In the aftermath of IBM, Disney and Apple pausing spending on X, formerly known as Twitter, top advertising executives made a personal appeal to CEO Linda Yaccarino.
Scapegoat. She’s just Elon’s puppet anyway, and he’d replace her with another puppet. The problem is the owner.
To be clear, she (and lots of other employees) should resign on principle, but not because it would change things at twitter for the better.
Aren’t most of the people left who do actual work at Twitter in the US on work visas? The conditions for them to stay in the country make quitting on principle extremely difficult.
It’s been a year or so. Even in a weaker hiring landscape, software/data/systems engineers are still in high demand. They would have likely been able to leave by now.
At this point it’s likely true believers, right wingers, billionaire bootlickers and people playing a “twitter will rise again” angle.
If mass resignations made it impossible to function and/or forces him to sell, that could make it better.
All the people with H1-B visas that work at Twitter won’t resign because they don’t want to get deported. Musk knows it too.
They’ve had a year to find new employment if they wanted to. While having an H1B may make it more difficult to find a new job, it in no way requires them to remain employed at X/twitter.
Fair point, but I tend to agree with IphtashuFitz on this.
It’s stock value would crash even lower, which would in some ways be changing things for the better
There is no more stock though. It’s a private company.
There are still valuations even if they don’t sell publicly, and those still affect how much they can get in credit, investment, and advertising
That’s what she was hired for: to take the heat off the man baby. Glass cliff.
Scapegoat, they want to start running ads on Twitter again & think we’re fucking stupid.
I get that she was hired as a scapegoat. But isn’t the point of a scapegoat to make it seem like they were the one responsible?
Musk made the tweet that caused this not her.Ehh, shes still the “adult in the room,” which is to say she was hired to rein in the idiot so all the advertisers could make money. She is the scapegoat because she could not do the impossible that she promised would be done.
Its more complicated than normal, but still the same role.
Well they can’t go up to musk and complain about it so this is what they managed to come up with
I mean, most people are stupid. They use scapegoats because most of the time they fucking work. I hate it but it’s true.
You kidding me? She’s got a cushy job where she doesn’t have to know about or do anything, she’s not going anywhere.
That also means she’s easily replaceable. I’m sure they’ll give her a golden parachute for her resignation so that she can pay for her yacht or whatever until she gets the next figurehead job.
Why would they replace her?
Her not resigning says quite a bit as well.
She’s definitely hot on that seat
