Twitter sued for disproportionately targeting women and staff on family leave during mass layoff

Firstpost  

Twitter and Elon Musk have been accused of targeting women and other employees on paternity leaves and maternity leaves. A class-action lawsuit has now been filed by a number of women who were laid off by Twitter, which alleges that Elon Musk and his team of Tesla & SpaceX engineers brought to manage Twitter, disproportionately targeted women and other staff who were on maternity or paternity leaves. Just leaving Twitter HQ code review pic.twitter.com/pYcXRTJm14 — Elon Musk November 19, 2022 “Women at Twitter never had a decent shot at being treated fairly once Elon Musk decided to buy the company,” the attorney representing women suing, Shannon Liss-Riordan, said in a press statement. The complaint cites calculations provided by Mark Killingsworth, an economics professor at Rutgers University, who said that overall, “57 per cent of female employees were laid off on November 4, 2022, while 47 per cent of male employees were laid off.” Musk’s own tweets have been cited in the complaint as evidence of alleged sexism at Twitter and other companies that Musk owns and manages. The complaint points to one tweet Musk deleted, naming a school using the acronym “TITS,” as well as a more recent tweet, where the billionaire said, “Testosterone rocks ngl.” The complaint also links to media reports from PC Mag and Futurism discussing the impact of Musk’s alleged misogyny on women who work for him.
