I am sure he knows how to sweep out the Rats.
NBC peddling misinformation as usual, in service of the liberal Establishment and the ruling Party.
Not going to happen.
Yeah ok. What a bunch of BS. Here in the US, you can be let go without any notice as it happens all the time. These are just angry snowflakes who are mad that they cannot suppress people’s freedom of speech anymore. Buh-bye Twitter fascists!
After watching the video of Twitter personnel talking about hacking users and ruining lives, these people will not win. They should get fired!
I’m sure Elon didn’t look into the laws before he fired them all. Only really rich people do stuff like understand how to make money without losing money. Oh wait.
Tell that to the lockdowns of 2020
Pretty sure they got a healthy severance pay.
God bless California
I support the employees and the union. As soon as I can figure out how to cancel my account, I'm doing it.
Really you find this surprising another rich spoiled brat that is doing the unthinkable....elonmusk also does not care about women even if they are pregnant..
Whomever is suing will lose. The laws do not say that per se. If there is some form of separation compensation all is good.
He gave 90 day severance so he in effect gave a paid 90 day notice. The WARN Act does not apply.
NBC News retracts stunning report on Paul Pelosi attack
Say, would you be so kind topublish your “reporting standards”? I’ve got a copy of North Korea’s SOP and just want to compare the two.
How about that Pelosi report you aired on the Today show this morning? Where’d it go?
That didn't seem to stop the military, hospitals, and police forces.
Maybe you should have ask Elon Musk prior to this tweet.
Sue elonmusk
NY has a similar law. Ooops! 💩
Unfortunately for the employees, he's paid them until February. Case closed.
But if he’s offered them 60 day severance pay, then the law doesn’t apply. Another frivolous lawsuit.
He is paying them until FEBRUARY. They need to stop whining and find another job.
Read the fine print. They're getting paid for the next 90 days as if they're working, but they are not to be in the office. There's your 90 day notice now quit whining
What exactly are your standards We all saw the report on Pelosi and saw it again on Fox. Pelosi knew his attacker and was not in distress when Police arrive. Your story is right from the police write up! Release the body cam footage!! Stop covering up crimes for your friends 👎
Why did you retract the Pelosi story, to much political pressure?
People are being paid for the next six months. Won’t be sued.
60 day salary in leu of the 60 day advanced notice is to be paid. Fair enough.
So nice to see the hate speech down since so many of the liberals have left.
The employees won’t win shit because he is offering severance. All he needs to do is provide the loss earnings of the year before and he stands to lose 700 million if he doesn’t trim the fat. No settlement for a company already in the red. Keep dreaming spoiled programmers
Hopefully Musk excised the entire tumor within his organization.
Maybe they should learn to code?
Yer fired bich.
The only THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY are these desperate democrats suggesting that voting Republican - IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.
He’s tweeted that he’s offering 3mo of severance (and benefits?) which would cover the 60 day min?
Marxist companies are exempt.
What a great magician elonmusk is. He’s making 44billion dollars disappear in a few days.
Sue him into oblivion
If their HR and Legal folks don’t know about this law he’ll be firing them tonight.
Lol
Yes but… The folks let go today are still technically employed until Jan 4. With full salary and benefits. They’re just physically and digitally severed. So, today isn’t an actual termination. It’s the required 60-day notice. What did I get wrong?
There's a class action lawsuit against the Government forcing people to take the vaccination or lose their jobs...
If Todayshow can track down a 'sleep expert' to talk about DSTime, perhaps it could find a lawyer to discuss the applicability of the WARN Act to Twitter's downsizing.
Why’d y’all hide the video with the new details about Paul Pelosi’s attack?
Where’d that Pelosi info go?!
