Nairobi, Kenya CNN —Former employees of Twitter Africa who were laid off as part of a global cost-cutting measure after Elon Musk’s acquisition have not received any severance pay more than seven months since leaving the company, several sources told CNN.
“They literally ghosted us,” one former Twitter Africa employee told CNN.
Twitter and Musk face multiple lawsuits where plaintiffs are claiming the company has failed to pay former staffers what they are owed.
The plaintiff said Twitter promised senior employees severance of six months of base pay plus one week for every year of service, in addition to other benefits.
“We’re exploring our options with respect to causes of action against Twitter in various jurisdictions including Ghana,” Olympio told CNN.
