    I was thinking “this wouldn’t be successful in the USA”, and yep, it’s in a country with proper workers’ rights (Ireland). No doubt some of the other affected employees in Ireland (35 of them according to the article) will sue Twitter too.

      Imagine taking pride in this fucking gold plated cesspool we call the US.

      It boggles the mind.

        I’ve lived in the USA for 11 years, and there’s some things in the USA that I really like, but the lack of worker and consumer rights is a major issue. At least California has some consumer rights, but it’s nowhere near as strong as where I’m from (Australia).

      Damn, $600k times 35 people is only $21mil. That’s pocked change for this jerk. And yet, I’ll bet he fights paying just the $600k to the one person tooth and nail like the spoiled rich fuck that he is.
