US Judge Refuses to Dismiss Lawsuit Accusing X of Age Bias in 2022 Layoffs::A US federal judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing X, the social media service formerly called Twitter, of disproportionately laying off older workers when Elon Musk acquired the company last year.
Elon musk can’t stop walking into rakes
Zeman, for example, claims that X laid off 60 percent of workers who were 50 or older and nearly three-quarters of those who were over 60, compared with 54 percent of employees younger than 50.
Just a reminder there’s no protection from being treated badly for being young, only for being old.
If you’re 35 and up for a promotion, it’s completely legal for your company to flat out say you’re not old enough. Or in this case twitter could have laid off 100% of under 35 year old employees and no one else.
Because old people make the rules.
Elon’s old though.
Because he’s “special”.
I have zero trouble believing he’d fire people younger than he is because they’re “too old”. But as a special snowflake genius, he’d never consider himself too old.
