| Nov 21, 2022 at 4:08 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @StephanBranczyk right, I don't plan to focus on Twitter too. Otherwise I think the question would be just closed. | |
| Nov 21, 2022 at 1:25 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | @Qiulang邱朗, I'm not opening that Pandora's box. If you want to discuss Twitter, go on reddit. | |
| Nov 21, 2022 at 1:19 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @StephanBranczyk I know it is much more complex but I can't help find the similarity here and that was why I updated my question yesterday. | |
| Nov 21, 2022 at 1:17 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | @Qiulang邱朗, Twitter is a very complex situation. I don't think it's comparable to yours. | |
| Nov 21, 2022 at 1:14 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @StephanBranczyk do you think this is the situation in twitter ? | |
| Nov 20, 2022 at 17:22 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | @Quilang, I know this is an old question, but I want you to consider a third option. It could just be that your boss was losing control of the situation and that the ship was sinking, but instead of being honest about that, he made it sound like there was a positive reason for doing what he was doing. | |

| Mar 6, 2020 at 2:37 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @HRSE thanks for the link, the answer/comment like this is the one I was looking for! A real research! But how can I get the full article ? | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 16:04 | comment | added | barbecue | @Quilang Your anger is understandable, but try to set it aside. It has nothing to do with you. The real problem is that SE tries to maintain two fundamentally opposing goals at the same time, to be welcoming and inclusive to newcomers, while simultaneously ensuring that low quality or inappropriate questions and answers are demoted. This fundamental contradiction is unresolveable, but nobody's willing to admit that fact. | |

| Mar 5, 2020 at 6:17 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @MawgsaysreinstateMonica thanks! I said it in a comment to Pere's answer. I will think about suggestion. BTW, my question has got 4 close votes and more people said in the comments they want to close it, which made me really angry so I was not so keen to look for new answers and comments now. | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 4:35 | comment | added | Mawg | OP, you mentioned your age in a comment, which I cannot find any more. In software, as in real life, once one passes 35 or so, it becomes difficult to find a job. Past 45, it can be very difficult, especially for a developer. Past 50, almost impossible. However, no one cares at all about contract staff. There, they just see experience. Can you freelance? I would advise trying. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 16:58 | comment | added | user3067860 | @Qiulang The thing missing from the article you link is what impact (if any), Jobs firing people had on the business. That is, Apple is doing really well, but that's not directly attributable to him firing someone...in fact, maybe Apple could be doing even better if the incident had not taken place. The only direct evidence is the one employee in the article saying that they found it de-motivational. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 15:20 | comment | added | mxyzplk | This question needs to be closed as opinion-based; all the answers are completely unsupported opinions based on anecdote and personal lines of reasoning. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 13:00 | comment | added | zero298 | Your MobileMe update only reinforces the top answer. The manager that wouldn't listen (therefore unqualified) was terminated. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 12:03 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @RedSonja what made you think I kept on and on and rejecting everything anyone says? Just because you don't like it then you want me shut up ?! | |

| Mar 4, 2020 at 11:55 | comment | added | RedSonja | I would vote close if I could. This is a subjective question, and has received many reasonable answers, and the OP keeps on and on rejecting everything anyone says. This is not useful. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 10:35 | comment | added | screwnut | Whatever answers you receive, if you suspect they come from someone who is not Chinese, you should take them with a grain a salt. Your question has a very heavy cultural bias. Americans will think your boss is stupid, but that's because of the cultural difference not because of some universal truth. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 8:51 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @JohnHamilton Thanks for letting me know it. I wish the other two close votes can tell me their reasons. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 8:41 | comment | added | John Hamilton | This question seems to have become a forum since it has had one too many edits transforming the entire question and becoming more and more opinion based. I have flagged for closure as it "needs more focus". | |

| Mar 4, 2020 at 2:06 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @RichardTingle I just cited the article to let people know that story in case people didn't know. I know the article actually criticized Jobs action. | |

| Mar 3, 2020 at 17:20 | comment | added | Richard Tingle | I'm not sure I understand what the Steve Jobs link is about (in the context of your question)? The article seems to be about how a culture of fear led to disaster | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 17:07 | comment | added | guest | Are you asking in general or speciafically about your situation (which is in the software business)? | |
