 Twitter sued over Elon Musk’s layoff plan as thousands of workers locked out of building, email

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Twitter over Elon Musk’s plan to sack thousands of staffers — as employees were abruptly locked out of their company Slack and email accounts, and barred from going into the office ahead of the mass layoffs Friday.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday in San Francisco federal court after the company notified employees it would eliminate some 3,700 jobs, half its workforce, Bloomberg News reported.

It alleges that employees weren’t given enough notice of the mass layoffs in violation of federal and California law.

It seeks an order requiring the social media platform to obey the WARN Act — the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, a federal law requiring companies with 100 or more workers to give 60 days’ notice of mass layoffs or other work disruptions.

The suit also wants the court to restrict Twitter from soliciting staffers to sign documents that could give up their right to take part in litigation, according to the news outlet.

But . . . but . . . but I thought Twitter was a private company that could do whatever it wants.

Apparently, the reason for the rush is that the board, in a desperate act of sabotage and vandalism, authorized the issuance of additional stock to all employees who were employees of Twitter on Nov. 5, and so Musk is attempting to vitiate that attack on his company by making sure that there are as few "employees" as possible on Nov. 5.

Zuckernerd is laying off over 10,000 at Facebook/Meta. Any problem with that?
