X ordered to pay $600K to fired employee who didn’t click ‘yes’ on email ultimatum

Remember when Elon Musk ordered Twitter staff two years ago to “click yes” in an email to promise to work in “extremely hardcore” mode or risk losing their jobs? One of those employees who didn’t click “yes” just won a major ruling, according to the Irish news service RTÉ.

Ireland’s Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ruled that Gary Rooney, a former senior executive for the company known then as Twitter, was unfairly terminated when he refused to agree to Musk’s email ultimatum in 2022 after nine years with the social media company. The commission also ordered X to pay Rooney €550,000 (roughly $605,000).
