sunk cost fallacy

your real estate doesn't become a better investment just because you fill it with employees who don't want to be there

let it be empty


I don't think sunk cost is the main reasons why CEOs are asking workers back.

Outside the usa working at least 3 days at the office is the norm.

It's yet to be seen what the long term consequences of the us swimming against the the tide would be


It isn't the norm outside of the USA


A lot of idiocy out there in the wild


While there may be those who are happy about this, he's sure to find half the company is rather angry at this


We the techies started to behave like primadonnas last few years. I find the current wave of layoffs, go back to office etc and other ways to show who really holds the power in the relationships refreshing.


Yeah, without a whip cracking I wouldn't even know that I am at work.


Well when Twitter envitably collapses due to tech reasons, legal reasons or it just plain goes bankrupt.

And given that a lot of companies have already been forced to back down on back to the office.

Yes, who holds the power will be clear for all to see.


I trust the guy that was able to land rocket back on earth reliably to be able to keep a very simple tech product alive.

Right now to me it looks that people in our industry desperately wants twitter to fail - otherwise it will validate Elon Musk's assessment that the laid off were just drones (in the Wodehouse sense of the word) and know that other corporations will take notice and probably do massive layoffs just for the sake of it.


I can't speak for a company like Twitter, but I suspect that many individuals in tech at other companies don't have it so easy.

If you think, CEOs around the USA are going to look at what Elon has done and fire half their tech staff, I think you are nuts.


Those CEO's should learn about Price's Law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z3OZ7QuJE0


The issue ReptileMen is that Elon Musk DID NOT land any rockets, hell he didn't even setup SpaceX. He just brought his way into SpaceX. Elon Musk's one true achievement is PayPal, nothing more, nothing less.


> he didn't even setup SpaceX

I think it was tesla that he bought his way into 'founding'. It seems like he did actually start spacex
