Surprise, Space Karen, places other than the US have actual employee protection laws.
Yep, that wouldn’t fly in Canada either lol
but laws don’t apply to billionaires 😭 /s
Well it’s not like Musk was fined, the company has to pay.
Since he’s the sole owner it’s pretty much the same, it’s profits (hahahaha) that’s not going in his pockets.
I thought Sauia Arabia put up a shed load of cash as well ?
I’m always baffled how US slavers fall for that trap again and again.
The US doesn’t fall for anything; the pols are paid to not work for the people. It’s greed, not idiocy.
How is it not idiocy to get burned by european labour laws time and time again? Greed makes stupid.
Extremely hardcore.
Shame it wasn’t a class action suit. $600k is peanuts compared to $600k per violation.
my exact thoughts, every single employee who received this email should have sued his ass. You are only required to work as much as your contract details and this a clear instance of workplace bullying
Exactly this has to have happened several times where are all the others fired for this?
If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid. Or are getting somewhere else
Did you have 3 strokes while typing that comment?
I have heard that after 3 strokes you are out…
I sure am, that’s how I got the nickname, “The flash”
It’s very simple. If person fails to do their job you fire them. People supporting there must be a meaning behind
Just 2. I killed more brain cells not defending cops.
What.
If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid. Or are getting somewhere else
If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid.
I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.
Or are getting somewhere else
No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?
This employee in question was an executive
Yeah it’s worth noting that the employee in this case had the resources to fight. Hopefully other regular non-executive employees can use it as precedent for their own lawsuits.
Not sure how different it is in Ireland, but here in Australia you’d have spoken to the fair work ombudsman and they’d go and “fight” this for you.
Seeing as the article says “Ireland’s Workplace Relations Commission” handled this, kinda sounds like a similar situation rather than wealth having anything to do with it.
In America the various states have labor boards, but almost no one knows this and gets taken advantage of.
Last thing an employer wants is a call from the labor board. They default to the employee is always right, burden in on the employer to prove otherwise.
Ah so an X-ecutive?
An ex-X-ecutive now.
Ex X executive is fun to say out loud.
XXX-kyootive
Otherwise he would have gotten 1 figure less, and then we would never have heard about him.
Of course. Not like they’d order the same for the custodian or whatever. But because they are of high status they get protected.
I just noticed that I like posts with “X ordered to do…” sooo much better than posts with “Elon says…”
I prefer the latter, because it’s so much easier to filter out posts about Elon than it is to filter out posts about X (without creating a ton of false positives).
There should be a rule all posts about twitter must have “(elon musk sucks)” in the title 😆
exactly this. i have a filter on certain keywords. his name is in there but there’s nothing I can do to avoid posts about the platform.
it’s super irritating.
Honestly, between these obsession posts and all the other non-tech news that gets posted here, I just unsubscribed this morning. The signal to noise ratio in this community is just not worth it to me.
Elon had a cunning plan
Plan? Sure. Cunning? Eh…
Does your filter recognize whitespace? Including a space before and/or after X should catch the posts about the platform while not filtering out posts that just have an X inside a word somewhere. X isn’t going to be a single letter surrounded by space unless it’s referring to the platform.
i have tried with various formats and unfortunately none of them work, or they just ignore the attempt.
i appreciate you trying to help, though. i honestly just kinda wish it would change names again so it’d be easier to somehow block. lol
Now that they won - the effort to collect what they won can start…!
It was more fun watching this loser lose before I realized it’s all they really do.
This is why I never read my emails.
you know what I always stan for? “former Twitter”. I just love that shit! I hope it always stays like this to show that the rebranding didn’T work
He literally still called the posts tweets so…
I’ve been thinking we need to get aspirational and take it to the next level:
Instead of “X (formally know as Twitter)”, the time has come for “Twitter (currently called X)”.
just call it twitter. literally everyone knows what it is, and twitter.com still redirects there so who gives a shit what he’s calling it. don’t show his site the courtesy he doesn’t show to his own daughter.
Don’t even acknowledge the current name of the site, just keep calling it Twitter.
“Trending on Occupied Twitter”
It’s just a special capitalist operation!
X is simply too vague.
I’m just sad we aren’t at calling it “formerly facebook” instead of meta
I’m not a fan of the company, but at least this one has a handful of different platforms underneath it - Oculus, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Having Facebook the product and Facebook the overarching company kind of ads a little complication.
I don’t quite feel the same way about Alphabet/Google, but at least that’s more subtle.
X can fuck the duck right off.
Yeah, same as Alphabet. Neither of these renamed their key product either. Just put a new company on top.
Poor duck.
The meta rebranding is not as evil as the hostile takeover of Twitter. So I am inclined to accept that name change but I do not know really what using meta means.
I don’t use FB, if I did I would still say FB. I use WhatsApp and I don’t call that meta. I guess the individual products just keep their names here.
There is also the difference that Facebook the service is still called Facebook. Only the company name changed, but not the product name. Where for Twitter, he renamed both the product and the company.
I still call it Facebook. Meta is equally stupid as X. Meta as a word already existed in multiple different ways. Now if you say ‘that’s meta’ you have to stop and think, which may be why I’ve seen that phrase really die out.
I just don’t call it anything. I avoid anything related to Facebook or Meta.
