'Not a good look' | Twitter's Elon Musk faces down burned out staff with latest controversial move

We’re nearing the halfway point in December, and it’s safe to say that employee energy reserves are probably running low. The onus, then, should now be on ensuring that the fatigue felt toward the end of what has been an incredibly eventful year, does not turn into burnout.

The preconceived assumption here is that you believe in employee wellbeing enough to consider work-life balance a top priority. For Twitter boss Elon Musk, it seems that such a concept couldn’t be further from the truth.

Musk, who has seemingly committed just about every HR cardinal sin possible within his short time as the majority owner of Twitter, has proven time and time again that workers are but a tool to fulfil his demands, and nothing more.
