Two women who lost their jobs at Twitter when billionaire Elon Musk took over are suing the company in federal court, claiming that last month's abrupt mass layoffs disproportionately affected female employees.
The discrimination lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges over Musk's decimation of Twitter's workforce through mass layoffs and firings.
The lawsuit alleges that also disproportionately harmed women,"who are more often caregivers for children and other family members, and thus not able to comply with such demands." The gap is even greater for women in engineering-related roles — 63% were laid off, compared to 48% of men with engineering roles, according to the lawsuit filed by prominent Boston workers' rights attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, who ran an unsuccessful Democratic primary campaign for Massachusetts attorney general earlier this year.
In Ireland, a senior executive is fighting the company in court to get her job back after she didn't respond to Musk's email demanding that employees pledge to"extremely hardcore" work or resign with severance pay.
