If this is true.. then all those people that were let go now have a lot more ammo to use in court. Basically they publicly discussed their termination strategy of making up reasons to fire people.
They are at-will employees. Their employer can fire them for any reason as long as it is not for an illegal reason.
Firing even 100% of your employees, just because you “don’t like their vibe”, is not illegal. Just make sure they get their required notice and wages depending on company size before firing.
If anything, the leaked public discussions provide proof that employees weren’t fired for an illegal reason.
Well, if you ignore the fact that 7000+ people would suffer.
In some (many?) countries it is in fact illegal.
