Elon Musk failed to provide previously promised severance payouts to laid-off Twitter employees

Elon Musk: Twitter employees who were laid off are suing the company, claiming they were promised a variety of severance benefits.

According to the lawsuit, they were guaranteed that these perks would continue when Elon Musk purchased Twitter.

However, recently laid-off employees claim Twitter failed to pay them their promised severance money.

Employees who were laid off by Twitter are suing the firm, which is now owned by Elon Musk, alleging breach of previously agreed severance benefits.

Five employees who filed a class-action lawsuit against Twitter on November 1 now claim they were promised at least two months’ severance pay, bonus plan compensation, cash value of vested Twitter equity, and healthcare coverage, but that these promises were broken when Musk laid off about 3,700 employees on November 4.

The new charges were presented in court files to the San Francisco federal court on Tuesday, which Insider also saw.

According to the Tuesday update, Twitter’s management previously said at many all-hands meetings, in a recent FAQ, and in a merger agreement that if staff were laid off after Musk acquired the firm, they would receive at least the equivalent of the originally promised amount.

According to the lawsuit, Twitter employees “reasonably relied” on this guarantee in the weeks preceding up to Musk’s purchase and elected not to look for work elsewhere.

This claim appears to contrast a November 4 tweet from Musk, which said that all exited employees were offered three months’ severance.

According to the revised lawsuit, Twitter later informed employees affected by the November mass layoffs that they would only receive one month’s base pay after their departure.

This claims appears to contradict Musk’s November 4 tweet, which stated that all departing employees were given three months’ severance pay.

Musk has worked every day to find new methods to screw over Twitter employees, according to his counsel.

According to Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney who brought the lawsuit, Musk is adding an extra two months of severance compensation because certain employees were advised on November 4 that they would be laid off in two months.

According to their lawsuit, these employees, which included three of the plaintiffs, were locked out of their corporate accounts on November 3, but were informed they would be paid until January 4, 2023.

“This is not severance compensation,” Liss-Riordan argued in the case, accusing Musk of just using this term of payment to comply with federal and state labour rules. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, also known as the WARN Act, is a federal law that requires businesses with 100 or more employees to provide 60 days’ notice of mass layoffs or other work disruptions.

“It appears Elon Musk has laboured every day since assuming control of Twitter barely two weeks ago to find new and imaginative methods to screw over the company’s workers,” Liss-Riordan said in a statement to Insider. “We recently filed an emergency request to protect the employees Twitter is laying off from signing away their rights to receive what they are due by the corporation.”

Twitter’s previous top four executives — Parag Agrawal, Ned Segal, Vijaya Gadde, and Sarah Personette — stood to profit by being dismissed by Musk for a total of $88 million. Musk disputed on October 31 that he fired the senior executives “for cause” in order to avoid paying them large severance packages.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: The Marvel Fan’s Guide, eyes 15 crore weekend figure

Heart-shaped herb is a plant that thrives on soil rich in vibranium. The vibranium characteristics endow the plant with powers, and it is this herb that must be consumed in order to become the superhuman Black Panther.

Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) destroyed the rest of the heart-shaped herb after ingesting it and killing T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) in the first film, hoping to prevent anyone from gaining the Black Panther’s powers and defeating him. However, Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) kept one and used it to resurrect T’Challa. Wakanda is left without a heart-shaped herb and no way to save the dying T’Challa, let alone induct a new Black Panther at the start of Wakanda Forever. Later in the film, Shuri (Letitia Wright) is able to synthesise a new heart-shaped herb using a relic from the vibranium-rich Atlantean city of Talokan.

The heart-shaped herb is a plant that thrives on soil rich in vibranium. The vibranium characteristics endow the plant with powers, and it is this herb that must be consumed in order to become the superhuman Black Panther.

What’s the deal with Nakia, and what is she doing in Haiti? That was a little perplexing.

The key to understanding Nakia’s plot is remembering that she lost T’Challa twice: once after Thanos’ Snap in Avengers: Infinity War, and again five years later in Avengers: Endgame, when he dies of an unknown illness. That is why she has been gone for six years: She originally fled after the Snap, and she didn’t return even for T’Challa’s funeral five years later, and the majority of Wakanda Forever events take place a year after the funeral. In Haiti, she appears to be taking the time to grieve that Shuri refuses to, and she’s teaching young children—plus there’s one more thing she’s been doing to that won’t be revealed.

What should I be aware of regarding the mid-credits scene? Is there a post-credits sequence?

T’Challa and Nakia secretly had a son, T’Challa Jr., and she has been raising him in Haiti, away from the pressures of monarchy, per T’Challa’s desires, in the mid-credits sequence. Then there’s no post-credits sequence! All we see is the statement “Black Panther will return.” Perhaps they decided that teasing more Marvel product after the sweet mid-credits would be too obnoxious.

Why does Nakia state her son’s name “has a long history”?

She’s referring to his Haitian name, Toussaint. He was named after Toussaint Louverture, the leader of the Haitian Revolution, which not only ended slavery on the island but also inspired anti-colonial revolts around the world. Louverture was such a great leader that his legend grew to the point where he was sometimes thought to have supernatural powers, and his ability to evade capture was once compared to that of a tiger. So: liberation figure with superhuman strength in the shape of a big cat—you get the picture.

In the comics, does T’Challa have a son?

He certainly does! But everything else is different: he’s called Azari T’Challa, and T’Challa père had him with Storm from the X-Men, so he’s not only the next Black Panther, but he also has mutant powers. The Marvel Cinematic Universe appears to be heading in a different direction.

T’Challa did have a son, Azari T’Challa, in the comic books. However, that child exists in an alternate reality, and his mother is Storm, an X-Woman who has yet to be introduced in the MCU or the Black Panther series. T’Challa’s child with Nakia appears to be a completely new character who is not bound by source material. And, given his youth, it appears unlikely that Prince T’Challa will be a major recurring character.

Who is this new Iron Man-like figure? I’m not sure what she was doing in this film, but I like her.

Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), aka Ironheart, is the character. (You may have noticed the heart-shaped glow in the centre of her supersuit.) She first appeared in the Iron Man comics in 2016, and she became so popular that she now has her own comics, written by Eve Ewing. In terms of what she’s doing in this film, it appears that they’re preparing for her Marvel TV show, which is set to premiere next year.

Is Shuri’s rendition of the adventure rushed? Undoubtedly, T’Challa’s was as well, but within the confines of the MCU, symbolic gestures frequently trump those that are more grounded or emotional. Shuri’s change of heart occurs without much hesitation, quandary, or significant emotional impetus. Despite its flaws, the film gets one thing right: Shuri is the next in line.

Ryan Coogler revealed shortly after the debut of Disney+ that he planned to create a Wakanda series that will explore other areas of the technologically advanced African kingdom and feature numerous distinct individuals. Danai Gurira will feature in a programme about her character Okoye’s genesis tale on the streaming service, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It’s unknown if these two projects are related, but expect to see more of Wakanda on television soon.

Meta Fires 11,000 Employees, while Redfin Fires 862—Here Are the Biggest Layoffs in the United States This Year

Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc has opted to reduce 13% of its staff and lay off around 11,000 employees, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a blog post. The layoffs at Meta, one of the largest in the social media industry, are anticipated to begin on Wednesday, according to Zuckerberg, who also stated that staff departing today will not be able to access most Meta systems in order to secure sensitive information.

TOPLINE On Wednesday, Facebook parent company Meta confirmed a massive round of layoffs affecting 13% of its workforce (11,000 employees), and real estate company Redfin announced plans to cut 862 jobs—the latest major companies to implement layoffs as employers fear rising inflation and a cooling housing market will push the economy into recession.

Meta will also take more efforts to build a “leaner and more efficient” organisation, including eliminating discretionary spending and extending the employment freeze through the first quarter of 2023, according to Zuckerberg.

Meta reported over 87,000 employees in September. In September, Zuckerberg announced a hiring freeze as well as intentions to restructure teams in order to cut costs.

Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc has opted to reduce 13% of its staff and lay off around 11,000 employees, according to **CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a blog post**

“I got this wrong, and I accept responsibility,”: Meta Layoffs.

Mark Zuckerberg has published remarks explaining why Meta will be laying off thousands of people. This blog post is about Meta layoffs and addressing all employees. Previously, Zuckerberg indicated that the layoffs will be done to reduce expenses and boost efficiency. Overstaffing was another issue that contributed to huge layoffs.

Meta will be laying off personnel across the board, including the Family of Apps and Reality Labs. According to the CEO’s blog post, certain teams will be more affected than others. According to reports and netizen comments, the Meta layoffs were among the worst tech layoffs ever.

Severance pay, stock compensation, and other benefits are offered in the case of a layoff.

In a blog post shared by Mark Zuckerberg indicated that staff would receive 16 weeks of base compensation plus two additional weeks for every year of service they have provided to Meta, with no cap. Employees will also receive compensated time off.

All employees who were laid off would get their stock compensation (RSU Vesting) on November 15, 2022.

Lay off Employees would also receive six months of health care and insurance coverage for themselves and their families.

Meta will also provide three months of career coaching to employees through an external partner, allowing them early access to unpublished employment leads.

For the Meta layoffs in the United States, the tech company will provide immigration assistance to those who joined on an H-1B visa. According to Zuckerberg’s announcement, employees would have a notice period, as well as visa grace periods, to give them time to work through their immigration situation.

We’re also extending our hiring freeze through the first quarter, with a few exceptions. I’ll be watching our business performance, operational efficiency, and other macroeconomic aspects to see if and how much recruiting should resume at that point. This will allow us to control our cost structure in the event of a prolonged economic downturn. It will also put us on track to attain a more efficient cost structure than we recently presented to investors.

Record breaking Partnership by Babar and Rizwan: Pakistan Won Semifinal and First Finalist of T20 World Cup 2022

Record breaking Partnership by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are at their best, putting the Black Caps to the sword in Sydney and making an achievable but challenging chase appear simple.

In the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup semifinal on Wednesday, Pakistan’s opening batsmen put on an outstanding display that helped their team defeat New Zealand.

Babar and Rizwan have received periodic criticism for their play, scoring rates, and group-stage performance, with the captain appearing particularly off-balance.

However, the pair’s statistics in 20-over cricket are astounding, as they broke another another record while preparing for their victory over New Zealand.

More than any other opening combo in the tournament’s history, the Pakistan openers’ 105-run stand marked their third century partnership in a Men’s T20I World Cup.

Their eighth century partnership in all T20Is was also an all-time high, easily surpassing the next-highest team of India’s KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma, who had five.

New Zealand versus Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022, Live Cricket Score, First Semifinal: After losing the toss, Pakistan seized control of the semifinal, with Devon Conway getting run out by Shadab Khan off the final ball of the powerplay and Finn Allen being removed by Shaheen Shah Afridi in the first over. As New Zealand finished at 152/4 in their allotted 20 overs, runs from Kane Williamson (46) and Daryl Mitchell (53), among others, helped the team out much.

Babar and Rizwan have combined to score 2509 runs for Pakistan in the Men’s T20I format, which is 621 runs more than any other duo, making them by far the highest-scoring partnership in the history of the competition.

Their current partnering average is 51.20. In order to put things into perspective, only three duos with over 1000 partnership runs have an average over 40, and none have an average above 50.

After witnessing his openers turn on the style, Pakistan coach Matthew Hayden stated, “Tonight was quite spectacular and a couple things came out for us.”

“Babar and Rizwan will be the talk of the town… the sky is the limit, and these two men have been serving Pakistan for a while.”

Rizwan was only recently knocked off the top spot in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s T20I Batting Rankings, and has appeared in somewhat better form than his skipper, scoring 49 against Netherlands and 32 against Bangladesh in the Super 12 stage.

But his 57 off 43 balls against the Black Caps was easily his biggest contribution of the tournament so far, and Rizwan afterwards stated that his knock was predicated on aggression up top and then a transition to an anchor attitude as the innings progressed.

“Of course, Babar and I opted to go after the new ball, and the pitch was tricky.”

“When we concluded the powerplay, we debated who of the guys should leave.”

Skipper Babar Azam (53) and Mohammad Rizwan (57) combined for 105 runs for the first wicket, effectively sealing Pakistan’s victory. The men in green eventually won the game with five balls remaining and seven wickets in hand.

Pakistan vs New Zealand: Which side has the upper hand in T20 World Cups: Pakistan or New Zealand?

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Cricket Score, T20 WC 2022, 1st Semi-Final: After almost a month of high intensity action, we are now at the business end of the T20 World Cup as Pakistan lock horns against New Zealand in the first semifinal at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday. Pakistan, who got to the semis after a nail-biting final day of the Super 12 stage, will have Netherlands to thank. The Dutch defeated favourites South Africa and then Pakistan defeated Bangladesh to scrape through to the next stage. The Men in Green will, however, start afresh in the knockout stage and with their gritty, never say die attitude, will be the team to beat.

New Zealand started their T20 campaign with a dominating victory over Australia and have just lost once in this tournament. Considered heavy favourites heading into the semi, the Kiwis will hope to end the jinx that Pakistan have over them. The Black Caps have never beaten Pakistan in a world-cup semi-final. In three past encounters, in 1992, 1999, and 2007, Pakistan would triumph. On Wednesday, New Zealand will hope to put all those doubts to bed.

New Zealand began their T20 season with a resounding victory over Australia and have only lost once since. The Kiwis, who are considered heavy favourites going into the semi-final, will be hoping to break Pakistan’s curse. Pakistan has never beaten New Zealand in a World Cup semi-final. Pakistan has won three previous meetings, in 1992, 1999, and 2007. New Zealand will seek to put all those misgivings to rest on Wednesday.

Pakistan were handed a lifeline when the Netherlands defeated South Africa in the opening game of the three-game series on Sunday, but with a clean slate, they are determined to go all the way. Pakistan and New Zealand face off in the first semi-final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Sydney. Both teams are familiar foes from prior tri-series in this region of the world. Having having defeated New Zealand in New Zealand to win the tri-series trophy, Pakistan will be looking for a win with the momentum they have built over the last couple of Super 12 matches.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is Arkansas’s first woman governor : Republican

Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was elected governor of Arkansas on Tuesday, becoming the state’s first female governor and the highest-profile Trump administration official in political office.

Sanders defeated Democratic nominee Chris Jones in the governor’s election in her mainly Republican home state, where former President Donald Trump still enjoys popularity. Sanders was widely expected to win the campaign, which also included Libertarian nominee Ricky Dale Harrington.

Sanders’ campaign, which focused mostly on national concerns, broke state funding records. Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, has repeatedly threatened to use her position to oppose President Joe Biden and the “radical left.”

Sanders, 40, becomes the state’s first female governor and succeeds outgoing term-limited Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Her inauguration is scheduled for January, 16 years after her father, Mike Huckabee, departed office after a 10-year tenure as governor.

Despite a recent cancer diagnosis and a strong campaign from Democratic nominee Chris Jones, Sanders’ win was all but certain. Sanders was chastised during her campaign for not focusing on Arkansas-specific concerns and for restricting press access in favour of highly planned rallies and appearances.

Jones, a Baptist preacher and MIT-educated scientist, chastised Sanders in their single debate two weeks before Election Day for her apparent lack of transparency and clear policy goals.

“The more we have politicians who are unwilling to turn up and answer the tough issues in front of opposing crowds and opposing media, the more we will deviate from the strength of our democracy,” Jones added.

Sanders, in her victory speech on Tuesday night, did not address either the previous or current president, instead sharing tales about supporters she encountered during her campaign.

“This election is about propelling Arkansas to the top,” Sanders declared. “I feel Arkansas has the potential to be first, and I’m committed to being the leader who gets us there.”

Stan Hall, a retired postal worker, said he supported Sanders but wished she would focus more on state issues rather than criticising Biden or extolling her time working for Trump.

“I think you should just state your own feelings about what you’re going to attempt to do to change things,” Hall advised. “Everyone knew who she was and what she did, so continuing to beat that drum was a little too much for me.”

Sanders will succeed Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who will step down in January due to term restrictions. Hutchinson, who supported Sanders’ campaign, is exploring a run for president in 2024 and has regularly disagreed with Trump.

Sanders scaled back daily televised briefings during her nearly two-year stint at the White House after repeatedly fighting with reporters who questioned her aggressively. She was called out on her reliability, especially after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report revealed that Sanders admitted to making an incorrect allegation to media about FBI agents’ reactions to director James Comey’s removal. But she also earned the respect of reporters by working behind the scenes to build ties with the media.

During her campaign for governor, Sanders embraced Trump’s rhetoric and adopted many of his favourite targets, including critical race theory and the national news media. But she has refrained from condemning Hutchinson, even after the former president called her a RINO — Republican In Name Only — for vetoing an anti-transgender bill.

Google increases ‘Workspace Individual’ free storage from 15GB to 1TB

Workspace Individual, an enhanced version of the suite, was released at the same time to attract you into paying the company money. With its expanded storage space, Workspace Individual has become a little more appealing. Last year, Google made its Workspace productivity application free to all users.

Thanks to a recent Google update, new capabilities are now available in Workspace Individual. The most significant is expanded cloud storage without an increase in pricing. Previously, 15GB of space for individual accounts—equivalent to a basic Gmail account—was offered, but this has since been extended to a dependable 1TB of online storage.

Individual users are immediately upgraded from 15GB to 1TB. Simply sit back and wait for it to appear in your bank account, assuming you have one.

*Google increases ‘Workspace Individual’ free storage from 15GB to 1TB*: **Research Editorial**

Expanding firms, according to the corporation, require as much storage as feasible. Furthermore, Google Drive allows users to access their data “securely from any device,” according to Google. Furthermore, the idea that Workspace Individual clients would not use other services (like as OneDrive or Dropbox) since they already have so much storage doesn’t harm. When it comes to purchasing additional storage, the search engine behemoth plans to be the frontrunner.

Individual Workspace is still fairly local, at least for the time being. Recently, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Greece, and Argentina were granted access.

What exactly is Google Workspace?

It is a single, integrated service from Google that provides everything in one place – Gmail, Chat, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and more.

You may use Google Chat to set up a secure collaboration space to keep everyone up to date, discuss ideas, and keep track of all your vital information in one spot, from videos and photos from your last vacation to a Google Sheet of your family’s annual budget. Whether you’re drafting a message in Gmail to the entire group or booking a meeting invite in a shared Calendar, smart suggestions let you bring in recommended files and swiftly include the right people using @-mentions.

Earthquake of magnitude 6.6 strikes rocks western Nepal, with tremors reported as far away as New Delhi

An earthquake hit west Nepal’s highlands early Wednesday, killing at least six people who were sleeping in their homes, according to a government official.

The tremor was felt as far away as New Delhi, India’s capital, which is around 400 kilometres (250 miles) west of the epicentre.

According to Kalpana Shrestha, the chief officer of Doti district, six people were killed when their dwellings in a remote, sparsely populated mountain community were crushed. Five more people were hurt.

A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the lower Himalayan region early Wednesday morning, November 9, causing tremors to tear through north India and portions of Nepal and jolting people out of their sleep in dozens of cities and villages. Strong earthquake shocks were felt in Delhi and the nearby areas of Ghaziabad and Gurugram, as well as in Lucknow, jolting people awake. Here are some recent developments:

*Earthquake of magnitude 6.6 strikes rocks western Nepal*: **Research** **Editorial**

The earthquake, which struck at 2:12 a.m. local time, frightened people in mountain communities, forcing many to spend the night outside, according to Shrestha.

She stated that security forces had been sent to the rural communities to assist with the rescue effort. There were reports of houses being damaged in various areas, but no fresh casualties were reported.

Videos released on social media showed residents moving debris by hand to find casualties buried by earthquake-damaged buildings, as well as shining cell phone lights to shift the heaps of wood and stones used to build dwellings in most mountain villages.

The majority of the mountain settlements can only be accessed by foot, and there are no highways to transport heavy equipment to aid in the rescue.

In a statement, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba said he has directed government authorities to provide urgent support to victims and their families, as well as all necessary medical care to those injured.

The preliminary magnitude was 6.6, according to Nepal’s National Earthquake Monitoring and Research Center. The early data of a 5.6 magnitude earthquake with a depth of 15.7 kilometres (9.8 miles) and an epicentre 21 kilometres (13 miles) east of Dipayal were released by the US Geological Survey.

Earthquakes are widespread in Nepal’s hilly terrain, which is home to the world’s tallest peak. In 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed 9,000 people and injured thousands more.

Nvidia to Sell New Chip in China: Says Meets US Export Ban

Nvidia Corp., the world’s most valuable chipmaker, has begun manufacturing a processor for China that complies with new laws intended at limiting that country’s access to artificial-intelligence computing.

Nvidia announced in a statement Monday that the A800 GPU, or graphics processing unit, entered into production in the third quarter and will be an alternative to the A100 model. “The A800 fulfils the US government’s explicit test for reduced export restriction and cannot be programmed to exceed it,” stated the chipmaker based in Santa Clara, California.

Nvidia shocked investors earlier this year when it announced that it would be banned from selling the A100 and upcoming H100 devices to Chinese consumers unless special US government approval was obtained. The adjustment jeopardised hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. According to Nvidia in an August regulatory filing, the US is afraid that the CPUs would be used by the military.

Last month, the Biden administration tightened the limits, raising tensions between the two countries and creating new obstacles for US chipmakers already facing a fall in demand. Nvidia has lost more than half of its value this year, after three years of growth.

Data centres rely on graphics hardware from companies like Nvidia to conduct AI tasks and process massive amounts of data. The US government’s limits on China exports limit the speeds at which such chips may communicate with one another, limiting their utility.

According to Reuters, Nvidia has began selling the A800.

According to a Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis, “the White House is attempting to limit the controls to chips that are designed to be networked together in data centres or supercomputing facilities that train and run large AI models by only targeting chips with very high interconnect speeds.”

Elon Musk recommends Republicans to vote in the US midterm elections

Elon Musk recommended on Monday that voters support Republican candidates for US Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, suggested on Monday that voters choose Republican candidates for the United States Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

*Elon Musk recommends Republicans to vote in the US midterm elections*

“To independent-minded voters: Shared authority restrains the worst excesses of both parties; therefore, provided that the presidency is Democratic, I urge voting for a Republican Congress,” Musk wrote on Twitter.

Since Musk’s purchase of Twitter, human rights organisations have attacked the Tesla CEO’s content moderation attitude over his absolutist free speech stance, which they believe would increase the volume of disinformation and hate speech on the platform.

According to nonpartisan election analysts and surveys, Republicans have a very strong probability of winning a House majority, with control of the Senate likely to be fought more closely.

Musk has previously stated that he will vote for Republicans, but he also supports moderates on both sides of the political line.

“Hardcore Democrats and Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters actually decide who’s in charge!” Musk wrote on Twitter.
