Day One of New Twitter

Day one of #NewTwitter I don't have access to a tool I need to use to stop traffic to a system I'm trying to shut down, in order to save money to pay interest payments on the loan used to acquire the company. When asking around for help getting access to this tool, it turns out the entire team that managed it has been let go. There's nobody in my management chain in the same timezone as me still employed, so I have no way to escalate this for hours. Maybe day two will be better. The pager schedule updated and I'm on call today, for a bunch of systems which I've only heard the names of before. The true experts in them are no longer here.

A series of fake tweets describes an increasingly disastrous first day at a newly acquired company: essential tools are inaccessible, the team responsible for them has been fired, management is unavailable, and the inexperienced narrator is suddenly on call. The joke parodies chaotic corporate layoffs and is commonly sent as a reaction to a workplace crisis or an overly optimistic “day one” situation.
