You have to show up to work once a month to collect your paycheck!<br \/>Twitter\u2019s employees are getting a lot of love and sympathy on Twitter from the blue-check brigade, who are appalled at the idea that you can get fired for humiliating your boss publicly or for refusing to, you know, show up at all.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s hard to explain to people in the laptop class just how bizarre this all sounds to blue-collar workers. You\u2019re being asked to show up to work and you tell your boss no \u2014 and you\u2019re the victim here?<\/p>\n<p>This just isn\u2019t stuff we could imagine getting away with. We have to get dressed and drive to work \u2014 and pay exorbitant gas prices to do so. We have to sit in traffic in the morning, or take crime-addled public transportation. We don\u2019t have the luxury of sitting at home in pajama bottoms.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>All throughout the COVID response, we blue-collar workers showed up to work, day in and day out. There was no \u201cstay at home to save lives.\u201d We risked illness while these people got to work at home while watching TV in their PJs.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s hard for me to feel sympathy for them that this trend is coming to an end.<br \/>That\u2019s not to say I see Musk as some sort of free-speech hero, or someone trying to save America. He is a man trying to run a business and turn a profit.<\/p>\n<p>But for blue-collar workers like me, seeing a company go up in flames over workers refusing to go back to work after the privilege of staying home for three years is mind-boggling.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Twitter-Protecting_Your_Account_27200jpg-cc9cc.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Twitter\" class=\"wp-image-24716456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Twitter-Protecting_Your_Account_27200jpg-cc9cc.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Twitter-Protecting_Your_Account_27200jpg-cc9cc.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Twitter-Protecting_Your_Account_27200jpg-cc9cc.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Twitter-Protecting_Your_Account_27200jpg-cc9cc.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Musk wanted employees to work in the office instead of working remotely. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP\/Stephen Lam<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We\u2019ve paid for the work-from-home, work-from-anywhere trend in other ways, too. I live in Texas, which has had an influx of pajama-class immigrants. They came and drove up the cost of housing, pricing out many city residents from housing in the city they love. And now many of these cities look totally different.<\/p>\n<p>Craziest of all is if you spend any time on Twitter these days, it\u2019s clear that the Left is hoping Twitter fails under Musk. They opposed his takeover vigorously and now they seem to be willing the site to implode.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because they got used to Twitter being on their side politically. And under Musk, there\u2019s real competition of ideas again. Conservatives have been given a chance to speak again. It\u2019s almost like the liberal and leftist elites feel that if they can\u2019t control Twitter, no one should have access to it.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday night, in light of the mass quitting, thousands of accounts started bidding each other goodbye in dramatic fashion, certain the site would disappear by morning. But it was wishful thinking, a chance to \u201cstick it\u201d to those who are or perceived to be on the other side, who finally got access to Twitter.<\/p>\n<p><em>Charles Stallworth is a union railroad worker.
