Thread regarding Twitter layoffs

layoff letter, no WARN required

Hello,

As shared earlier today, Twitter is conducting a workforce reduction to help improve the health of the company. These decisions are never easy and it is with regret that we write to inform you that your role at Twitter has been impacted.

Today is your last working day at the company, however, you will remain employed by Twitter and will receive compensation and benefits through your separation date of February 2, 2023.

During this time, you will be on a Non-Working Notice period and your access to Twitter systems will be deactivated. While you are not expected to work during the None-Working Notice period, you are still required to comply with all company policies, including the Employee Playbook and Code of Conduct.

Within a week, you will receive details of your severance offer, financial resources extending beyond your Non-Working Notice period. At that time you will also receive a Separation Agreement and Release of Claims and other offboarding...

Twitter cut more than 950 California employees after Elon Musk took over, WARN notice shows

——
This kind of arrangement may serve as "payment in lieu of notice," in California depending on specific terms of employment. Permanent terminations are expected to begin Jan. 2023, according to the WARN notices.

In three different California WARN notice letters, signed by the Twitter Human Resources Department but no individual executives, the company wrote: "Affected employees will be paid all wages and other benefits to which they are entitled through their date of termination."

Deduct the legal fees for this ridiculous lawsuit from their 2 months payment to sit around and do nothing.

That was your 2 months notice! Only you were not even asked to work for this money.

Yeah, the lawsuit is a scummy lawyer move to try to insert themselves into, and extract money from both the company and employees. It will be dismissed.

There are a lot of class action law firms that are basically vultures when it comes to shareholder lawsuits or WARN action lawsuits. Whenever you read about them you should really take them with a huge grain of salt. IAL at a large Silicon Valley tech company and I can tell you that whenever there were layoffs, every angle was scrutinized to by the in-house attorneys to reduce legal liability.

In other news, this basically means that Twitter did not violate the warn act and that subsequent lawsuits arent going to go anywhere.
