Sources: some former US Twitter employees finally received their severance agreements, offering only one month of base pay as severance and no prorated bonuses

and they fall short of expectations. https://fortune.com/... https://twitter.com/... Gergely Orosz / @gergelyorosz : This is mad. The 50% of staff who were laid off from Twitter on 4 November this year were verbally promised 3 months of severance. Those people, as of today, are technically unemployed. Yet no one I talked with got any details on severance or communications from Musk/Twitter. https://twitter.com/... Kylie Robison / @kyliebytes : The agreements are being sent out by a 3rd party service provider called CPT Group, in lieu of in-house HR. It's not yet clear why only some have received their agreements, but many have been finding the agreements in their spam folder, sources say. https://fortune.com/... @moved2italy2 : “...some hiccups in the process..” Not sure how Americans feel about it but here in Italy, a Republic based on work, when 5,500 employees get fired that's seen as an epic FAILURE all around! #Elmo #MuskRat https://fortune.com/... Alistair Barr / @alistairmbarr : “Imagine waiting so long and then getting this” https://www.businessinsider.com/ ... via @businessinsider @HaysKali Josie / @javavvitch : ONE MONTH? https://twitter.com/... Alexei Oreskovic / @lexnfx : Twitter employees laid off after Elon Musk's takeover received severance payments today that fall short of expectations https://fortune.com/... Kylie Robison / @kyliebytes : Those who received were directed to visit a domain, but that domain was set up roughly 5 hours before the severance agreements went out and doesn't have Twitter's name in it, causing many to believe it was a phishing attempt. https://fortune.com/... Bismah Malik / @bismahmalik : Employees had begun rendering resignations last month under the Voluntary Severance Package mainly software development engineers. Sources say that Amazon India is also looking to merge tech teams https://twitter.com/... Gergely Orosz / @gergelyorosz : Heck, people are not even sure that they are unemployed, or from what date. They have no received no communications. No details. And definitely no severance. Has something like this happened at any other tech company before? Tori Elliott / @telliotter : New from me and @stokel today: Many laid off Twitter employees were kept on the payroll for the past 2 months and expected severance packages to come through this week. But the people we spoke to said they've heard nothing from the company. https://www.wired.com/... Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi / @brokep : You do realise it's going to be much worse than what's going on at twitter when someone buys Facebook? Zuckerberg is not going to be around forever. Any State would also love to own all that juicy private personal stuff that's on there. Lauren Goode / @laurengoode : “Seven former Twitter employees who spoke to WIRED said they had not received info about their severance. Last month a handful of former employees announced they would be filing arbitration cases against the co, alleging that it had violated the WARN Act.” https://www.wired.com/... Kate Duffy / @kate__duffy : Elon Musk said he'd offer severance to laid-off Twitter employees, but some say they're still waiting for pay two months down the line. “We got nothing,” one ex-Twitter worker told me. https://www.businessinsider.com/ ...

    NEW: After several days of additional delays since I last reported on Twitter severance, some employees received their agreements today — and they fall short of expectations. https://fortune.com/... https://twitter.com/...
