Employees Sue X Over Failure To Pay Bonuses Amounting To More Than $5 Million

The class action suit was originally filed in June by X's former head of compensation Mark on behalf of himself and a slew of other current and former X employees.
Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is facing a court battle after staff accused the company of failing to pay bonuses promised to them, CNN reported. According to the lawsuit filed in the San Francisco federal court, the staff alleged that ''Twitter refused to pay employees who remained employed by the company in the first quarter of 2023 any bonus.''
Last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria, allowed the lawsuit against the company to move ahead and denied X's motion to dismiss the case.
''Both before and after Musk's acquisition was completed in October 2022, Twitter's management continuously promised the company's employees, including the plaintiff, that their annual bonus for 2022 will be paid under the Bonus Plan,'' the lawsuit read.
