Good to hear. Thanks.

> I imagine the buyout netted most employees with stock hundreds of thousands of dollars.

One of the theories knocking around last week was that these layoffs are just before a stock vesting was to happen, presumably in an attempt to avoid paying them.

Which is just hilarious. He can't do mass layoffs without 60 days notice as per WARN, so the idiot just bought another lawsuit against him.

But he didn't violate WARN because the employees are getting severance.... The warn act is an either/or

The lawsuit has already been filed against Twitter.

Should be quite easy if it is about the warn act then. You can read it yourself or one of the many very easy summaries.

Right, isn't it basically 60 days notice or 60 days severance?

However, that theory was proven false. Today is Friday and vesting was Tuesday.

I find it very odd that people keep mentioning it despite it not panning out, and not sure what to make of it.

Out of honest curiosity, what was your intent for bringing it up?

Has anyone confirmed that the stock vests actually happened? Or did they get postponed whilst the layoffs where being organised? Haven't seen anything either way.

And I don't think it's that odd to consider that a man well known for flaunting the law would flaunt the law on this as well.

I haven't seen any screenshots of pay stubs to verify it. Given that it was a conspiracy theory to begin with and there is no confirmation to follow up, my assumption is that no, it did not happen.

Elsewhere it has been announced that laid off employees are getting quite generous Severance packages, so this would be out of line with that.
