hey that’s insulting. against pigeons. they can at least fly without exploding (space x doesnt really), navigate to places without risking themselves (unlike telsa autopilot) and they don’t ruin every corporation they own. fuck musk though
poetry
Can’t we all agree to just ignore him? Like stop posting about him and quit Twitter? He thrives off negative attention.
No people can’t because they’re addicted to outrage-porn and being degraded (humiliation fetish).
Problem is that lots of people do not leave Tw(X)tter and are not intending to do so :( And some are on Mastodon sort of pretending to have left the Pigeon sh*t CEO product, but still posting mostly screenshots from the old site. Good thing is that some are pretty clear about having left and encouraging others to follow like here : https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor ->
Journalists, please leave Twitter and join the fediverse.
Here’s how to get started:Even join Bluesky. It’s pretty good, I am enjoying, lots of public figures there too.
Isn’t it invite only?
No, it went to open signups a few months ago. I’ve been on it since February.
Thanks I’ll check it out
Where is the “how to get started”
Mastodon is as easy as Lemmy,easier even.
There’s a link to this article. I haven’t vetted anything, so take it for what it is.
Ohh that’s how you’re supposed to run businesses! Learn from the business genius! (/s)
Hes so full of shit he has dump the Xcess
I don’t think pigeons deserve that sort of badmouthing.
I love pigeons. They’re cute, I don’t get the hate
They’re dirty, poop everywhere in big cities, and they’re loud.
I don’t hate them generally, but they’re a nuisance in large numbers.
Musk is a nuisance as just one individual.
Don’t conflate all pigeons/doves with rock pigeons. Or Turd/Musk.

Chicago here, pigeons are dicks
I always heard it as seagulls. Swoop in, make a bunch of noise, crap all over everything, then leave.
I’m picturing him walking into Tesla’s offices, going over to the engineers, saying, “make the horn make a fart noise,” and leaving, thinking he’s brilliant.
> be me
> walk into billion dollar company that’s slowly tanking
> entire staff gets down on their knees begging for mercy
> look around
> point to the most impressive technological advancement in transportation of the century since the car was invented
> “what the hell is this?”
> lead project manager raises, still trembling
> “it’s our brand new zero emission self driving car powered entirely by the air around it and it can be produced for half the cost of our existing line”
> do that obama lip thing
> “not bad, not bad”
> idea pops into my head

> “what if… you made the horn sound a fart?”
> everybody has a nervous breakdown
> cut half the team and leave without elaborating
> be homeless dude wielding machete

“The bear is sticky with honey”
My God he’s brilliant…

What does “sh*ts” means?
Shits.
Gender neutral word for shitting.
I never knew shitting was gender related
Soooo… just a bog-standard CEO, then.
As much as I hate them, I would wager that the majority of CEOs are more educated, smarter and have a better understanding of their business than Elon “Failed Upward” Musk.
CEOs are more educated, smarter and have a better understanding of their business
You haven’t met that many of them, have you?
I have - the difference between the ones I met and the likes of Elon is that none of the ones I met had any interest in being celebrities. That’s the only difference - their institutionalized incompetence was the exact same.
Yeah, they only want to be well-connected with other CEOs and big investors so they can jump between orgs.
That said, some CEOs are decent. We just got a new CEO, and they seem decent. They have industry experience, not just an MBA from a prestigious school, and they asked the right questions when visiting recently. We’re not a huge org though (a few thousand people), but we are publicly traded (not in the US).
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Elon’s final form as a pigeon manager

I’ve never heard of pigeon management but I have heard something similar described as playing chess with a pigeon as someone who “knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board then struts aroind like they’ve won”.
Here’s some more anti-patterns https://gist.pother.ca/2e5817a37b1229ea1930/
poltergeist
um, isn’t that a DTO?

Have to say, that’s a pretty epic surname.
Thanks for the list. While there are some that I read about previously, a few of the other patterns are something that I only experienced.
It is nice to know that these have been identified and labelled by others in the industry. :D
There’s a picture this makes me think of where a bunch of birds are sitting on a tree in typical pyramid hierarchy diagram positions, and each level of birds starting from the second is covered in more shit than the previous.

The true trickle down
The ol’ Swoop-n-Poop as an ex (awesome) boss used to call it.
I brought it up w/ my team and we all got a laugh. We even shared some war stories about bad bosses.
I’m a boss now, so hopefully I’m not like that. I ask my employees to report me to my boss if I do something stupid.
Do they mean seagull?
Steven management?
Edit: I was joking around. Since Seagal sounds very similar to seagull.
MINE-agement
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, never heard it called pigeon management before
Maybe they mean pigeon to make it sound like he isn’t able to be a seagull manager. Like he’s trying to be a seagull manager, but only managed pigeon manager. A quiet insult.
Maybe all Tesla managers are as dumb as Musk himself and they did mean Pigeon but in an unironic way.
Seems more like he’s combining it with a quote:
“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyways.”
Yep, that’s what I’m guessing, too.
It’s not pigeon management unless it’s from the city region of new york
We called this the “swoop and poop” in a previous job of mine. Definitely not something encouraged or enjoyed.
