Me:
"Stop right there. You are hereby terminated immediately with cause. Please exit the building directly after security escorts you to remove your personal effects from your work area."
frick that "demand" crap. If I go to my superiors with "demands", I'm headed to the unemployment line. My subordinates know better than to even approach me like that.

The full text of the open letter
Staff, Elon Musk, and Board of Directors:
We, the undersigned Twitter workers, believe the public conversation is in jeopardy.
Elon Musk’s plan to lay off 75% of Twitter workers will hurt Twitter’s ability to serve the public conversation. A threat of this magnitude is reckless, undermines our users’ and customers’ trust in our platform, and is a transparent act of worker intimidation.
Twitter has significant effects on societies and communities across the globe. As we speak, Twitter is helping to uplift independent journalism in Ukraine and Iran, as well as powering social movements around the world.
A threat to workers at Twitter is a threat to Twitter’s future. These threats have an impact on us as workers and demonstrate a fundamental disconnect with the realities of operating Twitter. They threaten our livelihoods, access to essential healthcare, and the ability for visa holders to stay in the country they work in. We cannot do our work in an environment of constant harassment and threats. Without our work, there is no Twitter.
We, the workers at Twitter, will not be intimidated. We recommit to supporting the communities, organizations, and businesses who rely on Twitter. We will not stop serving the public conversation.
We call on Twitter management and Elon Musk to cease these negligent layoff threats. As workers, we deserve concrete commitments so we can continue to preserve the integrity of our platform.
We demand of current and future leadership:
Respect: We demand leadership to respect the platform and the workers who maintain it by committing to preserving the current headcount.
Safety: We demand that leadership does not discriminate against workers on the basis of their race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs. We also demand safety for workers on visas, who will be forced to leave the country they work in if they are laid off.
Protection: We demand Elon Musk explicitly commit to preserve our benefits, those both listed in the merger agreement and not (e.g. remote work). We demand leadership to establish and ensure fair severance policies for all workers before and after any change in ownership.
Dignity: We demand transparent, prompt and thoughtful communication around our working conditions. We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires.
Sincerely,
Twitter workers

Is there a link to go with that? Would like to share vs a wall of text

The link is within (already posted above) here
No direct link it is posted within the Time article. Maybe Time has a direct letter link I didn't read the whole article?

Elon is no dummy. His announcing the layoffs is a means to get idiot employees to quit in advance. This will mean less severance he has to pay out. Smart business.

They really are so brainwashed they think only their political views are correct and righteous.

Did you have a stroke? This has absolutely nothing to do with the OP and it comes across as written by a 6 year old. Good grief

Who actually "relies" on Twitter?
Posted on 10/27/22 at 2:18 pm to Deuces
You are correct, they were doing all the things that they listed as "don't do to us". They are sick.

Anyone they went through the trouble of sponsoring for an H1B visa most likely brings value and will be kept on.
It's mostly cost savings for us.
The engineers we get through this are mostly average to below average, but for much less money than an American, and they live in fear of the company.
I suspect the programming field is similar.

This is my favorite part I think. They demand him to commit to things that weren’t in the merger agreement????
