1,986 former Twitter employees have filed arbitration claims.
And Twitter’s lawyers at the big law firm of Morgan Lewis are flipping out about it.
sounds exactly like the sort of upper management Spez should be idolising
Amusingly, over the last few years, the same folks who spent decades twisting the arbitration system to their own advantage have been flipping out, now that arbitration claims have become a form of distributed denial of service attack in protest to the company’s bad behavior.
Lol, plaintiffs’ law firm knows exactly what they’re doing.
This is not a win for Twitter ex-employees.
An employment contract isn’t worth anything if you can’t sue the employer other than in a kangaroo court where you lose no matter what.
Twitter’s lawyers may complain, but the ex-employees still aren’t going to get paid, so Twitter still wins.
Nah the courts can void an arbitration clause and group the claims into a class action lawsuit when such ““exraordianry”” circumstances arise that make it impossible to settle claims through arbitration.
Folks, this is what Spez idolised and aims to emulate 🤣
Totally a shining example of social media corporate management…
I really hope a larger court implements a certain (very soon) date that these must be settled by, or by default twitter loses. It’s not fair for them just to throw their arms up and say “we’re too busy” and do nothing.
My friend is one of those ex-employees and they owe him a lot of money.
Really? Did they just not pay the severance or did the employees not agree with the offers? Out of the loop.
They didn’t pay the severance. They owe my friend several hundred thousand dollars.
Why? With at-will employment you can leave or get fired at any point in time.
He was a pretty high-level employee and had a contract.
