    Isn’t this just straight-up bad for the company? Doesn’t refusing to participate in arbitration open them up to lawsuits instead, which are more expensive and less favorable to the company?

      They are just trying to delay as long as they can until they run out of money and shut it down.

    Then every single case should default to judgment against Twitter and in favor of the employee.

    What a fucking scumbag.

    I hope this fucking clown-house leads to laws being passed protecting workers from this kind of shit in the future.

    For real, this deep-fried dumpster fuck needs to leave the planet.

    I assume California has harsher penalties for failing to arbitrate?

    Just when you thought this company couldn’t stoop any lower with their BS, they manage to sink further with something worse.
