Twitter was sued by former employees who say they were not given enough notice under federal and California law that they had lost their jobs amid ongoing mass layoffs.

The class-action lawsuit was filed in San Francisco federal court Thursday by five current or former Twitter employees, including Emmanuel Cornet, a software engineer known for his satirical cartoons critiquing Silicon Valley, who was fired Tuesday, according to the complaint.




Twitter informed employees Thursday evening, days after Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took control of the company, that it would begin laying off staff members, according to communications obtained by NBC News. In the email, Twitter said staffers will receive a notice about their employment in their work email if they still have a job, or their personal email accounts if their “employment is impacted.”

Twitter employees are expecting the company to cut 50% of its workforce, or roughly 3,700 employees.

The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires employers to provide advance notice, generally within 60 days, of mass layoffs or plant closings.

“Plaintiffs file this action seeking to ensure that Twitter comply with the law and provide the requisite notice or severance payment in connection with the anticipated layoffs,” the complaint states.

The lawsuit asks the court to issue an order requiring Twitter to obey the WARN Act. It also seeks to prevent Twitter from soliciting employees to sign documents that could give up their right to participate in litigation.




Representatives from Twitter didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

A spokesperson for California’s employment department said Twitter has not filed any WARN notices with the agency this year.

So Elons mad he can't shytpost in peace after:

Firing main members of the board and half the staff

Wanting to charge people $ for something that's free

Advertising is leaving the company


I'm fully convinced he's just a figurehead at TSLA, etc. No way a guy with his supposed expertise would destroy a company so quickly if he knew what to do.


I truly hope he goes broke from this disaster of an acquisition. If Twitter has to be the slaughtered lamb so be it.
