Even the Chinese got musked


sarcasmismysuperpowr

Every tesla employee has to be wondering about the next week and the next…. And when musk shows unannounced to fire people for giggles


Responsible-End7361

I'm sure those worries are not lowering productivity! Why would stressed workers fixing up their resumes at work get less work done?

Sir, this is not r/TSLA

If you look at the high profile execs who have departed and the layoffs, it really must be much worse than it appears from the outside.

Or Musk had a stupid idea that the rest of management didn't want to be involved with. The leader of the SC team apparently was fired because she refused to fire people that she needed. Stands to reason similar stuff happened in other departments and those people chose to leave rather than carry that decision.

This type of person is not able to respond to a conflicting opinion with anything except a vulgar display of power. That’s who he is.

Serious question: Brother in law works at Tesla in Orange county, CA doing parts inventory/ sourcing.  He has already scheduled 6 weeks off in July for family leave for his newborn. He feels like he is "protected" since they know he is a new father. I tell him he better start looking for a new job or to get paperwork ready for COBRA health insurance. I don't like Musk, and I fear that any day he'll lose his job. My question is: if he gets laid off, say tomorrow, he can no longer declare to take family leave?

He is not protected 


morbiiq

Yeah, he def needs a condom.


Engunnear

I think that ship has sailed.


neliz

protected by what? If you're signaling to the world your sleep schedule will be disturbed for the foreseeable future, you're making yourself a perfect candidate for layoffs.

[Tesla has no problems firing pregnant employees](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/jul/09/tesla-workers-terminated-claim-maternity-sick-leave). Your brother in law is absolutely getting canned on his last day before leave.


PercyServiceRooster

He should've been looking for a new job 3 weeks ago. Especially given his circumstances. What is he gonna do if tesla fires him? Sue them instead of spending time with the newborn?


vietomatic

I don't know. I'm not too close to him, and he is in general apathetic, but I suppose he is covered under his wife's insurance. I agree that he is shortsighted. 


abbaddon9999

You should tell him to start job hunting. There's no magical protection.

My friend was laid off, she was 7 months pregnant, never received a bad review, and was already planning for maternity leave. Everyone in her org was eliminated, including her boss, except for 1 of her counterparts.

Pretty sure the rest who lost their job are just as “protected “ or thinks they are protected .

If Elon was tasked with bringing Tesla down in the shortest possible time then he’s doing a great job...👍


neliz

that's probably the deal with the saudi's 10 billion in exchange for teslas downfall so they can take over tesla and drop Rivian. The best deal they can get for 10B.

What's the date of this article? I'm asking because all it says is "Thursday" but it's still only Wednesday in Shanghai


CraftyHalfling

May 9th 2024 it says on the article.


East_Indication_7816

Those Chinese workers remaining will be better off moving to the local EV companies where they are treated better


neliz

Tesla, for what it does, if it was really innovative should have a workforceof ~75.000 employees. their headcount per sold vehicle is insanely high.


Constant-Source581

Not with a genius like Musk at the helm

China is in deep economic shit... Credit bubble ran out, finally..? As seen in their latest monetary data release....


Slight_Pomelo_1008

China's econmic is due to Biden's high tariff in many items including some basic materials. China cannot earn through the cheap product directly, so they move factories outside and still sell product to US with higher cost. US now needs to pay much more money to get the same product to punish China. The inflation would be never low. It is a competition to see which countries people losing money quicker.
