An Irish-based senior executive with Twitter has secured a temporary High Court injunction preventing the social networking giant from terminating her employment.
The order was secured by Sinéad McSweeney, who is Twitter’s Global Vice President for Public Policy.
She claims that by not responding to a generic and vague email sent to all Twitter employees by its owner, multibillionaire Elon Musk, earlier this month, she has been treated as if she is no longer employed by the company. […]
Mr. Musk, she claims, has since the takeover been running the company “in an unorthodox manner” and has been rehiring and firing “with no apparent logic” in a manner she claims is unlawful.
At the High Court this afternoon, Mr. Justice Brian O’Moore granted Ms. McSweeney an interim injunction preventing Twitter International Unlimited Company from terminating her contract of employment.
The injunction, which was granted on an ex-parte basis, also restrains Twitter from applying the terms of an email sent to her on 16 November last by Mr. Musk, to her contract or condition of employment.
She further secured an order restraining Twitter from communicating to any third party or publishing any information to convey that her employment with the company has been in any way altered since the 15 November last. …

she should have picked yes and given the ball back to Elon .. nicely. Its the adult thing that do.
Maybe she’s the quickest at submitting her TPS reports or she’s the only one who knows what pc load letter means. ;)
Elon to Sinead on Twitter...
“We’ve created a special position for you at Fort Wainwright Army Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. You will be ensuring ongoing military access to our Twitter network. We support the troops there, as we hope you do. Be there at 8:00 AM, Monday morning. Thank you for your service.”
And the Guinness is awesome there.
Case is without merit.
Must be an Irish court.

As an employee with an annual contract there are certain conditions that can’t be shredded over a “click here email”. For instance, her contract might have called for 12 month severance if cancelled without cause.
Whatever those terms in her contract they need to be addressed properly. And then she needs to leave if her presence is no longer desired.
I see what you did there! 😅😅😅
It's like the bollocks on Alexander Vindman, trying to tell the Chief Executive of the United States how to do Ukraine policy.
Musk bought the company. He could shut it down if he wanted to. Where is it that a judge can decide the owner of a company can’t fire an employee? I believe I would shut down the entire Irish Twitter office.
That attitude shows EXACTLY why she was FIRED…
Musk can run Twitter anyway he wants. That $44 Billlion he spent buys him a lot of power.
And what is a “Twitter's Global Vice President for Public Policy.” anyways?
Just go away already!
I remember when Irish were more solid
Not those IRA currs
One third of my stock per ancestry is Ulster Scots and Roman Irish then naturally Anglo Saxon and Scots with a dash of Huguenot French
Disappointed what happened to them in the homeland
Ulster (i.e. excluding counties Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal) was the last part of Ireland to have abortion forced on them; Westminster did it, denying the right of Stormont’s self-governance.
I identify more with the ulster Scot part of me but there is no denying I’m a Sullivan as in O’Sullivan descendent and through him Pocahontas though that is disputed
As it often is
My gggg grandpa of smith county Mississippi was the legendary Pappy Tom and grandpa to Wild Bill
They came from Louth county Ireland Beautiful place on the Irish Sea but came here hungry I’d wager

Unlike most people here I confess my ignorance what happened and for years I thought your nickname was some Gaelic name but I just discovered it’s tolkien speak
Color me black language educated
Very good nickname by the way
