. Just watch the video in the tweet. Icahn talks about firing 12 floors of unproductive employees. Granted Musk probably does not have enough shares to exert this kind of influence yet. But he does have a seat on the board of directors and a big soapbox. LoneStarRising |

When the company allows people to work from home for 2 years as a policy and a new shareholder with 9 percent shows up and that person is the single biggest share holder, the remaining still control the 90% and basically, that means they decide, not rocket boy.. If THEY decide to give the office to the homeless, then it can happen. It's just how it works man and there are no time cards. Those are salaried workers. It's not a fucking assembly line. lean more, then comment. |

User ID: 80117407 United States 04/10/2022 10:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Twitter is huge scam and it's influence over the world is an illusion. Only 20% of American adults use it and 80% of the content is generated by 10% of the users. It's like an echo chamber for a small group of loudmouthed morans.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75490728 It just doesn't work like that. you 70 IQ hyper-tards just need to please try better, What are you talking about? The US is a “right to fire” country, unlike Canada and all of Latin America. You can fire anyone, for practically any reason that you like, without warning and there are no severances. The only things you can’t do are: fire for discriminatory reasons (skin color, age etc), fire people in a union with whom you have a labor contract, or fire people with whom you have an employment contract (unlike most countries, US employees don’t usually have contracts). Now, as the 9% owner he can’t fire them directly. He needs the CEO to do that. But he has a lot of sway and it’s likely that most other shareholders would band together with him. So if the CEO won’t shoot the people that he wants to shoot, he can fire the CEO and appoint one that will. These are twitter employees. They don’t have a union. Most won’t have contracts. Even worse, most have options that aren’t vested so they’re going to be butthurt when they get fired before they vested. Musk is an idiot most of the time but he’s nailing this one. Like I told my ex-wife, I said: honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it’s all in the reflexes… |
