Elon Musk will begin laying off Twitter employees on Friday morning, according to a memo sent to staff, as several Twitter employees file a class action lawsuit alleging the layoffs are in violation of labor law.

The email sent Thursday evening notified employees that they will receive a notice by 12 pm ET Friday that informs them of their employment status. “If your employment is not impacted, you will receive a notification via your Twitter email,” a copy of the email obtained by CNN said. “If your employment is impacted, you will receive a notification with next steps via your personal email.

The WARN Act requires that an employer with more than 100 employees must provide 60 days’ advanced written notice prior to a mass layoff “affecting 50 or more employees at a single site of employment.” “Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has made clear that he believes complying with federal labor laws is ‘trivial,’” Attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, who filed the lawsuit, said in a statement to CNN.

Cleaning his house of all the woke💩heads at twitter. Go Elon! Free speech for everyone in America. How it should be. 🇺🇸

Democrats who use 2 Diesel heating oil for their homes might want to switch their votes from 🔵 to red 🔴 so they don't freeze this winter. Biden's cutting of fossil fuels includes zero 2 Diesel oil for heating everyones homes.

Boo😡😡

CNN staff beware.

Joey and the Dems ... and all their activism ... look at the result . Although Elon is way deep I think lol

😒 Since Mr. Musk says he wants Twitter to become complete Open Speech... Let me help him by using Twitter to say that : Mr. Musk Is A Piece Of Trash 🗑

Huh

When elonmusk needs a bailout because of his foolish purchase of Twitter, I hope the treasonous Republicans are just as outraged as they were over student loan forgiveness!

They can come to cnn for a job

The rest of the employees need to stand up for their fellow employees and walk out. Let Elon Musk figure out how to run a company and pay everyone that He fired and quit.

BrasilWasStolen

boycott CNN

Elon now runs a private twatter. He can and is doing what he likes. If you work at twatter good riddance. Karma is wonderful isn't it!

Elon was merciful to those scoundrels..he sent a memo.!

When the toilets clogged, you gotta remove some the the turds to get things going again.

Why should we care?

Enough already. Companies change hands and lay off staff all the time..this is soap opera now.

So sad is Twitter employees have to be laid off to pay for the purchase of Twitter

Nov. 4th Twassacre 😔

They can start using their new pronouns - “was” & “were”

Change is the only thing that does not.

You didn’t think he was going to come in, put his own team in place l, eliminate unnecessary positions and address issues contrary to his vision for the company? 🤡

Are you going to give the same coverage when woke companies start laying of people? It is already happening, with silence from the liberal left wing media.

Fire them ALL! Then hire people who love our Constitution and our Bill of Rights!

Due to the wave of dismissals made by Elon Musk to thousands of Twiiter employees, my account will be closed from November 13 in solidarity with them!

Absolutely antisocial for me.

Why is Tweeter snatching tweet out mid tweet and the subject disappears

Same thing happened when America kicked the Germans out of France

The man is a billionaire and we are questioning how he runs a company? Who’s the fools?

Twitter was fun while it lasted. Musk is murdering it.

Awesome!!!

Don't let the door hit you......

I hear Truth Social is hiring with no pay “ they give you a picture of Trumps ass so you can kiss it at work “😧

Well how many people do you need to run a website full time 🤷‍♂️

No employees will not win, companies lay people off everyday my company just laid 1/3 off no one cares move on

American Liberals HATE free thought and speech. They love being brainwashed and told what to do.

What a terrorist

So as CNN praises advertising has declined at Twitter since Musk toke over reveals CNN’s ideals of censorship of free speech.

Good. They need laid off. They engaged with government to bias, censor and hide information, and you know it. Truth doesn't matter to you. Lies are the bed you lie in.

Elon Musk is pruning back the trees and getting rid of all the deadwood at Twitter. 🪓🪚

Leon musk doing what ? Naah he is just taking revenge for sure

Fire 75% if the twitter staff… get off ur high horse you nasty moderators, start sh8ting your pants

Good

Right before the holidays? Seriously? 4000 people are going to lose their jobs today right before the holidays? Couldn’t have a heart and wait? And losing your job through an email? Come on. It’s not like they can’t afford to keep them a little longer.

Before the elections! How will that work out?

it takes a special kind of scumbag to be one of the richest people in the world, buy a company and eliminate staff. Instead of using his resources and privilege to create jobs and do good for people, he trolls the internet and ruins lives plus has the nerve to ask for money.

if he doesnt address the crypto scammer psycho scammer problem plaqeing twitter, he's gonna pay for it because people will get sick of being victimized and either attack twitter or leave twitter.

And the former Twitter execs... Having come up off this deal... Just take the billions and likely give not even slightly severance to their loyal employees suddenly without a job... And this is what our Eternal Father abhors... It's dumb and slows down our collective growth...

Great!!! Free speech is back

apakah mungkin saya bisa jerja disitu hihoho tahu dirilah

Thats unfortunate. Its right before the holidays. SMH. Where is the LOVE.

New pronouns are was/were

Smart business man. Send the censors packing.

Awesome!

Interesting to see right wingers celebrating people losing their jobs.

Elon is running Twitter like a business. Twitter is bleeding money because it was run a like a social club.

I keep trying to watch you again. But every time I flip to your channel I hear 1/6. I just keep moving. When you do a spot about identity of the person setting boom at DNC I’ll watch. Till then you disappoint

Don't quit twitter if you are liberal. Use more than one and get a varied perspective to keep informed. As a very good performance artist said: HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US.

Has to get those people out of there before they sabotage the company

Islamic Republic security forces shot ErfanZamani then guarded his body, wait for him to die, prevented people getting close to him to help, they shoot whoever wanted to help him too. Protesters in Iran are in danger. Please be our Voice. مهسا_امینی عرفان_زمانی

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

happy holidays LOL.

Does that stop inflation

Get rid of all the people who oppress free speech🫡 thank you elonmusk

so they're fired by a tweet ? how appropriate 🙄

A great way to treat their employees by telling them by email.....think there could be trouble ahead

Good. All they did was sit 🪑 their ass and so spend accounts for telling the truth

As an Iranian, I request Mr. Biden, the President of the United States, not to interfere in Iran's affairs. We love Iran.

And now the employees will sue

The world does not see the women and girls of my country, this is not justice, mothers are tortured and daughters are kidnapped, fathers are shot and children are terrified of this fate, listen to the voice of Afghanistan. please StopHazaraGenocide

Next week's news. Former twitter execs and laid off staff join forces to create alternate platform. Advertisers flock to new platform and dire straits for Musk's Twitter awaits.

I agree with Elon if the employees are doing nothing

SOB!

Nothing last forever. Layoffs are painful but when one door closes another will open. For many this will be a positive to try something else and search for a job or career that gives you passion. Life’s a journey.

Those who are laid off would find it difficult if they had a Tesla payment to make.

Not surprising! He's the king of layoffs. 💼🎭

Red Boy

Although I'm not a labor lawyer, I'm wondering if this doesn't contravene both federal and California WARN Act requirements.

I truly want to know what those workers actually accomplished for Twitter. There seems to be very little.

Remember when CNN reported about all those keystone pipeline employees losing their jobs? Ya me either. They’ll have 100 posts about this though

It's like giving Democrats voters for midterms and they didn't even have to buy them.

The day I will finally stop using Twitter.

SACK THE LOT AND START AGAIN.
