Tesla Employees Thought They Were Being Transferred, But When Clocking In To Work, It Didn't Work 

Trust me, most saw it coming. They keep lots of the great wirkers

They got rid of the low performers, I don't want them working on a car I might drive, also I don't want them to have a few weeks to do an even worse job attaching *or not* bolts.

That’s a good way. It would be hard to sit down 10% of their workforce all at once.

severance bad as well, I heard. this is why people join unions.

Are there no notice periods in the USA? In Germany, the normal notice period is 3 months, and in many cases it is longer.

They didn't give notice so personal can't take trade secrets with them, people had a habit of doing that to Tesla before, sooo...🤷🏿‍♂️🤨

USA Tesla manufacturing quality at the legendary Fremont factory has been appalling since the beginning. Not even Toyota was able to change it succesfully and eventually left it too. It's the human capital to some degree but Elon made wrong decissions and choices too

In the USA it's normal not to give notice if you're being laid off or fired for cause. Employers worry about disgruntled employees lashing out at in the workplace or other employees

What is the easiest thing to do to reduce costs in a company of that size? Lay off staff, especially if the cost of the layoff is virtually non-existent. Tesla's famous truck is proving to be a headache, even though they say there is a waiting list for delivery. Tesla has stock to cumulative of hundreds of undelivered units, there is no clear explanation why. A couple of weeks ago, two key Tesla executives resigned, which makes me think there is more going on inside Tesla.

Quick hint, anytime someone calls Tesla a “car company”, just realize they don’t know anything about Tesla.

I am sure thier severance packages will take care of them just fine

the personal situation for the laidoffs is one bad point, the other is that those who have a good skill and a little bit of pride, will NOT go back to Tesla once they need again people ( may be they go to the competition and implement here what they have learned at Tesla...). A time reduction for all workers to keep everyone on board and give retraining to "use" this workers in new functions would have been much better. Elon makes the situation even worse: People with a social side will NOT by a Tesla after the company did this move.

Tesla is in a lot of trouble - horrible trouble. Elon got the company into this mess and I doubt he has the skills to get the company out of this mess. BEVs are dead worldwide Elon has know this for a year now BEVs ran out of "Early adopters" like me the mass of potential customers left want nothing to do with range and charging anxiety, which plaques BEVs Toyota is now the front-runner in the hybrid market and that's what the mass of folks want - just get in the car and go Since Elon put ALL his eggs in the BEV basket and has no backup hybrid to sell Elon has to fire more employees and close plants and sell them for cash Maybe Toyota will buy one to make hybrids out of and to top it off Elon wants $55 billion to take TSLA from a $400/share stock down to $100/share and now it has crawled back $60 Heck I'd do that for just $1 Billion This is only going to get worse for TSLA of which I am a stockholder Yes, I'm a pissed-off Tesla Model Y owner and stockholder in TSLA

Someone needs to buy the 1960's 70's Ford or Chevy design and start making them again. Simple, cheap to make, reliable

Give someone 2 weeks notice of being fired? Let them sift through files for two weeks and spread bad feelings around the workplace. This is one of the most ridiculous comments I’ve ever heard. Truly an exceptionally ignorant opinion from someone that has clearly never employed anyone.

Shame…that’s so out of character!

This is such a low act imo. This is why we need Unions to negotiate agreements to protect workers. We got about 4 months of notice when our site was shut down by the corporate toecutters and I was paid about 120k for their efforts. Others got more.

Never give up ❤Elon musk ❤

Do elon musk care about peoples got layoff ? Yes only himself

Old news

After these thousands of layoffs Tesla fanboys are not going to be laughing that much at Xiaomi EV's.

Cry GM Ford and Stellantis laid off 1000s more😂😂
