So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX **Threadbans in OP**

I'll bet banning a satirical website doesn't seem like such a good idea now!!

I doubt even the country managers for Ireland even know how many of their own people got the boot today.

It'll go down as one of the most self damaging business decisions since Gillette hired a feminist to produce an ad!!!

There is a couple pieces of employment legislation he may have broken in Ireland. However before that I have never seen the Taoiseach and senior ministers being critical of the way an MNC laid off staff before.

The first rule of any forced layoffs in Ireland is that the specific job you had must not be replaced. These layoffs has probably run afoul of that. Next he did not carry out the consultative period and did not interact with employees the paying of the four weeks dose not cover this.

If you check unfair dismissals cases what happens here is wide open for large compensation u less there is very good redundancy terms

Beau asks for $8 from Musk if he watches this video, re: Brand Safety 😂

Discussing how it's free speech if advertisers want to leave, and why they'd leave if the platform is full of N* bots (Brand Perception) and the CEO is spreading conspiracy theories in the replies to Hillary Clinton etc. (and digs at companies for Pride Month etc. marketing); Brands follow the money; Capitalism, baby (Musk should know everything about this, as CEO/Fmr-CEO of 3+ huge brands)

Beau didn't seem to cop (neither did the Washington Examiner) that Musk's tweet was a mockery of a Trump tweet. I haven't seen Elon explain what the joke is there - but the tweet hasn't inspired Brand Safety.

It's the position that's redundant not the individual, so if management think that they are overstaffed in an area they can let that person go through redundancy.

You can't use redundancy to fire a person. So say management didn't like Jim, they cannot make him redundant and then turn around and fill that position with someone else.

I cannot see how they have fallen foul of the law, if staff technically still have jobs out until February.

From looking at the staff posting on Twitter, the company had a lot of non-core, non revenue generating roles.

I thought it would have been a leaner operation tbh.

It hasn't recorded profit on a continuous basis it's entire existence.

During a Digital Ad Boom!!!

You'd have to wonder why it's taken so long for someone to try to make it profitable, it's like the platform had a different purpose than profit!!

They have not got a job he is paying them out until February

. They have been fired. When he locked them out there is no onus on them to any longer do anything for him.

There is few part to this. First some here gave equated it to a non-compete clause. It not employees have signed nothing. They have been sacked and locked out. There is no such thing as gardening leave/ non compete unless it's agreed between employer and employee.

In this case I have seen it reported that Musk instructed that complete teams should be left go ( this gets rid of team leaders and maybe managers as well) if this happened in Ireland and this work is taken over by other employees then it's an unfair dismissal.

It grew with the issues, eg. the human rights panel, and the myanmar genocide and other prior examples where the platform was inadvertently a facilitation of some pretty awful stuff.

They will be in employment until February, essentially they have been instructed to do nothing. They will get payslip and their tax credits will reflect this.

This is extremely common in Ireland, especially white collar work. From what's been reported, it doesn't sound like any laws have been broken.

I do not think so. There is no onus on them to. You have no clue about employment law. It not common. It can be considered mental health discrimation. There was cases a few years ago where employers left employee's with no work to do,( basically they left them in an office with no work) cost them a lot of money.

Unless you sign a non compete there is no onus on these employees any longer he has terminated there contract, suspended is gardening leave.
