X formerly known as twitter has finally paid off its Ghanian workforce after being sacked in November 2022
According to the agency representing them, most of the staff had only been in the job at X African headquarters, based in Ghana’s capital, Accra, for a few months when the social media platform fired them.
The agency said it has been providing legal representation for the staff since then and has successfully gotten the staff redundancy settlement and repatriation expenses, although no specification on the amount received.
“They are very pleased to finally be able to get their due, put this behind them and look to the future,” The Agency said
According to foreign media, the staff said being sacked by X affected their mental health and their finances.
They said they were informed about the contracts termination and payment to work for one more month but they were immediately locked out of their emails and no further salary payments were made.
X is yet to comment on the development but it has previously said it has paid ex-employees in full.
