I’ve been with a bunch of smaller companies and have seen layoffs as well as been laid off before/during and after mergers.
Not sure why this should be surprising in the case of Tesla + Solar City.
- jonathankoren 9y agoBecause the purported reason for the firings don't add up. Usually in a merger, the combined company simply says what everyone already knows, there's redundancies.
- mhermher 9y agoIt's mostly of note precisely because they are not layoffs according to Tesla. They were full on fired with cause. It's strange to say the least. What would trigger a mass firing like that. It's unusual.
- city41 9y agoI'm a SolarCity customer and absolutely despise them. Their customer service makes Comcast look like a saint. I can't help but cross my fingers this is a sign Tesla might be doing something about it. But I'm not getting too hopeful.
- sgc 9y agoI had them come by for a quote. I never bothered to put their numbers in to compare to other offers because it was a terrible experience. I have no idea if they are even working on changing that, or just pivoting to industrial installations.
