Elon Musk’s controversial Irish job order.
The Workers’ Rights Commission (WRC), which adjudicates employment disputes in Ireland, on Monday ordered X to pay the fine to Gary Rooney, with the Irish Times reporting on Tuesday that it was the largest fine ever for the unfair dismissal of the organization.
“If you’re sure you want to be part of the new Twitter”…
Mr Rooney, a former executive at Twitter’s European headquarters in Ireland, was told he was resigning because he failed to respond to an email sent by Elon Musk after Twitter’s late 2022 takeover by Tesla’s American boss . The email reveals the vision of “Twitter 2.0” calling on employees to be “hardcore”, with Musk writing: “If you are sure you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below”. Those who did not click “yes” were told in the email that they would receive three months of severance pay.
Mr Rooney had worked at Twitter for nine years before he planned to step down in November 2022. Gary Rooney’s decision not to click “yes” on the email was not a resignation, concluded Michael MacNamee, responsible for the WRC, in the decision just reported. by the Irish Times. The full decision will be made public by the end of August.
