Twitter, mass dismissals and UK Employment Law
Having taken control only a week ago, Elon Musk is currently on a mission to reduce Twitter’s 8,000 strong workforce by as much as 50%. Employees are already being locked out of their remote desktops, while they await an email – if it goes to their work email account, they have a job, if it goes to their private email account, they don’t. Just like that. From an external perspective, there appear to be no attempts to comply with the requirements of UK employment law.
