But those payments never materialized, according to the lawsuit, which accuses Twitter of breach of contract.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Twitter, also known as X Corp, no longer has a media relations office. It responded to a request for comment on the lawsuit with a poop emoji.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Schobinger\u2019s lawyer, Shannon Liss-Riordan, represents ex-Twitter workers in several other lawsuits and about 2,000 individual arbitration cases stemming from mass layoffs ordered by Musk last year.<\/p>\n<p><nonfly class=\"article_mad\" adunit=\"NW18_ENG_Desktop\/NW18_ENG_Tech\/NW18_ENG_Tech_AS\/NW18_ENG_TECH_AS_ROS_MID_728\" slotid=\"nw18-dynamic-div-8140825_4_9\" id=\"new_ad_5\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Twitter in those cases is accused of failing to pay promised severance and targeting female employees and workers with disabilities for layoffs, among other claims. The company has denied wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Many landlords, vendors and consultants have also sued Twitter over unpaid bills, some of which Musk inherited when he bought the company.<\/p>\n<p><videocarousel\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Twitter is also being sued in Delaware by three former executives including ex-CEO Parag Agrawal who say it reneged on obligations to reimburse more than $1 million in legal fees they incurred responding to requests from government regulators.<\/p>\n<p><i class=\"disclaimer-content\">(This story has not been edited by News18 staff and is published from a syndicated news agency feed &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>)<\/i> <\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1647035624 authorBox21 article_author\">\n<div class=\"jsx-1647035624 author_box\">\n<div class=\"author_box_inner\">\n<div class=\"img_box1 author_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bharat.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=70&amp;height=70\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"text1 author_content\"><a class=\"smalldesc1 author_name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/bharat-upadhyay.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Bharat Upadhyay<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div>Bharat Upadhyay, Senior Sub-Editor at News18 Tech, writes about technology and consumer gadgets.
