Twitter has been hit with allegations from 100 former employees affected by mass layoffs at the company, including that it unfairly laid off more women than men and terminated employees who were on medical or parental leave.

The allegations were included as part of the former employees’ demands for arbitration against the company, according to a statement on Tuesday by attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan. Liss-Riordan is the same attorney who has brought four proposed class action lawsuits against Twitter by former employees affected by Elon Musk’s takeover. The arbitration demands are meant to help workers who can’t participate in that litigation because of contracts they signed with the company.

Another suit was filed by a group of former employees who accuse Twitter of breach of contract because it allegedly failed to follow through on promises to allow remote work and provide consistent severance benefits after the acquisition. Twitter, which recently laid off much of its communications department, did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the arbitration demands.

Something worse:Why is corporate journalism rushing to defend the state instead of the people? The elite are imbued with a prejudiced biased certainty of being the good with justification against being confronted with the not to be asked question trained to silence.

All “at will” employees…….. nuff said

I think Elon has the right to terminate some employees because he his a new owner of the company and part of a new management.

Poor babies lost their job welcome to the working world better call mom and tell her you’re moving back into the basement

FBI ABC 60min elonmusk New ownership is allowed to correct errors of a failing business. Layoffs come with the territory, it's not a welfare system. Perhaps the FBI plants should all be fired as well.Question, are any of these X-FBI Agents 'Election Experts '❓️ 🇺🇲

Cry babies

Why would anyone keep a-holes that suppressed FREE SPEECH on behalf the FBI, funny that a news outlet left that part out of their narrative

they will claim they were unfairly laid off for fairly not being useful at twitter and try to reach an unfair agreement that will be fairly beneficial to them. and then, they will tweet about it...

Sounds like they have their radical left lawyers in place🙄

Poor attempts by the US media wing to grab back and own the narrative on all social media.

I’m sure they’re going to argue that they’re a protected class. But the real question is how was their performance? I’m betting nobody wants to ask the most important thing. people who grew up getting participation trophies can’t understand the real world.

I just here for the memes 👀

More women can be fired, pregnant or not. That just means more women were in positions they cut back on. And pregnant women weren’t fired for being pregnant, obviously.

What a tool

From the people laughed when it happened to coal workers

😂

New Sheriff in town. I hate to fire you after you just had a baby but “It’s the Law of the West”

Life sucks get used to it

Your honor, he told us to work more!!

Wao u find that as national headline ? Not Twitter files ?

Musk knew it will happen. It was an added price to pay and save the company...

Bunch of sooks

How about prosecuting the Federal Reserve and Congress for creating yet another recession which means people getting fired?

The most amazing part of this story is that there were actually people at Twitter back then that know what the definition of a woman was. Kudo's to Twitter for employing so many biologists.

You would rather us care about this then the 1.7 trillion dollars of waste the lying government is pushing through. You are the government

No one cares get over it. It happens. Go find another job.

whoever was laid off, men or women, should have been doing a better job. Any business owner knows keeping the best, if its man or woman, is the best way to run a company. Not pandering to 1 group or the other. Get over your woke thinking.

Lol what a joke, good riddance

Of course CNN pushes this frivolous crap. Twitter needs a massive turn around. Ask Jack.

Don't use the law against something you were doing wrong broke every law in our country sitting behind a computer

Well, on the flip side, they now have more parental time. They could have parental time but they shouldn't be paid for not working. Having a child is a choice. It's not the Employers job to pay someone to have a child and not work. No work, no pay.

CNN.. Fraudsters

So what? That’s what liberals do. And what liberal bias reports

Welcome to the real workplace Twinkies.

The old Twitter employees were expendable. Not even assets.

Those liberals. They want the world to favor women bc they're sexists. Musk's layoffs favor women and they're still mad. Can't win with these people.

Woke

A bunch of butt hurt criminals are upset 🤡

🤣🤣 I was waiting for that 🤣🤣👍

Too bad people, all you twitter nerd’s sitting at home on your ass! doing nothing!! Stop crying and get a real job, everyone thinks they deserve to work from home, most people don’t do jack! There out shopping congesting the roadways driving to get their 3rd Starbucks of the day.

All BS

Yea, laid off more 'women'

Cause the men aren't woke and can do the hard work

Apparently if I buy a company, I need to work with all people loyal to the previous employer. You people are just a joke. I would have fired more people. Musk is too nice

LoL...nobody takes this seriously 😂 Will be a big-ass dud in labor court. d0y

Sue the first owners for selling. They made A LOT of money.

Fake neeews

Yep economy is really run good. But Joe always adds we still have a lot of work to do as a cya

Wait, what is a woman? Or were they dudes pretending to be chicks?

A company has the right to fire you for any reason, contrary to woke idiotology ! When the product they sell changes because of new owners and your unable to make the new product, it's not the companies fault. BYE !

more women than men were in the workforce hahahahahaha

And still not one word about the FBI working for Twitter

At this point there is no media just Givernment media

You're desperate. And irrelevant. Cope

Is that you, Sour Lemon?

It's entirely his company, he can do what he wants. Wasn't that the argument a couple months ago when Twitter was a public company?

It was a 'woke' company. I would hazard they hired more women than men.

And?

Wow race and sexual things are the only way to call people out now huh

They can pool their woke tears and cry a river

Cry more

They were fools to think they were only taking on the American ICT industry. They were essentially taking on the entire left(progressive) side of the world. Yeah, good luck to that. Just think about that statement for 2secs. How many network engineers and programmers is that? LOL

Oh cry me river. Apparently they're having a hard time finding another job that pays 250k to sit home and do nothing.

Is Cali an 'at will' state?

Ridiculous. Woman are being sexually abused. Men are predators out to make women miserable. Woman are busy making accusations, they have no time to just do their job. They have been paid many millions in the past. Tired of the complains and the many family lives they ruin.

Democrats sense of Entitlement compares to no other form of Life on Earth. 😛😂 ThursdayThoughts

It's manipulative and dishonest to have a story like this without mentioning that Twitter's policy of hiring more female employees, so any mass layoff would inevitably result in more females being laid off, not because of 'discrimination' but because they didn't actually work.

Oh please.. those people were most likely useless. God, cnn is filled with useless people as well.

CNN= 💩

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Oh good, another round of humans to manage. Can't wait to see what this new batch adds to the Smurfville experience! drunkensmurf

That's stupid. He probably fired more people in areas where their is less people required, and kept for instance more engineers which are more commonly men. You don't build a tech company with a gender study's degree. If it was a hospital there would be more woman doctors.

Laid off more women then men...it 's the main reason I guess lol Do you hear yourself? Victims of woke shit...

Was this personal? It seems at bit biased. It appears that way. Hopefully it was just cuts.

Poor little snowflakes.

Murica, land of all possibilities

Why don’t they just go away. They were part of the worst, corrupt social media site in the world. They deserved everything they got. Just pretend you were part of cancel culture for the crimes of trying to destroy our country and control our freedoms and lives.

This is news! Twitter files? Zero.

OMG, here we go!

44 billion for a corrupt business, has been corrected

They have nothing. He fired everyone legally.

Elon Musk as Twitter's new owner can layoff or fire anyone he wants. One of the perks of being the boss. Nothing wrong with it. It's just the facts, how things work out sometimes. He was getting rid of people because they were useless to him, not because of their sex.

Please continue flushing the toilet at Twitter. A job well Elon.

In other news, laying off more men than women is totally fine.

Oh i believe the democrat leaders put it like this, 'just go get a job.' Welcome to reality.

Why is every other CNN tweet a tweet complaining about Twitter…

Lololol i wonder how many of the 'women' were born men? Also its hilarious that their censorship isnt continuing but when the opposite side of their beliefs cant soeak freely its hate speech. May you all rot in hell

only 100? twitter obviously did something right when they kicked that massive dead weight to the curb.

Oh please.

Call the WHAMBULANCE! CNN Sucks...

Cnn hating Elon’s twitter for exposing FBI, DNC and Big Tech collusion

No surprise. Ambulance chasing lawyers like Gloria Allred's equally reprehensible daughter Lisa Bloom were offering their services practically before all the tweeps Musk fired had made it out of the building.

I'm sure they didn't give a shit when millions worldwide lost their jobs for refusing to be experimented on, actually, they censored those people at every turn and censored people sounding the alarm of the toxic jabs

Too bad. Why blame Elon

😁 LoL 😂 This is how CNN continues to lose relevance

Quick cnn pretend your not pushing an agenda.... because you certainly didn't care about the workers during the rail worker negotiations you sided with management because you were backing Biden so.... still fake news BS

So we're back to assuming gender again.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Maybe they should have worked instead of wasting money. Twitter is running just fine without them so what were they actually doing? Now they are screwing up orders at McDonald's, or crying in their little safe spaces.

No one cares. Maybe they shouldve been better enployees. Welcome to capitalism......next

CNN playing the gender card,pathetic. Lol

I'd get rid of the positive discrimination hires first too

Get over it … new management getting rid of old corrupt employees 👋🏽👋🏽

What would CNN employees do when the network close shop?

Perhaps pre-Musk Twitter unfairly hired more women than men...

Or maybe they were unvaccinated,

Here we go.

Yaawwn.

The same could be said about CNN!

Oh, are unqualified people mad they lost their job? Are most of them women who were just hired for being women at an overly woke company? You don't say? Good luck with that!

Employers can fire anyone.

But what is a woman ?

CNN does very little reporting on Jeff Zucker, President of CNN being fired for his bold face lies about Trump on air ?

WOW CARES GOOD RIDENS TO THE USLESS EMPLOYEES!!!!

What a joke.

Wahwah wah!

Lol

Collateral damage in restoring free speech.

You guys are doing fabulous free marketing for Twitter, your rival. Good Lord, why?

Sounds to me Musk must be doing it right for them to be upset. Get rid of the malcontents.

So what?

Disinformation

Hahahahaha. Whine whine whine whine.

CNN lol 😂🤦‍♂️

Get over it

Too bad They can poke at FB also. Tuff...

So it wouldn’t be unfair if more men were laid off rather than women? What jokers. 🤡🤡🤡

I will to hear from elonmusk

CNN can't be trusted

Fire them all

still waiting to twitter to go down. after all these mass layoffs...

The CNN meltdown continues.

He gave them option to sign new contracts and to come back to work. If you sidnt your job was gone. I would bet tgat would effect more woman home with kids. However if you look at group photos more woman then men worked there. So you'd expect more woman to be fired.

Happens where there was more woman then men hired

Learn to coal

Employment at Will must have a different meaning in CA. In Ohio, you're just cut and have to deal with it. Huh.🤷‍♀️

Twitter cleaned house & leftists bitch. Meanwhile the border….

Bwahahahaha cnn you are ridiculous

Wait? Layoffs effect people?! That’s why you guys are CNN.

Oh boo hoo. You got fired from a job where you didn’t really work. Deal with it.

It’s called poor producing employees are let go. Women may have been less productive

Biased news as usual!

But nothing about Twitter files!

😆 🤣 it's a private company. Remember.

😂😂😂

'CNN upset at large decline of child porn on twitter' - Former CEO Twits from prison

Poor little snowflakes. Maybe the Criminal News network should hire them.

Boo hoo, give ‘em scraps and send them to the unemployment line where their worthless liberal ass’ always end up anyway……

wahhh 😭 wahhh 😭 wahhh 😭

Here comes the best thing Democrats do, play the victim card.

🤡s

I’m going to go out on a limb and say they kept the majority of software engineers and let go almost all of the HR/Marketing types. Engineers skew towards men and HR/Marketing to women. There’s your grievance.

U can lay off anyone with company restructuring but ok.

Oh no! Are you saying 'therealworld' applies to techcompanies too!

100? Not 100 100 out of what25000?

Please report on real news. We all see through your propaganda.

Elon will liquify after her exposes all. He's a smart dude!

Aw,poor lil snowflakes.

If you don't like twitter, get off the platform, learn to code and build your own social media.

What a bunch of crock. Plain BS reporting.

Unfairly?

Boohoo, cry cry.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Oh give it a break. Lol. Those people don’t know what work is and neither does anyone at cnn failed network!

Boo fucccin hooo .

There were similar allegations against CNN. Any large company that lays people off is going to get sued.

Worlds smallest violin

Why am I not surprised. If I were then, I'd be keeping a low profile because I'm pretty sure many of them would've done some stuff that might be criminal.

🍿 😂

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

the law says 2 months of pay, he paid them3 months so all of this is total and complete BS on your part.

Fake news

Joke

I think we can all agree that is everyone’s choice for news and the facts, all without bias! Said absolutely no one….ever - well at least for the last 20 years or so. What’s Jeffrey Toobin doing these days? And Chris Cuomo? So well respected.

Cry about it sluts!

Yawn.

Don't care. They deserved to be fired. End of story

Hell if I was the CEO I would have fired everyone and closed the socialist democrat mouth piece

Hahaha sore losers

Life’s tough.

I’m sure CNN is as sure about this as they were with the fake Russian dossier, and 1 million other fake stories that CNN gets wrong. This is them doing what they do casting aspersions and fake news.

Lol

I think not doing your job and what little work you do is worthless then you’re not laid off you’re FIRED !!! Nobody gets notice when getting FIRED !

Meanwhile, in real news, the USA is under invasion at the southern border, and is in a recession.

No one believes you just stop

CNN is next

Why dont you report on Hunters laptop and the Epstien client list?

Hope those were liberal white women. 😎👍

🤣🤣🤣 Think of all the employees that lost their jobs during the plandemic.

So nothing about the TwitterFiles ?

I hope they don't start crying...

Learn to code

The Truth Will Come Out In The Long Run

Anyone who gives any friction to the mass-media promoted latest-thing narrative (exactly who is pushing it we don't know, just that it's consistent & unmissable) ends up in a quagmire of legal harassment and the like. They're doing it to Elon, they want all resistance eliminated.

Perhaps more women than men were doing sketchy shit. If you were doing sketchy shit before you went on leave, then you get fired.

Didn’t CNN and the Washington post lay off a bunch here lately?

CNNs rating continue to plummet -

LOSERS! Really ridiculous whiners. Should have seen it coming. 'Unfairly.' That's rich. From CNN, of course. 🙄

literally no one believes you.

Maybe that tells you something about the quality of female workers at twitter. That’s what happens when you follow the joe biden example of hiring based on gender and/or race and/or sexual disorientation rather than capability. Liberal company - liberal hiring practices

State run media at it again. Anything else you can report on that will attack and divide?

Fake news never sleeps but those who believe it are dreaming.

They were losing $4 million a day. They were fired for being incompetent.

I thought there wasn’t a difference between a man and a women anymore🤣

What a bunch of snowflake wusses. Welcome to the real world where people get laid off.

It could equally be said that it happens to be the case that women by enlarge, underperform in comparison to the men. You have to be truly 🧠 💀 to think someone says “ok give me all the names of women who work here, they need firing”. But you know that don’t you CNN

Hey … send this thing over to Ukraine for 300 days … could possibly turn it into a real man

It hired more women than men so it makes sense.

Awwww, poor little censoring libs

Twitter drops files and CNN drops this? NO ONE CARES. They got fired.

What about the Twitter Files? The more you don't cover it, the more it looks like you were involved in the same activities.

Contribution is key. If you don't contribute, you don't worth company's money.

Cry more

have a hard time believing this coming from cnn. place where fairy tales are made.

What’s their point….

If they fired 49% men and 51% women, they'd still complain. Not really encouraging people to employ women, is it?

cnn seems to be purging unnecessary staff as well. The economy is going south so it’s the beginning of layoffs. Get used to it

Wonder how many belong in jail?

Layoffs are never fair . That’s the way it goes. Find another job. Like the Keystone pipeline workers were told .

Why won't you report on the Twitter files?

I think it's a mistake bringing gender into it. It makes it seem like the complaint is based on ideology rather than more provable offenses. You can't prove the firings had a sexist agenda just because it was more women than men.

Next…

Woman born with a uterus ?

Of course … don’t forget the R word must be

Know hard to find another cushy job censoring & illegal surveillance of people. Nothing unfair about it,3mo package gave time to find new job. Jobs keep people based on productivity be it man,woman or other. New owner has right to make necessary changes. Welcome to the real world

Disgruntled lazy Libs gonna disgruntled lazy lib

What if Twitter makes a balance lay off of men with excellent abilities i.o.t. satisfying your wishes 🤔

This story is complete bullshit..

Man dressed as women or vice versa. What’s a woman? Do you mean birthing persons? Be clear please sir, Mam, pronoun, Martian, etc etc..

In other words just lazy people.

oldguycrusty No surprise.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I guess your efforts are working

Is this a new law? Are employers required to hire or to keep employees that are NOT necessary to make your company function…

CNN the cesspool - what a joke post

CNN is full of Homos and Pedophiles

Musk is a fascist

This just tells me that there are more women then men working at twitter

😱 unbelievable

Employee handbooks that employees sign when hired will make this crap disappear real quick. Most people don't read them through. They basically put so many reasons to be able to fire someone, that they just have to pick one. In other words, you signed it so 👋

Psalm 22 An amazingly accurate prophecy

No stories about laid off Amazon and Facebook employees?

Call the wahmbulance

Fake fake news media again?

Hey CNN why aren't you reporting on the fbi files Elon released? Oh that's right you are part of the commie party.

🤣🤣good luck

Have a look at the 10 'Iran trans woman' posts below and then tell me the deep state is not on twitter.

LoL, victims… all of them lol

CNN is next,should we make sure when CNN goes down it's equal in terminations, hahahaha no way get rid of everyone you guys are waste

How’s that ‘Twitter Files’ article coming along?

Cute now do real stories like twitterfiles

Look, it’s natural for everyone to want to stay in the land of OZ where work was optional and the wine bar and beer garden served during working hours of noon till two. But, the party had to end—since it was costing $5 billion a year.

Really, this is your Twitter story? Not that the federal government paid Twitter $3.4 million to censor Americans? FirstAmendment.

Oh boy here comes CNN Fake news run by the govermenot to push misinformation

Y’all won’t be happy until the last 5 companies left in the country are ran from the pentagon

They are going to wait 2 months after it happened before anything is said?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There is no law that say's you can't lay people off. Lots of people gets laidoff once a company changes hands. He's paying 3 months severance under the warn act. What more do they want.
