Il tribunale francese regola le e -mail di Musk all’ex dipendente di Twitter costituisce molestie sul posto di lavoro

> […] She received an email in her personal inbox informing her that her position was threatened by the cost-cutting plan decided by the new CEO [Musk]. She then received, like all the group’s employees, a series of “threatening emails” signed by Musk, sometimes in the middle of the night in Paris time, as stated in the court ruling.
>
> These messages notably demanded employees to commit to doubling their efforts, with several requiring a response within 24 hours under threat of dismissal. In some cases, access to Twitter’s internal tools was even necessary to respond; on maternity leave without access to her work computer, Ms. G. had to contact the human resources department to do so.
>
> […] The Court of Appeal went significantly further than the [original] labor court’s decision. It confirmed the unfair dismissal of Ms. G., while also recognizing that the treatment she received indeed constituted moral harassment. The judges determined that she provided evidence of “successive and tangible pressures” linked to the emails signed by Musk, which, combined with other demands and sick leave for “anxiety,” “suggest the existence of moral harassment against her.”
>
> While several points raised by Ms. G. are specific to her situation, the court’s conclusions highlight that several messages sent by Musk to all employees are, in themselves, unacceptable under French law.
>
> The short deadline given to employees to respond and the tone of these messages do not conform to normal practices, the Court of Appeal ruled. For instance, while Ms. G.’s employment contract typically includes a confidentiality obligation, “nothing justifies the email of December 10, 2022, sent to the employee, promising her ‘the response she deserves’ if she sends ‘detailed information to the media’ with the intent to harm Twitter, and soliciting her again to confirm her confidentiality commitment,” the judges wrote. The court awarded €7,000 to Ms. G. in compensation for this harassment.

> “We rarely see such a blatant disregard for French law and procedures,” said Ms. G.’s lawyer, Julien Damiano, from the Greenwich law firm
