Depends on the intended use.

Human/brain interfaces have tons of potential for helping people with injuries to their central nervous system. Someone could eventually regain the ability to walk with just a few chips and electrodes.

However if it's like "fuck yeah I wanna mainline the Internet" then yeah, that shit sucks.

Of course Elon owns the company, so it's bound to be the stupid thing.

Yeah really. I can stop using Twitter because nobody gives a shit about me. My thoughts have 0 impact.

Companies and figures can't simply ignore the platform and remain competitive.

You don't have to do anything of the sort, especially when you've been fully remote for years.

If the company was able to survive 3+ years fully remote, it can survive indefinitely.

I understand that it might feel good to "throw it in the faces" of... Whoever the fuck you're trying to feel superior over, but this kind of divisiveness only serves to benefit the company and harm the workers.

They can't.

Unless they're referring to scummy mega-banks that exist by fucking over the little guy with random fees, hard to close accounts, and other scummy practices like Wells Fargo, BofA, etc.

But banks as an institution? No.

They definitely didn't because they count the sleeves that those prize pieces are on.

What really happens is they print 5 million part 1 pieces and like 10 part 2 pieces.

You don't want to deal with the shit HR handles for you.

I'm sure there are plenty of bad, bureaucratic messes, but 3/4 of the HR departments I the last 10 years have been quite helpful.

The outlier was just not very communicative, but otherwise good.

Maybe it's the industry. I work in clinical so we're used to documenting the fuck out of everything. HR mandated documentation is just another step to cover all of our asses.
