Presumably there are some people on the IT infrastructure side who are still working.
Or have they got the whole thing so automated that Twitter can run without any human involvement.
I’m reading there will be lots of lawsuits by fired employees. Not sure how this is legal. Can those with contracts sue if the company is sold to someone else?
They never had human involvement... The old management had robots ordered from China, with “proper” programming
“I’m reading there will be lots of lawsuits by fired employees. Not sure how this is legal. Can those with contracts sue if the company is sold to someone else?”
As I understand it, the lawsuits are based on the notification time required for a layoff.
But I’ve been involved in layoffs (I did payroll so had to be involved) and don’t recall any lengthy notification process.
Though the laws may have been changed since.
If I had written it:
“Dear Leftist Scum”,
I hope you enjoyed your tenure as censors for the Commissar.
The revolution is over—and now you are out on the street where you belong.
I look forward to hearing less and less from you.

The employees impacted are being given two months notice, and two months pay, until Feb 7 2023. They will remain employed, they just won’t be allowed back onto the company property.
Looks like it completely undercuts the class action lawsuit alleging employees weren’t given the required notice of 60 days under Federal and State law.
I believe layoff laws vary depending on the state.
3 months pay off the clock, that’s a nice start. But I’m sure there’s still something wrong with it.
They have no legal standing. The official seperation date is Feb 2, 2023. That satisfies the WARN Act.
If former employees do try to sue, they will likely lose out of any seperation package. The lawyers and politicians won’t care. They will use this for self-promotion.
California is an “At-will” employment State. Very few, if any, would be on an employment contract. The only thing they need to worry about is the WARN Act...and giving more than two month’s severance covers that. Most employee lawsuits will go nowhere.
How can I get in on that?
“Looks like it completely undercuts the class action lawsuit alleging employees weren’t given the required notice of 60 days under Federal and State law.”
That’s right. Hadn’t thought of that. They’re not actually separated from the company yet.
3 months pay.
The purchase delay allowed Musk to get his ducks in a row and protect the company.
It can't handle a VPN, apparently.
Oh, well, Twitter does fine.
A lot of the class action noise is coming from Lisa Bloom, a notorious Los Angeles lawyer who is almost certainly just looking to get a quick payday. She has to know that Musk has competent counsel, and will comply with California’s “WARN” act, but will look to shake down the company for a settlement just to make her go away.
Totally unethical, and probably misguided. Musk might not be so willing to pay the Danegeld which might be presented as evidence of wrongdoing on his part.
Should be fun to watch Lisa’s humiliation unless this gets memory holed.
And Twitter is still up and running. How could that be with no one working? lol
I didn’t even know there was something called the WARN Act. Thanks.
Yup. THAT is the One World Government’s goal in the future. They want their 500 million on earth, with 485 to 490 million of those individual slaves to the government. The entire world will be automated. However, they do need working slaves to plant, cultivate, harvest, and send to the stores of the rich leaders of Gates and his horde of murdering thugs. They will sit around their pools in Aspin, the Alps, Hawaii, etc. and sip the best french wines grown by said slaves. Yup, they need total automation to run so they don’t have to work and sit around and breath their fresh, global saving air.
