Does anyone really believe those Twitter workers will be receiving 3 months severance pay?

[BWdem4life]

I don't.

1. I heard the payroll department quit

I heard it on…um…Twitter.

2. Hahahahahaaa

No


But then they’ll sue and win even more …

8. They will have to get in line with other creditors in bankruptcy court.

3. They'll probably receive something, eventually.

I see a lot of legal wrangling ahead. Musk seems to be violating numerous labor laws.

4. They won't get severance pay because they RESIGNED!

They're not entitled to severance pay...

Now, if Elon had FIRED them, they would be entitled to WARN/severance pay as long as they were NOT fired in groups of 49 or fewer per pay period...

5. No.. HE gave them the option

of staying on or taking a severance package.

10. I bet that comes with a no talking

Pledge.

6. Maybe all his employees should give him the finger,

from all his businesses.

7. I thought the same thing

[Hekate]

9. No. Good luck to them all -- it's going to be a cheerless holiday season in their homes.

[Hortensis]

11. YES. He's done that before, and reportedly was going to

at Twitter early on -- until he was made to realize the volume of additional costs and other troubles that would bring on. These thousands of employees aren't too poor and disrupted to sue, AND federal and state regulators are already watching. Plus the international press and governments of other nations with even sterner views on these matters.

12. Cheaper than the labor law violations from the first layoffs

Given the size of Twitter, they had to give notice to lay people off. That either comes as a severance check or keeping them working...the first group laid off has already filed with NLRB and one news report said it cod be a couple of billion dollars in pay and fines.

Cheaper to pay the severance than the penalty and the severance when you lose with NLRB

13. Magic 8 ball says: outlook not so good.

Fuck Elon.
