Since Elon Musk has taken over Twitter , there hasn’t been a single day when Twitter and Musk are not present in the news highlights. From the removal of Parag Agarwal as the CEO of Twitter , laying off of Twitter employees to the tweets of Elon Musk , everything has nowdays been the part of news.
When Musk took over Twitter after buying the company for $44 billion, after that roughly 3,700 employees were terminated without any prior notice as a cost-cutting measure, asked some essential employees to return , rolled back it’s expansive work-from-home policy and asked it’s workers to sign a pledge to remain extremely hardcore at Twitter or quit. After this hundreds of more employees subsequently resigned. Observing all this there was a common question all over the social media that if the situation remains like this ,” how will the Twitter survive.”
In December last year , Twitter was accused by former employees of various legal violations. Many employees who were laid off joined the lawsuit against the company claiming that they were terminated without a prior 60 or 90 days notice , the ex-employees also accused the company for targeting the women employees for lay-offs and is shortchanging the former employees on severance pay.
Twitter wanted that employees who accept a severance package that include a month of base pay to sign a waiver agreeing not to join lawsuits against the company. Related to this last year , Judge Donato ruled that , “ Before asking workers to sign severance agreements waiving their ability to sue the company , Twitter must give them ‘a succinct and plainly worded notice’ without missing any information.”
The company has secured a ruling that the laid-off workers should pursue their claims through personal arbitration rather than a class-action lawsuit. On Friday Donato granted Twitter’s reques,” to force the five ex-employees to pursue their claims individually , citing agreements they signed with the company.” This was considered as a win for Elon Musk by many on the social media
