Just out of curiosity, what anecdotal experience are you basing this on?
Punitive damages being awarded is a rare occurrence in my experience, at least in Alberta anyways.
Dealing with this issue with outside legal counsel that are specialized in these matters. I am not a lawyer.
Message across multiple HR-specialized law firms was "if you screw around and go to court and you've only offered legal minimum, then the judge may give this person 2 or more months severance per year of service vs. you could have settled on 1 month per year of service and been done with this."
I've been through a half dozen of these, though thankfully never went to trial. But numbers between legal minimum vs. 1 month/year are big, as are 1 months vs. 2 or more months per year. Especially when you're talking senior management / CEO with 10 to 20+ years in the company.

In my experience I can back up that this is exactly how it plays out. Paying out 1 mo/year is pretty standard for Mgmt/Admin/Ops+ if you want to settle quickly.

I see what you’re saying now. I had originally inferred from your previous message that you suggesting they were being awarded punitive damages in addition to their awarded severance. The laws only set minimums not maximums for severance so a judge would have a lot of discretion as to what they award a plaintiff and yes as is the case with most lawsuits if one party is blatantly playing silly bugger then the judge is likely to hold that against them when making their decision. Which is why most companies aren’t stupid enough to offer nothing.
Finally had enough and decided to delete my twitter account. Wait can't even do that.

I wonder if in the history of deleting peoples Twitter accounts the person didn’t post to announce it on another site or social network.

I think it's a fair enoguh post in this thread to say you tried to quit Twitter, and couldn't even do that. It's a sign Musk is desperately trying to hang on to user numbers, or that the site is so broken you can't even quit anymore. Either option is pretty pathetic.
It's information, not just signalling. In short, fake outrage denied.
