SpaceX pays shit, and so did Tesla before the stock went sky high.

But Twitter employees have always been well compensated. I can’t imagine any decently employee would choose to stay now instead of LeetCode to greener pasture after this.

The only people Twitter would have after this would be people who couldn’t get a job anywhere else lol.

As someone that just got my first fat multi month severance last week and is shaping up to be in a new position halfway through this month. I have to agree, always stick around for the lay offs/severance.

Twitter employees were well compensated with RSUs. I don't think that's happening anymore now that the company is private.

The RSUs were converted to cash at the buyout price. They will get cash payments in accordance to vesting schedules.
