Tesla layoffs: Employees say they received news in an overnight email 

China passed Tesla in its ev exports but wow what a way to let employees know - unacceptable

I like the truck. Not Elon.

I do so do many many others

Do you remember that General Motors car or truck that was Square they called it the thing

@@KingTemplarDragonI like Elon but I don’t like the wannabe truck

UNIONS = Corrupt.

Exactly

If they got a union Ciber truck will cost 200 thousand bucks.

It's called business. This is wartime and inflation time. Sucks, but you have to do it

Why companies relocate to States in the South. They're great with example no state tax but the flip side like Texas is a right to work State. So they can close up shop with little or no notice.

I’m trying to understand your reasoning, please explain.

​@@Polemic-2525 Because they don't give their employees any notice.

I'm with you. The previous employer was such an a hole. I was so pissed off that I quit. I did it on Saturday so that gave them 2 days to find replacement 😂 For the record, the employer planned on cutting my hours to 4 just so I quit on my own but then changed mind since other employees were fired.

@@Polemic-2525 These people are Millennials and GenZr’s. They walk in the wrong side of the sidewalk, they believe what they hear, don’t read or investigate and a dog that wags it’s tail has more manners than they possess. What do you expect? Their parents didn’t hold them to their grandparent’s standards.

The reason you can't give land off workers notice is very simple. SABOTAGE ! Disgruntled employees would destroy the company .

Austin is a blue city, so expect it to have blue city problems.

@@midcenturymodern9330 I’m living in Austin for over twenty years now and it’s always been a little crazy but lately it’s become looney town lol

@@midcenturymodern9330 Austin is a super red city.

Yeah, China passed Tesla a couple of months ago in its ev exports

I have 20 cyber trucks lol

lets be real, almost all trucks now are 6 figures....

@@coreytrevor3910 yeah I would definitely agree with that like I would love a truck, but gas prices are ridiculous

@@coreytrevor3910 no, 1500's are between $50,000 and 80-90,000. But good ones can be had in the upper 50's or lower 60's. Crazy prices for sure but not $100,000. Those are rare and really luxury trucks for show.

Union members are also laid off. I worked at a GM plant, in Michigan and was a member of the UAW , yet experienced several layoff, until I was permanently discharged. Eventually GM closed every plant in the city.

oh please - unions are a disgrace. These workers deserve ZERO. its a free market. Don't like it, move to another country. These workers were the lowest 10% when it comes to performance. Nothing wrong with getting rid of low performers.

You should kick Tesla out of your country because musk is a scam king

@@user-zv7jq7hq1p I have been in supervision role on several union jobs and it’s hard to get rid of low performers. They run the ship into the ground and still complain

Why comment?

yet here you are......

And you saying that you won’t doesn’t do anything. You’re here commenting

why you watch video and make comment

yet you are here

Be honest, did you see good decisions being made there on a day to day basis?

They will call you back pls don't fret it just take a sabbatical present like millions ahead of you over this Bidenomics Fascism for 3+ years..

The problem with Biden admin is they trusted the Big Guys and ridiculed the hard working small business owners just to buy their crony Pharma jabs and that's it

Like I said before employees and a big company or just numbers, they do not care about you your family your problems You’re just a number

@@armanhadi777 working at a service center in Santa Clara California I did. Great team, management did a great job locally, and 99.5% of customers were great as well to talk to and help at their homes. I worked repairing and maintaining the current customer base. Obviously our economy is taking a turn so less new things in general are purchased with increased struggle as a whole. I just don't understand all the efforts put into investing in training me and making me good at my job. Seems like the time and investment was already made to make me optimal. They currently need more techs, so personally I don't understand the reasoning. The current customer base already exists, and cars need to be repaired. I'm sure they will hire more and train them. Tesla is a good company with amazing products, that I fully support. I'm just bummed not to be involved now. I also made investments to continue growth within the company. Don't get me wrong, I believe in the company. I love cars and the tech skills involved with the vehicles. I only can talk about a smaller local portion to my community. They did end up sending me a severance package for 2 months of pay, and medical coverage. My management said they would like to have me back as well. Overall there must have been reasons beyond my understanding. I already found another job opportunity so ehh life goes on.

Cybertruck , outsold RIVIAN, Silverado EV and Lightning.

@@markplott4820 yea so, it’s still a piece of ugly crap.

​@@markplott4820Either stop drinking or stop lying. Both are unnecessary unless you're Elon or a bot.

That Cyberthing has tainted the brand. I used to like Tesla.

@@davidr208 yup same here, but my dislike of Tesla goes way bad to when I heard how he stole the company from the Orginal owner/inventor and how Elon has ruined Twitter (in the name of free speech. lol) and played politics in the Ukraine siding with Russia on turning off starlink to the Ukraine.

I won't ever buy a new car period!

I never buy a new car.I have jeep cheroke.1996.4.0.overhault,cuttlas supreme 103 000 miles,brand new paint and Lancer 2011.with.300 000.miles.brand new motor. Am 63. I do need buy a electric car..

Bud the economy is crumbling. Bidenomics is destroying America intentionally.

Actually, China passed Tesla in ev exports just a couple of months ago. Musk needs to concentrate on Tesla instead of X

A lot of people are gonna remember those employees getting laid off at May. Just boycott Tesla.

@@charlesbroderick5030 so you want even more Tesla employees laid off?

@@rbfarrell1 no your right.. just sucks for those people and everyone is struggling in this Biden economy

You know the people at Tesla can’t handle the construction jobs! 😂

@@luckyduck2022 👍

Only bots buy EVs. IQ < 60.

MAGA = common sense?

TOYOTA sells the LEST BEV in the World. Tesla model Y #1 in CAR sales.

I’ve got a 2010 Prius and love it. 130,000 miles on it and the only thing I’ve done is tires, oil changes and one set of brakes. All at 50 mpg. Hybrids are the way to go when done right.

@@hammer-r - BEV , you never change OIL, Sparkplugs, or BRAKES. BEV are LOWEST cost per mile Vehicles.

I think RU-vid is slowly starting to nerf quality so that they can put it all behind yet another paywall

they Dont have Starlink.

you seem to have a whole other concern altogether

This should be standard. Most people watching news online just want the content to play/buffer properly. 720p ensures that.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you and your team find a better job than Tesla.

I bet it was nice experience! My ancestors had to fight for food with stones and sticks, so let's continue doing that? Sometimes I wonder... do ppl have no concept of progress? Do you ask questions? Let's think for a sec, why Elmo was fighting against unions? spoiler: If something like that happened to ~40k unionized workers Elmo would've been bankrupt on the spot. Also he promised that workers would receive portion of the stocks after x days/years working and a lot of these workers would not see these money because they "left" too soon.

​@inarisound This. Elon is disgusting and so are all the souless pricks in here saying this kind of behavior is fine. Those weren't layoffs. They were terminations called layoffs for media spin.

thats called lack of trust of employees, not too good a thing

Even if that is true, a 3am email is unacceptable

If you don’t want disgruntled employees, don’t try fast ones

When I got laid off of my graphic design job at a big manufacturing company, I was notified with no warning of being laid off. I was asked to come into my supervisor office and got the bad news. Signed some paperwork and given a box to pack up my personal things from my desk and told I would be watched on camera while I did this. That’s it. So impersonal. That’s just how it’s done.

Yep. And currently Tesla is not alone. Major layoffs were announced a few months ago by GM and Stellantis. But that was rarely covered by our national propaganda media. Musk? Oh boy, what a horrible man and bad company laying off people! 🙄

Cant give a notice when laying off employees. Disgruntled employees would sabotage the company.

@@MR-xc3sw Maybe they should.

@@dr.emilyacevedo812 that would hurt everyone still employed so very selfish idea. But that is exactly why companies can not give notice.

I agree.

All companies are the same. They don’t give advanced notice. Tesla is no different. Don’t like Tesla, you don’t have to work there.

@@sz5263 Thanks for the great advice 👍

I don't know, 60 days pay plus a severance sounds pretty human to me.

This is a weird comment. I have been laid off several times, and I have never gotten a deal as good as they got. Tesla sounds like a great company to get laid off from...lol

go live in GAZA.

Yep, Tesla would have known for quite a while that they were going to fire a whole bunch of the workforce. It’s just the employees that weren’t told beforehand. It’s like when a chick ends up leaving a dude. The clueless guy thinks his girl broke up with him “out of the blue”, yet most of the time the girl got all her ducks in a row and was preparing and laying the groundwork for the breakup a long time in advance, only pulling the trigger when she was good and ready!

@@jermaineayivoh8263 Perfect comparison.❤

@@thebastardgift Cheers mate.

goes both ways -- worker leave firms every day. Telsa rocks! dropped their lowest performers

but it rusts!

Its creepy.

Did he mention NO MONEY that were promised in stocks by Elmo?

​@inarisound that's why it's important to read what you sign

That severance doesn't offset what Tesla is saving by not letting their employees keep any of their stocks that aren't vested and that takes years. It's part of the sign-on "bonus" employees are lured in with. Tesla doesn't do anything in good faith and Elon is going to regret laying off all those trained employees. I hope the damn company folds. It's everything that's wrong in American big business right now. You don't pull the rug out from under people.

@@bflkurby1 When they were hired it was promised that significant portion of their income would come from stocks that they would get after 'x' amount of years/months of work... I grantee ppl who were hired on these position could "read what they sign" better than you and me. These people lost their jobs involuntarily.

​@@inarisound why you hates so much elon musk ? Do you know the only car maker that in the usa really do it in the usa and sell in usa is the tesla ?😅

The Big Three have collectively laid off over 5,000 since the UAW contract was signed late 2023. More will come. Will you have the same outrage? Or do you selectively feign outrage based on bias and inaccurate information?

The stock is way down too.

Billionaires never get a taste of their own medicine, or consequences for their actions. That's one of their perks for being wealthy. He can afford almas caviar, mansions, etc... for many lifetimes, while our so called "representatives" explain to us that "trickle down economics" is good.

@@gedeo Lookup "list of billionaires that went broke"... I see Elmo same as Elizabeth Holmes, everything and anything for the profit margins... he will go down as some point... but it would be nice to see it sooner then later

@@inarisound14? out of 2,700? The system is rigged to favor them! But yes, it would be nice.

@@gedeo I agree, it's not enough... most were bailed out, but still, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. That is exactly what Elmo was doing with Tesla, Twitter and other companies that everyone somehow forgot about...

​@@gedeoall it takes is a few bad decisions over a couple years and all that billionaire money becomes nothing but useless paper with no value. When that happens we're all poor and it becomes survival of the fittest.

It looks like something in a Robo Cop movie.

Totally agree

It looks like something a 4-year old would design after he accidentally overdosed on the cough syrup. Fugly!

There is a very good reason for not giving a notice when laying off workers .

@MR-xc3sw they could announce a laid-off qith co Company. So workers could be prepared. If it is just one individual, then maybe giving a notice is not a good idea.

Gotta be a victim today, remember?

Because it's not going to be a lay-off. Tesla is going UNDER. BIG TIME. EVERYONE here in Texas knows it!

@@sparkysmom7149 lol well that's simply not true. Tesla might fail on some products but a lot of their tech has uses in way more than EVs. Gotta stop buying into the TX oil moguls' BS. It's all a con on both sides to trick people into buying and selling stock.

Facts. Severance for line workers at Tesla were at the same level as engineers at Google and other orgs (relatively speaking)… also in a low regulation state. Doesn’t feel great but they’ll land on their feet.

LOL

I always check my email before as I get ready for work. Its good practice.

@@dr.emilyacevedo812 I don't ever have time. I would have 10 minutes to get ready and be out the door

actually, PD are considering it.

Ugliest car ever made. The Pontiac Aztek and Buick Rendezvous personally thank him for stealing that status.

maybe but they finally fired an executive this time, usually nothing happens to them despite these problems being their fault

@@michelep9477no. He stepped down

Model Y is currently the best selling car model in the world.

​@@user-vx7vi3vq1cThere's plenty of stupid people in the world to buy them .

@@user-vx7vi3vq1c No it isn't. They count the Model Y and Model 3 together. And those are Tesla's own numbers so are they the truth?
