All current and former employees are now going through theír paychecks to see if Musk didn’t underpay them using currency conversions.
Desperate.
We’re terrible at our jobs! Make up for our mistakesssss!
No that’s your mistake billionaire union buster
Do they have a case here? Are they entitled to have that money returned if they paid it out already?
Depends on the laws. My province in Canada they have upto six months to realize they over paid you otherwise nothing legally they can do.
And in Florida, the employer can go fuck themselves.
SOURCE: Worked 5-years at a payroll firm. You deposit the money, it’s theirs, end. Doesn’t even matter if it’s the wrong account.
One of the very few things from Florida I actually agree with
Until they pay the wrong person lol
Sounds like they need better payroll processes to me
Unless you’re suggesting that it would mean the worker wouldn’t get paid? Yeah, no… They still owe for work done
From the Australian fair work ombudsmen:
When overpayments occur, the employer and employee should discuss and agree on a repayment arrangement.
If the employee agrees to repay the money, a written agreement should be made which sets out the:
-
reason for the overpayment
-
amount of money overpaid
-
way repayments will be made (for example, cash, cheque or electronic transfer) and how often (this has to be reasonable).
Granted, this is generally for overpayment of wages and not specific to redundancy pay. There may be clauses in their contracts with varying terms that allow them to reclaim, but I’m just some dude on the internet.

this bodes well for elon’s intentions to make twitter a bank.
Fuck X. It’s an imaginary thing. Fuck ever so slightly less Twitter, which at least exists but it can get fucked as well.
See your mistaken th8ugh twitter does not exist anymore. It did now it doesn’t.
This comment made me realize we tolerate Twitter because we can call it Twitter, but to make it go away, we need to stop focusing on that part and just pretend it doesn’t exist.
Not joking here. Fuck whatever it’s called. I’m not engaging any posts about it or from it anymore.
What an asshole, given how he treated them when he took over. (behind the bastards podcast about the lawsuits against him because of it)

Summary:
- Elon Musk’s X Corp. is demanding money from at least six laid-off Australian employees, claiming it accidentally overpaid them due to currency conversion errors
- The alleged overpayments ranged from $1,500 to $70,000 per employee
- X made the currency conversion errors when paying out the share entitlements to the laid-off employees
- The former employees have not repaid the money so far, and X has threatened to take them to court to seek the return of the funds plus interest
- This is in contrast to what allegedly happened to many former US-based workers, who are fighting to receive severance from X
- X is also facing lawsuits from former Twitter executives who claim they were cheated out of severance, and from vendors who were not paid after Musk took over Twitter
What a poorly run company.
It’s running into the ground, and Musk is determined to keep on running.
Who could have foreseen that laying off a shit ton of people and working the remaining people into the ground (often under threat of deportation due to visas) would result in costly errors??
-business genius Elon Musk, apparently
The irony of Mr. “I demand $56B to stay with the company, even though I already have more money than God” demanding at maximum $351,500 from six people who got shitcanned.
He’s an abuser. He’s going to abuse people at any chance. The money is entirely irrelevant.
Musk doesn’t have shit for money. He wanted the 56B payout from Tesla’s equity to conveniently almost perfectly cover the money he was forced waste on buying his nazi propaganda broadcast site.
