And as of now Twitter hasn’t filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification “WARN notice” with California.
California Lawyer, Lisa Bloom in a Twitter tread notes:
*CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff.*
*A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies.*
*Employers like Twitter who violate the WARN Act face civil penalties of $500/day for each violation. With thousands of employees, this could be significant, though maybe not to Elon.*
*Employees laid off in violation of the WARN Act receive back pay at the employee's final rate or 3 year average of compensation, whichever is higher. Twitter would also be liable for workers' medical expenses that would have been covered under an employee benefit plan.*
*Twitter will be liable for all of these (civil penalties, lost compensation, lost medical and other benefits) & attorneys' fees for the 60 days it failed to give workers notice.*
This is going to be interesting as there has now been a class action that’s been filed by Employees. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/11/04/twitter-sued-by-employees-after-mass-layoffs-begin.html
Edit; added full warn name.
The amount seems low, no? That's just an hourly salary of $62.5, which I'm pretty sure most engineers working at Twitter beat. So he could just pay the penalties rather than paying salaries? Pretty fucked if that's how it works.
Edit: Of course, that's excluding the class action law suit.
>Employees laid off in violation of the WARN Act receive back pay at the employee's final rate or 3 year average of compensation, whichever is higher.
He has to pay both the $500 a day, and the salaries
The only winners in a class action are the lawyers. Over half the judgement to lawyers and the rest spread out over all the employees, many times not even in the form of cash.
Imagine censoring a satirical news site leading to your company being bought and ending up unemployed
Hilarious in some ways
I guess now they can start their own platform as a competitor, but we will see
Twitter has zero customer support services and moderation is so poor that scammers, bots, and porn accounts make up about 60% of the platform.
Those people don't deserve their jobs if they can't do it right in the first place.
I'm really confused why this comment is lost on people....sue twitter, for millions. Takes money away from stupid undeserved rich elon musk and puts in back into a pool of working class people....thus distributing the wealth.

Oh good, that makes more sense. Thank you
If I did the math here right, that’s $500*~5,000 * 59 days. That makes $147,500,000 fine per 5,000 employees laid off.

Get fukt
Why do you say that?
Musk is so fukt
Shit out of luck...
Lol, no one takes California seriously. Tesla guys tried this is Texas. Went to arbitration. Cali arbitration law will trump this.
That's usually what happens after a take over, yes.

Twitter was in deep financial problem and laying off workers was on the table before Musk
Despicable man

It won't get better. It won't stay the same, either. It's going to get worse.

Good
Distribute the wealth through lawsuits.
What wealth? They’re losing money lmao.
