thewayneThe Muskbro bought the company in October 2022. Many Twitter employees stayed on for the expected and promised annual bonus that was normally paid out in the first quarter of the year, bypassing job offers for new and better positions.
Care to guess whether or not the bonus was paid?
A class action lawsuit has been filed for non-payment, saying over $5,000,000 is owed to current and former employees.
In other news of the Twitterverse, employees of a Denver-area office building - I think I drove past it once or twice - were EVICTED for rent non-payment. The landlord had access to a slush fund and when rent wasn't paid they accessed it, which activated a legal requirement that Twitter replenish the slush fund. They did not, and the landlord began eviction proceedings, which culminated in the building being vacated earlier this month.
According to the Ars article linked below, there are TWENTY lawsuits against the Mustbrat for nonpayment of various services, including the lease on the HQ in San Fran.

Wonder how big of a tax write off he will get when he kills off Twitter?
