After Elon Musk's takeover, Twitter has finally paid severance to its former African team based in Accra, according to their lawyer, Carla Olympio. The team faced layoffs, and severance offers were reportedly extended only after CNN brought attention to the situation.
Olympio emphasized the necessity for multinational corporations to adhere to Ghana's laws while operating within its borders. She labeled this development as an "important win," signaling the importance of holding companies accountable for their legal obligations in the regions where they conduct business.
This incident sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced by employees during corporate transitions and underscores the role of media in bringing forth awareness and ensuring fair treatment in employment matters.
