The Navy doesn't differentiate between wartime and peacetime for training or operations, generally. The difference would lie in what type of ordnance we used (real during wartime, inert during peace) and the measures we operated under at sea (we'd emit less signals and dog the hatches).

Also, in wartime, it's actually even more important that a new CO didn't upset the delicate balance or change procedures, because you need to rely on your skills and drills during wartime even more! Changing things just makes it harder to do your job and during wartime that would be deadly.

Also, you don't know where or when I served, so don't make assumptions.

I meant no disrespect, just an educated guess since there has been no major war after WWII..

I'm mainly talking about the difference in strategy/posture during wartime vs peacetime.. Just look at whats happening in Ukraine rn, Russia changing commanders to go full scorched earth.

To save a company like Twitter, this is exactly the kind of thing u need to do. Private equity does this all the time.

Ah yes, it's like Sun Tzu said, the best way to wage a war is to get rid of half your army, and demoralize the other half.

If half of the army hates you and is trying to make you lose, yeah.

I don't think he got rid of people based on how they felt about him, but even if he did, surrounding yourself with yes men is not a good strategy

Seeing someone who served in the Navy being told that their peacetime service is very different from the war that Twitter is currently experiencing is... I'm not even sure how to react to that. Lots of execs like to stretch those military metaphors -- they're all in the trenches, all hands on deck, take no prisoners and all that -- but I think you may have stretched this one way past its breaking point.

You're twisting my words. Peacetime is different to wartime is a general statement that has nothing to do with his service.

Military metaphors are common in business for a reason. Modern business management inherited a lot of the military after WW2. To this day, you'll see people with Special Ops history consulting businesses (Echelon Front)

> Twitter is in a shit load of trouble and unlike Meta & Snap which are crashing like a shitcoin..

Whatever state Twitter was in before Musk entered with a white knight syndrome, it was in a better state than it is now.

> Elon bought Twitter at 2x-3x what its actually worth.

Well, that was his first mistake at Twitter before he even "owned" it.

its is in signigicantly better shape. Ops cost have basically halved whilst growth metrics are breaking records. Revnue down because of commie backlash but thats been replaced by blue subscriber revenue in real time..

still tho, that 2x-3x multiple is a huuge gap to close and the company is still far from getting out its troubles. Troubles which btw existed wayyy before Elon or the recessions.

You google Twitter financials and metrics over the past years, its been grossly mismanaged..
