#162The amount of commenters here claiming putting people on gardening leave being illegal is absolutely astonishing.

If that's the case, I bet the Twitter employees who still have a job, wish they got laid off. 60 days of pay is better than just resigning, which is what I'm sure I would do.
Whats stopping you from resigning right now?
I said I probably would, which is why I would've rather been laid off. I don't work at Twitter though, so I'm not going to resign my current job because of Twitter though.

I would imagine needing the paycheck. Those who were put on garden leave have 3 months of pay to lean on while they search. Those who were not, if they quit, their pay ends that day. They'd have whatever savings they have.
You both seem to assume everyone wants to leave. Which is probably not the case.

It's almost as if Elon is being sued to ensure that he follows through with his obligations, since he's so consistently doesn't. Strange. It's like there is a purpose to the lawsuit.
You can’t sue someone in advance of wrongdoing
So you're saying that a law firm has decided to risk it by filing this lawsuit on behalf of a few no-name Twitter employees?
You can't ascribe 5-d chess skills to Musk on this one, he's lost the benefit of the doubt.

#166Everyone is employed until February 2nd. They receive full pay + benefits but don’t have to work. This was in the termination email that fired employees received.

> "Musk has a history of not complying with legal obligations unless forced to..." In that case, Musk sounds very much like every government, business, politician, friend, family member and neighbor I've ever known. In other words, that's how the world generally works.
Musk was openly antagonistic to an agreement he signed that waved all due diligence. In my business experience, most entities that sign a contract try to honor that contract. Musk does not. He tries to use his money and power to find every loophole in every business deal. It's shady, it's deceptive, and it's not conducive to long-term success.
remember how he defrauded the US government to get subsidies for Tesla? i don't even understand after finding this out how he does not get in trouble?

#168Can we please fix the title? Not only is it incomplete and makes no sense, it also got butchered such that it is now wrong. Original: "Twitter faces a class action lawsuit over mass employee layoffs without proper legal notice" At least replace the "with" with "without".
The original title is 11 characters too long for submission.
"Twitter faces a̶ class action lawsuit over mass e̶m̶p̶l̶o̶y̶e̶e̶ layoffs without proper legal notice"
Shaved off exactly 11 characters (including spaces).

> you don't get to that level of businessmen without making all the right decisions C'mon; he literally just tried desperately to get out of the Twitter deal that's the direct cause of these layoffs. Jeff Bezos's decisions about where to stick his weiner cost him tens of billions of dollars. No one makes "all the right decisions".
People try and get out of deals all the time. It's a normal part of business. Edit: I take it many of you haven't been a part of a company that gets an offer that falls apart later, tried to buy/sell property, etc etc. Deals fall apart constantly , trying to get out of a deal isn't indicative of anything meaningful in and of itself. The only really unusual thing that happened in the Twitter deal was Twitter forcing t…

#170Musk is openly antagonistic to any kind of regulation and regulatory bodies. This is all a game to him. Any fines he faces are the price of having fun, to him. It's why whether Twitter succeeds or fails is a moot point. He doesn't actually care about Twitter. It's a toy. It's an RC plane he's flying around, right now, and it's just a matter of time before he intentionally aims it into the ground to see how big of an…
I considered this purchase a miscalculation on his part. After he bought 9% of twitter, he wanted to do some market manipulation like with Tesla. Only he got burned last time, so he attempted to do it legit with his "offer". He never expected them to actually accept. And why he tried so hard to back out.
However, now that it's done, I don't doubt his earnest or abilities to drive twitter forward. In any case it will be very interesting to watch.
