Imagine being a developer and getting a phone call at 9pm on Friday of a holiday weekend and being greeted with "Sooooo real funny story. We're going to need to do some heavy load testing on the production server and we're gonna need you to come in"
I would simply say no. But, by this point, I would have been loudly voicing all of the potential problems. Not my problem they ignored all the warnings, I'm not gonna give up a holiday weekend for their fuck up.
If that means they'd let me go so be it
I'm pretty sure the only people working at Twitter at this point are held hostage by their visa, plus maybe a few true musk heads.
Now is the time for the twitter devs to implement "arse covering mode". Although they probably have been in that mode since the buyout.
Keep every email. Recorder or otherwise document every phone call, and insist on every instruction being in writing.
It's amazing how many managers no longer want you to do a thing when you insist that the instructions to do that thing are in writing.
I’m quite certain the only people left at twitter at this point are the ones who won’t or can’t say no.
