Twitter employees to find out if they still have a job today

Just a few days after Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of the business, Twitter Inc. was sued on Thursday for a proposal that would have abruptly eliminated 3,700 positions at the social media platform.

Cornet v. Twitter Inc., a class action lawsuit that was filed on Thursday in federal court in San Francisco, has signatures from employees who contend that the firm did not give them proper notice and is in direct violation of federal and California law.

Employees of Twitter who were outraged Thursday night sent each other supportive messages, many of which included the hashtag #OneTeam. One of these was a tweet from a worker who claimed to be eight months pregnant, to be locked out of their work laptop on Thursday night, and to have just been fired.
