One of Egypt's top government officials has invited Elon Musk to see the Great Pyramids of Giza for himself after the Tesla CEO claimed that the historical landmark was built by aliens.

On Friday, Musk tweeted: "Aliens built the pyramids obv." His tweet got more than 500,000 likes. 

This prompted Egypt's Minister of International Co-operation, Rania al-Mashat, to personally invite the Tesla CEO to the country to see the pyramids for himself and learn about their history.

On Saturday, Al-Mashat tweeted: "I follow your work with a lot of admiration. I invite you & Space X to explore the writings about how the pyramids were built and also to check out the tombs of the pyramid builders."

"Mr. Musk, we are waiting for you," she added.

The Tesla CEO did later follow up his tweet with another link to a BBC article which detailed the lives of the ancient pyramid builders, saying: "This BBC article provides a sensible summary for how it was done," he wrote.

But his tweet prompted more than one public figure to speak out in Egypt.

Egyptian archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, who was responsible for discovering the tombs of the pyramid builders at Giza, said Musk's argument was a "complete hallucination," according to the BBC.

I liked my work, especially the challenges pertaining to the job. The only thing I could not adapt to, was the boorish treatment meted out by our boss to his subordinates. Human beings tend to make mistakes, and being a trainee, I also made a mistake at work, and in the presence of all my colleagues, my boss shouted at me “Fu…….off”. Humiliated and depressed, I went to the locker room with flooded eyes. One of my colleagues advised me that this is very normal in this company, and even though a rude person, our manager is very good at heart. Due to my personal commitments, I decided to stay in the company until I get a new job. Though despised to the core, I continued to listen to unpleasant phrases from him. I do not...

Should Succession Plan be a secret?

Image
  There are many organizations and HR Heads who believe that the succession plan should always be kept confidential and divulging the succession planning process to concerned employees can affect the organization negatively. In many companies, the succession planning process is a mystery and promotions are a surprise.  Even today many management professionals believe that revealing the succession plan to employees can destabilize the organizational harmony and team spirit.
