Epilogue of my time working at Twitter
There&#x27;s a lot of good stuff in this post. You should read it for yourself before commenting here. (Word count is 2413 in case you&#x27;re wondering.) I do want to call out one very questionable aspect:<p>&gt; I’ve pulled many all-nighters in my career<p>&gt; Sometimes I get asked about how I felt when I got laid off, and the truth is it was the best gift I’ve ever received.<p>&gt;  Going on a sabbatical afterward has been exactly what I needed to decompress and I’m finally feeling rested and relaxed.<p>In my long career, I&#x27;ve never pulled an all-nighter, and I don&#x27;t think that we should ever allow capitalists to deprive us of the essentials, such as sleep. Musk doesn&#x27;t give a damn about you or your sacrifices, and obviously he fired Crawford anyway, despite the all-nighters. Always put yourself, your physical and mental health, before your employer&#x27;s profit. Crawford said, &quot;I think of life as a game&quot;, but it&#x27;s not really a game, which you&#x27;ll eventually learn the hard way as you get older. You have only one life, and you need to pace yourself, protect yourself. What&#x27;s the point of working so hard that you render yourself incapable of working anymore, burning yourself out and needing a long period where you cannot generate any income? I&#x27;ve seen this time and again, but it&#x27;s actually counterproductive. Please don&#x27;t pull those all-nighters, it only encourages the worst exploitation from management. Certainly don&#x27;t be <i>proud</i> of your needless sacrifices.
