π¦πΌ Twitter in Hot Water: Former and Current Peeps Claim Their Bonus Nest Eggs Went Missing π₯π°
TL;DR: It’s time for Twitter’s payday drama: a flock of present and past employees are legally chirping at Twitter, arguing that they’ve been short-changed out of ‘tens of millions’ in bonuses promised for 2022. The tweet-storm is just getting started. π©ββοΈπ₯
π΅οΈββοΈ Ever feel like something promised to you got lost in the post? Well, a number of Twitter employees, both past and present, say they’re in the same boat, only in this case, it’s a boatload of bonus cash that’s gone AWOL.
Mark Schobinger, a former bigwig at Twitter, kicked off a class-action lawsuit on behalf of himself and his fellow Tweeters. The lawsuit chirps that employees were denied a piece of their 2022 bonuses. ππΈ Now, how would you feel if your boss promised you a bonus, only for you to find a big fat zero in your paycheck?
Allegedly, some birdies up the Twitter exec tree, including ex-chief financial officer Ned Segal, had sworn up and down the bonus would be paid. And this wasn’t some post-it note promise, this guarantee was given before AND after Elon Musk, you know, the space car dude, bought the company in October. ππΌ
But, when the first quarter of 2023 arrived and the bonuses were supposed to flutter into their accounts, these Twitter employees claim they found their nests bare. Schobinger said he’d even turned down other job offers, like who does that unless they’re certain of a big payout, right?π€·ββοΈπΌ
Shannon Liss-Riordan, the employees’ legal eagle, has stated the missing bonus cash amounted to ‘tens of millions’. Now that’s a lot of birdseed! π¦ π°
It’s important to remember that these are allegations and Twitter has yet to chirp up in its defense.π¦π€ But if it’s true, itβs like a shocking plot twist from a thriller novel. Talk about ruffling some feathers! ππ²
As the story unfolds, it’s hard not to wonder: If these allegations are true, how did the powers that be at Twitter think they’d get away with it? π€π‘
The drama doesn’t end there, though! If the claims are legitimate, will this lead to a change in the corporate world’s attitude towards employee benefits? And if it does, could this be a turning point in how companies treat their employees? Will other corporations hear this chirping and rethink their policies?
Or will this be another one of those instances where the world gets a peep into the murkier aspects of the corporate world, gasps, and then forgets until the next scandal?ππ
What do you think? Is this a case of bonus promises gone wrong or just an epic misunderstanding? Could this legal battle bring about a revolutionary change, or will it be just another tweet in the storm? π€π
