Twitter CEO Elon Musk recently said he’s been “cutting costs like crazy” since taking over the company. Employees are smelling the results. 

Speaking in a Twitter Spaces conversation on Dec. 20, Musk said, “This company is like, basically, you are in a plane that is headed toward the ground at high speed with the engines on fire and the controls don’t work.”

Among his drastic cost-cutting measures, Musk canceled janitorial services this month at the company’s San Francisco headquarters, according to the New York Times. Combined with workers being packed onto two floors after four were closed, one result has been the smell of leftover takeout food and body odor lingering in the air. 

What’s more, the bathrooms have become dirtier, and some employees have resorted to bringing their own rolls of toilet paper to work.

10. Demands work-from-home employeees return to the office. Then fires the office janitors.

If he had just let them continue working from home, this wouldn't even be a story.

16. Musk is taking pleasure in seeing how much abuse his remaining employees will endure.

19. Fucking narcissist trash

Fuck musk.

[Generic Brad]

17. And we're supposed to believe Musk is a billionaire?

Most of us are only thousandaires or less and we're even not that cheap.

Being in charge of so many companies makes me suspect he is heavily involved in creative accounting and does not have anywhere near the wealth he wants us to think he has.

18. reminds me of somebody...hmm...

tfg?

20. Why do you suppose they stay?

I just cannot think of a healthy reason. I can think of dependence on insurance. I can think of being in a desperate place for any number of reasons. I even considered greed but decided it was not healthy. What is a healthy (mental/physical/spiritual/whatever you like) reason to keep working there?
