I don't think it is forbidden to fire pregnant women, even in countries where it is strictly regulated. However, it is usually forbidden to fire women because they are pregnant. Here Twitter laid off half of their staff, and if they can show that they were "fair" (for example by firing only half of the pregnant women) they may get a pass.
But anyways, in countries where pregnant women are well protected, employees in general are also well protected and Musk wouldn't be able to do what he does now.
- snapplebobapple 4y agoThere is a really fine line between well protected and economy damaging. When you look at twitters structure this was a long time coming and really needed to happen to turn twitter into a competitive company. It would be a shame if this could not be done because it would leave Twitter being an utter dog on the way to eventually failing and would tie up many thousands of talented people doing useless, wasteful stuff. It will be oainful but atleast now twitter has a chanve to grow ibto somethibg better and thousands of people will be freed up fir far more productive tasks, including pursuing their own great ideas via a startup.
