He'll have to move it out of the country to avoid the federal laws.

Theyre getting paid through some of January, thats pretty nice.

I never knew you had to give people a certain amount of notice before laying them off, thats wild to me.

Rich guy bullshit. He's never not had enough money to get away with whatever he wanted. But he's also never fucked with a platform that has as many users as twitter does.

He 100% knew and is doing it so he can rile people up against the "woke lib losers of California", and then carry on doing it anyway because he's rich.

I'm pretty sure he was aware of this and this suit is most likely just for show.

I mean, this is a high profile buyout right, so anything that goes on will be newsworthy and clickbaity.

Oh wait, I forgot.....Fuck Musk, that motherfucker! Anything he does is bad because I hate his ass regardless! Aaargh!!!

Except when you get laid off there's usually far more compensation as opposed to simply getting fired.

Its been known even before he bought it that there was going to be a bunch of layoffs. I for one would have tried to save money and start looking for a new job in case I was one getting laid off.

Looks like theyre supposed to get 60 days notice, and the penalty is paying the employees for those days, so Im wondering if thats why theyre all getting paid through some of January.

A simple yah youre right or even just ignoring the post would have been a lot better. Doesnt make you sound as tough as you think it does.

I take it your last line is sarcastic, so are you saying we should all ignore something that is negatively affecting a lot of people?

How is this negatively affecting a lot of people?

The people laid off will no doubt get severance, and the laid off CEOs got millions.

Who is this negatively affecting other than the people who have nothing to do with Twitter employment and just wanna bitch about Elon Musk.

So being laid off and getting severance.. has no negative effects for a person? Not a single one you can think of?

A lot of people probably figured they probably had steady, life long careers. A lot of those people probably spent years and years climbing the ranks and now have to basically restructure their entire lives.

Having said that, Musk is doing what everyone knew Musk was gonna do. Everyone was laughing when he was forced to buy Twitter when he tried to pull out. Nobody is laughing now.

Musk should have stopped when his image was "the cool nerd who's going to invent a bunch of cool shit!"

I mean, it was always a lie. He's just an investor who relies on the hard work of some ridiculously talented people, but he had that strong image going for him for a good while.

But he got too greedy and wanted more social and political influence. Now he's losing tons of money and his public image is just "the clown."

You're talking to someone who's "career" is shitposting on Gamefaqs. Of course he doesn't understand why suddenly being unemployed without warning is a bad thing.

Again, they get severance, stock options, and will be well taken care of for quite awhile.
