Musk's Ex-Twitter Workers Win Severance

Musk's Ex-Twitter Workers Win Severance Over 'Fork in the Road' Email
...
...
Four ex-Twitter workers have prevailed in a recent series of
closed-door arbitration proceedings over claims they were illegally
denied severance, according to a memo seen by Bloomberg News.

After Musk bought the social media company for $44 billion and
promptly dismissed more than half the staff, former employees
responded by filing complaints. The early losses for Musk in
arbitration could build pressure for a settlement of similar
allegations by individual workers who claim they're owed anywhere from
nearly $100,000 to more than $1 million.

Shannon Liss-Riordan, a lawyer representing former employees in
arbitrations, wrote in the memo that the 20 cases she's won so far
have cost the company at least twice the amount of contested severance
pay because the awards have also included interest, arbitration
expenses and legal fees.
