    Musk's Ex-Twitter Workers Win Severance Over 'Fork in the Road' Email

    Four ex-Twitter workers have prevailed in a recent series of
    closed-door arbitration proceedings over claims they were illegally
    denied severance, according to a memo seen by Bloomberg News.

    ..
    After Musk bought the social media company for $44 billion and
    promptly dismissed more than half the staff, former employees
    responded by filing complaints. The early losses for Musk in
    arbitration could build pressure for a settlement of similar
    allegations by individual workers who claim they're owed anywhere from
    nearly $100,000 to more than $1 million.

    Shannon Liss-Riordan, a lawyer representing former employees in
    arbitrations, wrote in the memo that the 20 cases she's won so far
    have cost the company at least twice the amount of contested severance
    pay because the awards have also included interest, arbitration
    expenses and legal fees.
