Comment on Twitter violated contract by failing to pay millions in bonuses, US judge rules
hpca01@programming.dev 10 months agoTwitter’s lawyers argued that the company made only an oral promise that was not a contract, and that Texas law should govern the case, according to Courthouse News, which first reported the ruling.
Are you shitting me? They argued that it was a fucking lie so they shouldn’t be charged? Also no one gives a shit if you’re a Texan company…But you’re doing business in California with California residents, you have to follow California rules. Else don’t do any business in California.
Can’t fucking believe that not honoring an employment contract is not a fucking violation in Texas…Go figure.

Did they honestly try to argue that oral contracts are not binding? I mean it’s easy to pretend they didn’t happen, but if you admit you said it then it’s a contract.
