Former employees have filed a lawsuit against Company X (formerly Twitter), claiming that they were treated unfairly after the company was acquired by Elon Musk.
The suit was one of several filed in the months following Musk’s $44 billion acquisition, which led to the layoffs of about 75% of the workforce.
The plaintiffs accuse X of violating labor laws by failing to provide adequate notice and severance packages.
“Other lawsuits accuse Twitter of failing to give employees and contractors advance notice of terminations, failing to pay billions of dollars in promised severance packages, and unfairly targeting women and older workers for cuts,” according to court documents.
Company X denies any wrongdoing, but the lawsuit highlights the challenges the company faces as it undergoes a major restructuring.
The dismissals have had a significant impact on former employees, many of whom are now seeking justice through the legal system.
The lawsuit aimed to hold Company X accountable for its actions and ensure that former employees received fair compensation and notice.
As the litigation progresses, it’s likely that we’ll get more insight into the inner workings of X and the decisions made by Musk and his team.
“We are committed to protecting the rights of our former employees and ensuring they receive the fair treatment they deserve,” a spokesman for the plaintiffs said.
Company X has not commented further on the lawsuit but has denied any wrongdoing, which means a lengthy and bitter legal battle is likely to follow.
