Scott Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The number of sacked Twitter staff launching legal action against the company "goes up daily", according to a lawyer representing some of them. Lisa Bloom has told the BBC she has already taken on the cases of about 100 former employees but the number is rising. One of her clients, Amir Shevat, told the BBC that Twitter boss Elon Musk had "failed" in his leadership of the firm. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64512053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggles45 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) 'jumping on the bandwagon' springs to mind. I presume the lawyers are not acting for free and taking a big slice of any cash awarded. If it costs nothing to sue, might as well get onboard Edited February 4, 2023 by biggles45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fired employees can "jump on the bandwagon". It couldn't happen to a nicer billionaire. He can afford it, they make money by ripping off the little people. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems fraud is fine as long as its for right wing causes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they all get counter sued and made homeless I remember as a kid one of my first jobs , that I got fired from. I was so upset that the employer wouldn’t tell me the reason, so I filed a complaint at the local labor department . The CS rep at the department told me by law they didn’t have to tell me! So off I went , butt hurt and all, only to continue through life and use that experience as a life lesson . Musk creates jobs for thousands of people and he is a inspiration to many. What Musk did to the left’s club house was extremely satisfying imop but If he promised in writing 4 months severance and only gave 1 then he should be held to it ! Most of these former employees are butt hurt that they were fired! Every day people working there expose the hypocrisy created by past Twitter employees who cooperated with Government agencies visa versa Stay tuned more to come Richard ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your argument is that unfair dismissal laws and employment contracts shouldn't exist because these kind people have seen fit to give people jobs? No such thing as exploitative employers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JonnyF Posted February 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2023 It will go nowhere. Again. Same as this case. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64520157 Lefties getting more and more desperate to stifle freedom of speech. From freedom loving hippies to misogynistic authoritarians in 50 years. Quite the journey. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is about possible legal consequences for Twitter not adhering to employment laws or employment agreements. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
