What i read on the layoffs previously, is he gave the smallest amount of severance applicable by law.
Also, one of my friends at Twitter says he would send random emails asking everyone to do something. Send code snippets, give ideas towards a certain topic, generally giving assignments to the whole company.
Some people would laugh at the tasks... "HAHA, did you see Elons message about who's a real coder here? He said to send 5 screenshots of code 'you are most proud of', how ridiculous!'
"Well, did you do it?"
"No! like i said, it's ridiculous. i'm not doing that!"
If in these pile of tasks that he sent out, you never did them and he laid you off, can that be used in discovery/arbitration to show that laying you off with severence was better than firing you for cause?
Elon does alot of dumb things, that have the potential to not be so dumb if analyzed at the level of the game he's playing. Obviously musk is an egotist, with little regard for others but you can't deny he's smart.
- guax 3y agoI would not be surprised if this would fly as US has terrible worker protection laws. In most of the world this would never work. It could also backfire for twitter if this caracterizes them hunting for reasons to fire for cause to save money. There is a strong difference in individually firing someone for performance or systematically creating conditions to bypass mass layoff laws (which might not be hard to prove in twitters case)
- TrapLord_Rhodo 3y agoAgain, due to the arbitration here, and not being a class action lawsuit the 'Courts' don't decide anything They 'Settle'. I can use any number of tactics, tricks and manipulation to get you to settle for some number lower than your original offer.
