    If the division chief had agreed to let go of some staff … instead hired a few janitors and fired all the janitors, that way he can say with clean hands he fired his workers.

    Instead of reading the room that ELongated Muskrat is a Billionaire Crybaby … just give him something that gets his object permanence something to stare at until the rattle pulls him into totally different direction.

    Now the division is all gone without even an afterthought.

    People who lead should know and keep their priorities straight and not get everyone fired on “principles”.

      Yeah, fuck Janitors, definitely not people, just use them to make your job easier…

      I have a lot more respect for the leader who stood up to Muskrat and said no, than one who would do the bait and switch on some workers because it’s “easier”(because they don’t see a janitor as a real job/person deserving of the same respect)

        Im sure you can work out some backdoor deals with janitors compared to mid-level or high-level workers. Hire and fire them but pay them well off-the-books. A leader who stands up to Muskrat better be another billionaire or millionaire ready with a startup company to absorb all the fired workers. A leader has to suck up to his boss so that his team doesnt suffer. Leader takes the bullets that are meant for his team.

        When there are terrible people in charge,work out a strategy that looks favourable to the top-level people, while making it better for your team. You take the responsibility for your actions but dont allow the consequences of your actions to hit your team.

        No one said a leader has an easy job.

      Spite, not principles. He just wanted his 10% or whatever layoffs and everything else is him not wanting anyone to say no. Obviously we don’t know how it went down but a good leader should listen to the people they trust to do their jobs and protect their people. Some of that happened and some didn’t

      I’m actually afraid I may be in a similar boat. Head of engineering just got fired because he refused layoffs. Now we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop

      Now the division is all gone without even an afterthought.

      Musk is upset that he can’t have a proprietary IP on charging stations. Biden’s national supercharger network plan precluded this possibility under it’s newest rules. That’s why Musk is dumping the department.

      His business model revolves around collecting rents on intangibles and a department can’t work if they can’t deliver that.

      Nothing Rebecca Tinucci said or did was going to change that.
