I work for a private company that does business with some of Elon's companies. The people that I have to interface with at their respective companies are generally very young, have unrealistic expectations, they're impatient, and rude. They have big Zoomer energy. They change roles frequently and don't build any sort of personal relationship with their vendors. I can only imagine that these people are under extreme pressure and are treated poorly by their superiors, so they project that negativity onto whoever they can.

We're a best in class company for our industry, but these people have no class. No forethought, and no sense of self awareness. I wouldn't work for any of his companies personally and if you're being recruited, I highly suggest avoiding them unless you have no alternates.

Even the more mature employees at these companies are more immature than you could imagine.

Sounds just like another downstream effect of broken money. Short term horizon everything.

Maybe, but we don't have these issues at the company I work for and we're not small. We have over 20,000 employees. Leadership plays a huge part regardless of the complete piece of trash dollar.

And they lie. Without any thought at all. They will spout any company slogan even if it’s literally retarded & easily disproven.

I hate that part of business.

Being truthful is sometimes not what’s best for promotions or $$.

You are right about that. They lie frequently. I can't believe I left that out. I told them it would be 12 weeks for a project back in mid January and now, 4 weeks later they're telling me the project is taking significantly longer than expected. 🤡😂

* Please see email below where I told you it was 12 weeks. GFY

Yes. Document the shit out of everything. Lies lead to wasted time/work.

I learned long ago to document every single interaction with verifying email. Takes 2 minutes but goes something like “thanks for the time speaking about X today. You confirmed & agreed to Y. Agreed next steps are Z”.

CC: someone with real power if they aren’t it.
