I've only been laid off, not fired, but each time it was due to executive decisions that weren't going to change any time soon and all I could do was shrug my shoulders and say "your loss." Only one time did I regret having to leave, and it was at my very first job. Liked everyone there, liked my work, they all liked me, but the CTO -- who was fired a month later -- laid me and a bunch of other people off.

@oliverseiler2871 Most of them weren't software engineers though. They were managers and "content moderators." In other words, useless.

They need probably about 12 developers, a desktop/web team, a mobile development team, and if you're feeling generous iOS/Mac specialists. Those 12 developers need at most 3 separate managers because they could also be part of the development team. Other than that, there's Elon himself, maybe his "lieutenant" who tells him how the company is going and runs it in his absence, and 2 HR people that handle payroll and benefits. Everything else would be moderators and time wasters. The moderators could double as QA.

@joehooper89 Eh, good luck getting your workers a job with that contract. Laws vary but in any at-will employment state or nation, employers highly regard their right to tell people to fuck off without warning.

Haha, you think it's just contractors. I've been in two full-time positions where nearly the entire domestic development team was laid off with no notice. Never underestimate the stupidity of executives. To them a development team for software that already exists is just a red number that creates no tangible value.

I worked full time as in-house developer for a multi-national bank for almost 3 years and when I was laid off they still treated me the same way. It isn't unique to contractors, just big companies where executives have zero trust because they don't know everyone personally.

@basillah7650 I disagree, that's naivete on the part of the worker. I did not look back even on the one job I regretted being laid off from.
