Its new owner Twitter, billionaire Elon Musk recently fired nearly half of his staff, creating a firestorm of backlash. In fact, he did not hesitate two of his employees who criticized publicly with posts on famous platform to add them to the “list” of departures. In one of the two cases, Musk announced the firing by tweeting to his followers. More specifically, after a fairly public confrontation with Eric Fraunhoferthe engineer who has been working on the famous platform for the past eight years, reportedly saw the exit in this unusual way.
“I’ve spent about six years working on the Twitter app for Android and I can say that this is wrong” wrote Fronhofer in his own comment, which apparently angered him technology tycoons.
“Then please correct me. What is the correct number??” the employer asked his employee in an annoyed tone. “Twitter is incredibly slow on Android. What have you done to fix this?’ he added.
The engineer explained to him three reasons why he thinks the implementation is slow, referring to problems created by the company’s past practices. His answer did not satisfy Musk, who replied that “the fact that he does not realize that there are about 1,200 microservices that are called when someone uses Twitter is not good.”
On Monday morning, Musk tweeted “Fired”.
