An ex- Facebook executive said that an employee was upset about the quality of toilet paper.
He said that the day Musk told employees to quit was the day.
Tech executives believe that employees are too lazy.
Tech employees may see less perks in the near future.
David Marcus, a former Facebook and PayPal executive, made a reference to that in a November 16th message. An employee once complained about the quality of the company's toilet paper during an all-hands meeting, according to him.
The time of complaining to the CEO of a large tech company at an all hands in front of thousands of people about the quality of toilet paper has come to an end.

It was posted on the day that Musk sent the entire staff an email saying they would be fired if they didn't work hard enough.
The belief among some tech executives that employees have become too lazy and entitled in regards to workplace privileges is reflected in Marcus' and Musk's emails. At a time when tech giants like Meta have been holding tense all-hands meetings where employees ask questions about how cost cutting measures will affect their perks, it comes at a time.
One employee asked the CEO why he was cutting travel and merchandise budgets despite the company's record profits.
The New York Post reported that an employee at Meta asked the CEO if the extra vacation days would continue next year.
CNBC and the New York Post reported that in both of the meetings, Pichai and Zuckerberg said that their companies needed to improve their productivity because of the tough economic environment.
Marcus has made similar statements in the past. Marcus said that the tech industry was going through a difficult time and that new companies would focus on productivity and doing more with less.
Marcus has commented on his employees' work ethic before.
According to an internal email reviewed by VentureBeat, when Marcus was the president of PayPal, he sent an email to his staff that criticized them for generating a lower number of client leads than other offices.
Marcus berated the San Jose employees for not using the company's products and pressured them to leave if they were not committed to the company's mission.
Marcus wrote in the email that if you are one of the people who refused to install thePayPal app or if you can't remember yourPayPal password, go find something that will connect with your heart and mind elsewhere.
