Outgoing Twitter employees prepare for legal campaign against world’s richest man

LA Times  

In the wake of the ultimatum Elon Musk issued in mid-November to the remaining team at Twitter to commit to a “hardcore” culture or leave, several former employees are pursuing legal action against him. Business Elon Musk’s ultimatum leaves Twitter in chaos and employees in the dark Elon Musk offered employees a deal: Commit to a new “hardcore” Twitter or leave with three months’ severance. “Twitter employees like were told in writing by HR or legal that after the acquisition they would get the same severance benefits that Twitter employees got before the acquisition,” Bloom said. “Twitter will pay far more in attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs than it could possibly ‘save’ in severance due.” In outlining his legal case, Cohen cited the same contract terms Bloom is drawing on, stating that Musk is obligated to match the pre-acquisition severance packages, including employee bonuses and vested stocks. As waves of managers and employees either resigned or were fired for speaking out against Musk’s new regime, he issued an ultimatum : commit to a new, “hardcore” Twitter 2.0 at which employees were expected to work long hours, or leave with three months’ worth of severance.
