Elon Musk who acquired the company in a deal worth $44 billion has overseen a mass layoffs that cleared 50 percent of the workforce. The action affected workers of the company in different countries including Ireland.
The Irish workers said there was no notice before the decision was sent to them. The employees are reportedly suing the company for ignoring the country’s law that mandates employees to notify their workers in the case of mass layoffs. This is the second class action against the company in less than 24 hours.
