    Soon after firing 50% of Twitter’s workforce, there has been a mass outrage from ex-Twitter employees(Tweeps) and other celebrities on Twitter.

    Many prominent figures have expressed their anger by tweeting on the public platform.

    If you’re a Twitter (or any) employee subject to mass layoffs, New York has a WARNS law too.

    NY WARNS requires 90 days notice for mass layoffs from large employers.

    Employers who violate may be required to back pay your wages and benefits: https://t.co/B59Smc2ybA https://t.co/Qtxpr8974R

    US Representative Alexandria Cortez tells ex-Twitter employees can actually sue Elon Musk since NY has a WARNS law which requires 90 days notice for mass layoffs.

    There were many Tweeps who were really heart-broken after getting let go.

    I told my little son Horntence that daddy might not have a job tomorrow. He said “Daddy, why don’t the one percent understand that their actions have consequences that ripple out or don’t they care.”

    Elon Musk Justifies Twitter’s Mass Layoff

    Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day.

    Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.

    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 4, 2022

    Elon Musk justifies cutting down Twitter’s workforce by half because Twitter is in debt and losing $4M every day. Also, those who were laid off were given 3 months’ severance.

    Elon Musk plans to charge Twitter users an $8 monthly fee in order to have blue tick verification. It’s one of the steps taken to make Twitter profitable.

    Many big brands have announced to pause their advertising spend amidst this fiasco.

    Only time will tell in which direction Elon Musk leads Twitter in to or does he just become a billionaire bully?
