Musk plans to end free lunch at Twitter HQ, claims meals cost $13M a year (nypost.com)

If a multi-billion dollar company can't justify 13M and starts cutting corners, they wont be a multi-billion dollar company anymore.

Dev talent would already start looking elsewhere - the free meals might not be important given their salaries, but add to the mood of the environment. And being randomnly added to a set of layoffs at any time being something looming, plus cutting remote work doesn't entice top talent either...

Of course the idea might be that Twitter doesn't need top talent. The kind of things it needs to do to run, any half-competent dev can do.


I agree. I’m curious for those who are still there, what percentage is looking for new job.

It’s like he is deliberately sabotaging


Remember, if you leave on your own volition it saves him a lot of money. Perhaps chair rental is next? Or power?


I imagine it has to be consistent with his other businesses.
