|July 20, 2023
The second complaint this month asserting that Twitter Inc. owes at least $500 million in severance pay to former employees was filed against the social media company on Tuesday.
-
This is just the most recent in a slew of lawsuits following Elon Musk's takeover of the business.Chris Woodfield, a former senior engineer at Twitter, filed a proposed class action lawsuit in federal court in Delaware with the additional claim not stated in the other ongoing lawsuits-that the business intentionally targeted older employees for layoffs.
Woodfield, who worked for Twitter out of Seattle, says the company repeatedly told employees that they would receive two months' salary and other payouts if they were laid off, but that he and other workers have not received the money.
