Musk Gave His Assistant 2week Test When She Asked for a Big Raise
- lathiat 9y agoThis story is false according to Musk, which was widely reported when this first hit back around August http://mashable.com/2017/08/11/elon-musk-fired-assistant-anecdote/ http://mashable.com/2017/08/11/elon-musk-fired-assistant-ane... According to Musk, "Mary Beth was an amazing assistant for over 10 yrs, but as company complexity grew, the role required several specialists vs one generalist." She was given, Musk claims, 52 weeks of salary and stock for her contribution & left to join a small firm, once again as a generalist.

- EgoIncarnate 9y agoMusk: "[Author of story] never actually ran this story by me or my assistant. It is total nonsense." - http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-responds-assistant-story-mary-beth-brown-2-week-test-2017-8 http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-responds-assistant-...
