An engineer is suing Twitter due to a u-turn on remote work instituted by Elon Musk in one of his first moves after he purchased the embattled company.
Dmitry Borodaenko, the plaintiff who filed the class action suit in a San Francisco federal court on Wednesday, said in the complaint that his disability prevents him from working in the office. He claimed that the company had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and the California Fair Housing and Employment Act after he was promised that he could continue working remotely as Musk sought to purchase the company.
After Musk’s purchase, he has whittled down the company’s staff from some 7,500 employees to 3,000 employees as of Thursday. Employees who have stayed on have reported working over 80-hour weeks and sleeping at the office. Musk has encouraged workers to be “extremely hardcore” going forward.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
