Watching a CEO get fucked by using AI is orgasmic.

The CEO will be fine at the end of the day.

The workers are going to get fucked, though.

Yeah. These illegal firings happened around 9 months ago. I doubt these guys had the funds to just sit on the sidelines, doing nothing, hoping that the court would rule in their favour. Even if they're offered their jobs back, it could be that by now they've made other commitments.

At the moment this is a win for the workers. They should get their full share of the payout, now. The main danger is now their parent company may be hostile to them (or even try to close them) until the parent company CEO gets replaced.

until the parent company CEO gets replaced.

One would hope pulling such a boneheaded move ought to make that happen rather quickly.

Of course, if this CEO has been there for more than a year or 2, he would probably get a golden parachute for more than the value of his fuckup...
