Shennan Lu, a former data science manager at Twitter, was one of the thousands of workers who were caught off guard last week as Musk began slashing jobs.

She claimed that there was discrimination involved as her performance was in the top third of the company, but Musk decided to keep other poorer performing less pregnant male managers in place.

Lu added. “See you in the court.”

Her Twitter account was closed after the posts and there is no indication why that might be the case.

One person who read them pointed out that it was stories like this that has advertisers fleeing Twitter.

“No outside pressure groups required,” he wrote.

Lu began working at Twitter last January. Prior to joining the company, she held similar roles at Facebook parent Meta and Comcast.

She is not the only pregnant woman that Musk has fired. Rachel Bonn, a former marketing manager at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, said she lost laptop access and was laid off despite being eight months pregnant.

A group of impacted Twitter employees has filed suit against the company, alleging Musk’s team failed to provide adequate notice before implementing the layoffs.

Musk has argued that he had no choice but to make cuts due to Twitter’s precarious financial situation.

Musk tweeted. “Everyone exited was offered three months of severance, which is 50 per cent more than legally required.”
