Now she should do fuck all and just take the paycheck...

Are they going to reinstate all of the other wrongly fired Europeans who live in countries with better employment protections than the US? I'm pretty sure there are a number of other lawsuits.

Accept the paycheck while spending her whole day lining up a better job. No rush.

Hell, go work at the better job and double dip. It's not like Twitter has enough HR or managerial staff to pay attention. Just straight up steal from Elon. I would.

Elon quintouple dips. Why shouldn't his employees?

It's not stealing. That's why I downvoted you. Otherwise I agree. The only party that broke the law here was the employer.

Then I guess Elon can't be CEO of 4 companies at once.

Elon is free to negotiate his contracts however he wants, such as "no single employment clauses".

I've worked for a lot of software companies and I've signed a lot of contracts. Nothing I've ever looked at has a "single employment" clause and I don't know how that would ever be enforcible anyway.

It really depends on the contract she signed. Most midrange to high level contracts include this, but "VP of Global[something]" may be above that.

Regardless, you can't take another 7 figures job in secret. Stuff gets known fast

If you double dip, companies will think you are time stealing and fire you with cause. This will affect your ability to get future jobs, including desirable ones….

Is there some secret database where this HR information is stored and shared across all companies? What if I just left that off my resume? Yea, I think that would suffice.

Background checks can show this, and there is some new thing from equifax or experian that I looked at that tracks your work history. You can turn it off though.

Do you… do you think payroll information is private? My man it’s reported to the irs.

If you get fired for it, the new company will likely call your last employer… I suppose if you leave your last employer off, maybe you could get away with it. But why bother?
