Is Chiefsplanet seriously going to outlive Twitter?

[Chiefspants]

This might be destined for DC, but for some reason this will feel like a major achievement on this website if that happens.

Forums like this have taken a huge hit with social media. Out of the Tech, Life, Music, Baseball and Nintendo forums I was a part of in high school, it's amazing that this is the place that not only survived, but it still thriving (while outliving and far suprassing the Chargers, Raiders, and Bronco forum equivalents).

Cheers.

Just skip right over the logical connection there.

It's just cheerleading without any logic inserted.

I massively overpaid for Twitter, so after firing half of you. I want the rest of you to work 60~70+ hour weeks for the same compensation so I can get my money back.

What do you say?










We quit.

Rest assured anything Ben Shapiro posts is political.

I'm not sure. Him talking about a wet vagina being a medical condition didn't seem very political.

I hardly believe Musk belongs in the same room as Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones.

That’s cute that Ben thinks that former Twitter software developers are going to have to learn a trade so they can earn $17.90 per hour. It’s even cuter that dumb people think he’s on to something.

HOLD THE **** ON

You know welders that for $17.90/hr? Spill the beans, fool. I need names and phone numbers.

Probably about right for some entry level welders away from metro areas.

Cringe,

These type of posts are not a good look

It’s such a ****ing joke, the people complaining that is.

He asked them to work 40 hours a week, and somehow some of you think that’s outrageous. Bunch of ****ing lazy ****s tell you what

Honestly, all of that stuff is so far above my understanding that hey, maybe Elon is making a smart move if he lets it die, I dunno!

For folks who love Elon I will say this — he’s miles above Zuck and Bezos when it comes to billionaires.

When you think of it this place is a microcosm of Twitter. The mods get a lot of shit but they keep the place running pretty smoothly. But not without controversy. But the rules are much simpler. It’s easier to just say sports and politics are treated separately, and the politics side can largely go unfiltered. The forum is built for the users not to turn a profit. And even within sports we tend to agree on the majority of things with the commonality of loving the chiefs.

I don’t envy the job of running Twitter which is why you can tell Dorsey tried like hell for years to move away from it. Imagine cp on a global scale. Every day finding and nuking trolls and bots. Having a wide range of opposing opinions and trying to keep the space enjoyable. All while appeasing advertisers. Now imagine this on a global scale where other countries will regulate the hell out of hate speech and others who will murder or imprison people over speech. And that is an insight into what musk inherited and I don’t think he even realized what he got himself into. It’s more a wonder that Twitter has survived as long as it has.

I take it you don't work in IT? I use to go into the office and work 60-70 hrs per week then Covid hit and I haven't been back in the office since. I still put in 40-50 hrs\week but I am not doing those long hours again unless it is an emergency.

If you are a software\IT company and don't have a WFH policy good luck trying to find quality employees anymore, that ship has sailed. That is why Elon started back tracking on his ultimatum but it was to late. All of those software developers\engineers can go work somewhere else and work from home with the same pay or probably more.

Honestly there is no reason why most people whether they are in Administrative staff, IT, Finance, Accounting, HR need to be in the office anymore other than some out of touch or old manager think by having them in the office they can control them better. Not realizing that crappy employees will find ways to waste time in the office just as easily as they could working from home.

Times have changed.

Nah,

There are a billion reasons those other positions work better in person. IT might be the only one that works decent to great outside and thats because of the nature of it.

Admin/Finance/Accounting/HR where information needs to flow quickly and answers need to be had right away will always work better in person.
