The Twitter workers who lost their jobs in the wake of Elon Musk's upending of the company are very keen on getting a major payout for their troubles:

Twitter Inc on Wednesday was hit with a lawsuit accusing it of refusing to pay at least $500 million in promised severance to thousands of employees who were laid off after Elon Musk acquired the company.

Five hundred million is, well - -

The suit, filed by former Twitter benefits manager Courtney McMillian, claims that a 2019-era benefits agreement required the company to pay out at least two months' worth of severance, and up to six for senior employees, in the event of a firing.

The suit alleges that many employees received just one month of payouts, while others received none at all.

The company responded to a request for comment with a poop emoji.

I know that's the standard reply for all emails asking for comment, but still...
