Twitter was sued by former employees who say they were not given enough notice under federal and California law that they had lost their jobs amid ongoing mass layoffs.

The class-action lawsuit was filed in San Francisco federal court Thursday by five current or former Twitter employees, including Emmanuel Cornet, a software engineer known for his satirical cartoons critiquing Silicon Valley, who was fired Tuesday, according to the complaint.

Twitter informed employees Thursday evening, days after Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took control of the company, that it would begin laying off staff members, according to communications obtained by NBC News. In the email, Twitter said staffers will receive a notice about their employment in their work email if they still have a job, or their personal email accounts if their "employment is impacted."

Twitter employees are expecting the company to cut 50% of its workforce, or roughly 3,700 employees.

The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires employers to provide advance notice, generally within 60 days, of mass layoffs or plant closings.

"Plaintiffs file this action seeking to ensure that Twitter comply with the law and provide the requisite notice or severance payment in connection with the anticipated layoffs," the complaint states.

The lawsuit asks the court to issue an order requiring Twitter to obey the WARN Act. It also seeks to prevent Twitter from soliciting employees to sign documents that could give up their right to participate in litigation.

Representatives from Twitter didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

CNBC has not confirmed this with former Twitter employees.

A spokesperson for California's employment department said Twitter has not filed any WARN notices with the agency this year.

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.

The truth is that Twitter as a company is severely bloated. Too many employees doing too little.

Now that a businessman has bought Twitter, he wants to run it like a business.
Cut costs and increase profits.

Employees are a liability when they're not generating revenue to justify their expense.

And this is the same problem with Nigeria.
So many ministers, senators, house of reps, special advisers draining the country's resources.

Too many allowances that don't even make any sense.

Go to the ministries and government agencies to see the high level of inactivity going on.

They're simply pushing pencil, chewing gum, playing solitaire on computer.

We need the the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company to run this country. In less than five years Nigeria will have no debt.

It doesn't take rocket science to fix Nigeria. The people that don't want the country to be fixed prefer Nigeria as it is because they're profiting from the waste and corruption.

This is called wuruwuru to the answer.

Twitter is bla bla bla, yet was sold for 44 billion dollars.

This is what should happen to majority of our political office holders .........

Mass sacking, they should all go and get a job/run a business............

The ministries and government parastatals that are very engaging, what do govt offer them in return? Alaye leave matter for Mathias. With the way Nigeria is running it's workers renumeration, do you think workers will be dedicated? Look at ASUU after so much time at home and an agreement reached, Govt still went ahead to pay half salaries, is that a serious govt? You forgot an ebonyi lecturer that was assassinated while doing Uber because of poor pay and strikes, how can you be a govt worker and still be looking for side hustle? Like not out of interest in the hustle but to survive and feed?

Pls be considerate when criticize govt workers.

Have you said anything about the working environment of these people? They use their money to buy chairs and tables to sit on, offices has no AC, no stationeries, no imprest to run office, official vehicles are dead and not replaced,. No staff buses.

Some are work without going on leave for years, they transfer them in-between states with no DTA, they send on course and they have to pay their own money to register and never get any course allowance, I can go on and on. Lecturers use their salaries to fund research, no research fund or grants, even when they are qualified.
Majority of them are frustrated by the system.
Don't be too fast to be critical, investigate as well.

Musk is riding high!!!

Na as he sack all Twitter staff for Africa I no understand!
