so unpleasant that most employees will quit. Forcing long commutes is part of that. So is making working conditions at their offices as unpleasant as possible.
At Twitter during the early days of Musk's takeover, he fired the janitors and people had to bring their own toilet paper. Probably soap and towels, too.

Over the last three days, staff in Twitter's office in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City have been seeing the effects of the billionaire's decision to not renegotiate the contracts of facilities maintenance workers who handled in-office supplies and cleaning. Odors from uncleaned bathrooms and several clogged toilets are creeping into hallways and work spaces, according to two people familiar with the stinky situation and messages seen by Insider.
Toilet paper is nowhere to be found in the office, said these people, who asked not to be identified discussing noxious topics. Meanwhile, Musk still requires nearly everyone to work in the office five days a week.
There have been several requests on Slack and by email from employees for someone at the company to rectify the deteriorating bathroom situation, the people familiar said. As of Thursday afternoon, no one had received a response. A spokesperson for Twitter did not reply to a request for comment.
In recent weeks, Musk has been reducing Twitter expenses more than many remaining employees expected, purportedly in an effort to save the company. Several health and wellness benefits have been cut or taken away, free food and office snacks are limited, and office space in San Francisco continues to serve as sleeping quarters and shower space to cut down on hotel costs, while other offices are closed. Even one of Twitter's three main data servers in the US was abruptly shut down last week to save money, three people familiar with the move said.
And this was after he'd already fired most of the staff. These were people he expected to keep working long hours for him.
He's a psychopath, and a sadist.
