As someone who has been laid off from a disastrous, toxic, work environment, I can assure you the Twitter employees who are being laid off today, ARE ECSTATIC. If Musk didn’t provide them at least 60 days severance in California, he will (again), be slapped with lawsuits.
This is why you don't fire the head of Legal.
Twitter sued by employees after mass layoffs begin
LMAO. On top of 60 days pay they’re entitled to (under CA WARN Act) these separated Twitter employees will very likely receive *punitive damages* as well, for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. (One only need look at the idiot’s TL for the evidence.)
These are highly-qualified people. They will secure new jobs immediately, and will be compensated for the illegal way they were separated. (I bought a new home, went on vacation, and had a new job the following week. 🤭).
This keeps happening to Elon Musk. (Tesla has no inhouse Legal, btw.) Maybe Elon Musk isn't very bright?
I've had to lay off thousands of people. It's a gut-wrenching, soul-sucking process. You can do it, and try to do your utmost to leave people with their dignity intact.
This ain't it. This is cruelty, and it is purposeful.
"Here's what's going on at Twitter right now: It's a nightmare.
Employees are sounding the alarm about how it could make getting reliable information on this site during Tuesday's elections impossible." #TwitterLayoffs
See: "Some employees I'm hearing from at Twitter are desperate to get laid off and get severance. The work culture there is beyond toxic." #TwitterLayoffs
Musk met with Bolsonaro in May 2022. Think about what you know about Bolsonaro, and see if you buy any of this. Oh, and Bolsonaro met with Putin, *just before* he invaded Ukraine in February. 👀 cnbc.com/2022/05/20/elo…
Do you really believe Bolsonaro wanted to “protect” the Amazon, or just surveil it? 🤔
Parler was jubilant about Kanye West buying it. Then the problems started. Candace Owens’ husband, George Farmer, is CEO of Parler. Another trust fund baby. Pop’s is Lord Farmer. Rebekah Mercer gave Farmer the seed money as she was banned from platforms. politico.com/news/2022/10/2…
George Farmer re antisemitism on Parler: meh
All Candace had to do was put on that White Lives Matter shirt, and the deal was on, apparently. (Epically stupid, if true.)
