Twitter

     Well, that's happening. Who'd a thought the world's richest man, who grew up during Apartheid supported by his daddies emerald mine, could be a bully when it comes to taking over a company. Come to think of it the two guys who actually created Tesla could probably give you chapter and verse unless the takeover involved a non disclosure agreement.  

    Elon rolled in there like it was still the 80s and the staff had no desire but to hang onto their jobs like it was the only kind of life they knew. That was when the company BLACKBERRY began to earn its bad name and its addictive use gave it the label crackberry. Employees were on all the time with that thing and managers expected immediate attention at all times day or night. I could go on about the social damage that created but I won't.  

    I'd be willing to bet a lot of the people that just got fired or quit are kids of the crackberry addicts who's jobs eventually got outsourced to India or China. They know what happens when you mistakenly think a company will repay overwhelming loyalty and dedication in kind. 

    On a practical side a lot of the tech companies over staffed during the pandemic and a thinning of the flock was going to happen anyway. This is a business and businesses have practical considerations. Firing the person in charge of the door passes seems to be a bit rash. Wonder if that person ever answered when they asked them to come back and at least unlock the doors?  

    I'm still on Twitter and so are a lot of other people. What I'm doing as well is dipping my toe in a lot of other ponds. I've been posting things on Tumblr for a long time but I never really took it seriously. Now I guess I will. I finally started posting to Reddit and I have taken on Hive. Don't really understand either of them but I didn't really GET twitter for years either. 

    I'll be there promoting my work. If you like series books check out this series. 

    If I was a decent artist it would have ended up as a graphic novel. It's a series with a female super hero. 

NO CAPES!
