Isn't big tech like Google, Amazon, FB, Yahoo, Zoom..........laying off thousands of people right now?
My guess would be more marketable than average since the average quality of the person let go goes up with percentage of employees let go and the arbitrariness of the selection process. Also people who quit are the ones confident they can get another job (or don’t need one).
If I were the engineer I’d go out in a flame. Tell Space Karen to go F himself.

Elon Musk’s reach on Twitter is dropping — he just fired a top engineer over it
“It’s chaos here right now, so we’re shipping chaos.”www.theverge.com
On Tuesday, Musk gathered a group of engineers and advisors into a room at Twitter’s headquarters looking for answers. Why are his engagement numbers tanking?
Wait...so Elon called a meeting because his engagement numbers were tanking? Not because the company's metrics were tanking, but because his numbers were tanking? The engineers should have quit on the spot and told Elon to go F himself. Elon's stupid numbers could tank but as long as the company is making a bigger profit, that is what matters. Not Elon's personal numbers. Now I suppose you could argue that since Twitter isn't publicly traded and Elon is the owner, he could define its mission as being "whatever Elon wants". But companies whose owners use their companies to try to support their own personal interests instead of the interests of the company generally don't do too well. There was a company called Fry's Electronics which the owners apparently used to support their gambling habits. We never got a look at its financials because it wasn't required to ever show them but it's defunct now.
That says something. Twitter was massively bloated for what they do.
Yep, people act like it's equivalent, but the scale of firings were much less. I've repeated this a billion times on this thread, but Twitter likely would have fired people to deal with the economy regardless of Elon's purchase, but it wouldn't be nearly the same scale Elon did.
He's a bit of a thin skinned snowflake, isn't he?
It has been established that he is actually more of a Space Karen.
Yeah, there's been a lot of reported anecdotes like this over the years - Elon randomly firing people who are under pressure who give him an answer he doesn't like. Nothing new, but seems quite reactive and certainly getting more attention these days.
It was all “kosher” until he became an apostate to the progressives.

Everyone else was criticizing him before it became fashionable.

I’m surprised threatening to go “thermonuclear” on them didn’t work.
