Is Musk planning to deny severance pay for fired Twitter staff?

In the seven weeks since Elon Musk completed his somewhat-reluctant takeover of Twitter, he’s created more HR horror stories than many CEOs will experience in an entire career.

First it was the decision to fire approximately half of Twitter’s workforce – roughly 3,700 employees, as he sought to slash costs and impose a demanding new work ethic. This was swiftly followed by the axing of "days of rest," which are highly popular company-wide days off, which were removed from calendars for the rest of the year.
