I mean I bet we could find an email from Elon saying to fire every pregnant woman that is not pregnant with one of his children or something like that.

Nah, I don't think he'd bother going out of his way to keep a women pregnant with one of his own kids around.

That sort of excessive sentimentality is for jnon genius obviously.

Problem is that Elon isn't following through with severance pay. Article says that courts are forcing some of the employees to use arbitration, but it sounds like Twitter isn't cooperating with arbitration.

One weird trick!

Yeah she'd need some email or something where someone in management was complaining about her being pregnant before her getting fired to make that link
Managers are often very stupid and do things like discriminate openly because they think precisely that there aren't repercussions.

So uh, did Elon break every link on twitter now? All you get is the following:

It's tricky because you have to show that the termination was due to the discrimination, and since Musk decided to layoff seemingly anyone with a pulse in the early rounds of firings it's gonna be hard to make that link. That's not to say she doesn't have recourse because I believe Twitter is under like a half dozen suits under Cali law because of that indiscriminant round of layoffs. Otherwise Title VII protection is actually stronger than you think.
Also 90% of wrongful termination suits only result in a $5,000-$80,000 settlement.

Lol, did they gently caress it up so that calls from the browser app client don't get API access unless that individual user has the paid API stuff?

So why aren't any of these website breaking updates being pushed to a development server before going live to millions of people? I imagine an error like this would've been extremely easy to spot.

Odds are good that, in a normal development environment, this is just a flag in a config somewhere that need to be flipped, and maybe a server restart

However odds are good that, considering how Elon has been running things, there is no flag and they did in fact just push this live because DADDY NEEDS MONEY

In the companies I have worked at, yes. But they were not run by SUPER GENIUS Elon Musk.

I've not been keeping up with the thread, but there was another wave of layoffs over the last 1-2 weeks, of people working on Spaces and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Hoping this latest failurecascade is a direct result of this, by either them having gotten rid of someone absolutely essential, or someone actively sabotaging things out of spite.
