Maybe Musk realized that they might have broken UK criminal law [1] and is backtracking now?
[1] in the UK if you lay of more than 20 or 100 people at one time you need to notify the business secretary 30 or 45 days in advance https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/05/elon-musk-defends-twitter-layoffs-saying-staff-given-three-months-pay https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/05/elon-musk...

- cycomanic 4y agoI don't know UK employment law, but I would be very surprised if the time of being layed off is not when you're told that you have been fired, but somehow the time when your backpay/severance pay ends.
