However, when the bonuses were due to be paid in the first quarter of 2023, Twitter failed to make the payments to employees who were still with the company at that time.

Schobinger, who previously served as Twitter's senior director of compensation, claims that he relied on the promised bonuses and turned down other job opportunities as a result. The plaintiffs' attorney, Shannon Liss-Riordan, estimates that around a couple of thousand employees would have been eligible for the bonuses.
