Some of this seems like they're trying to find criticism where it's barely warranted. When are you supposed to notify someone of a meeting in which they'll be fired? Too late and it seems like it's last minute. Too soon and they might anxiously stew on it for a week.
Not enough indication of what the meeting is about, and they'll be surprised. Give them too much indication and their anxiety will balloon.
I've been on the receiving end of this as an employer in a really small business. e.g., a keystone employee was leaving and with awkward timing. There's no brilliant way to do it.
- everdev 8y agoExactly. As an employer, I don't want to pay (or demean) someone by telling them to report to a job they know they will lose and have no chance to save. A severance is supposed to ease the transition, but you don't want disgruntled employees in your office.
- majewsky 8y agoWhat about this part? > A third employee, an engineer who still works at Tesla and asked not to be identified by name, said he discovered his manager had been fired after the manager didn't show up for a meeting on Tuesday. When a colleague of his attempted to email the manager, the email bounced back. Seems very odd not to notify employees when their manager gets fired.
- prawn 8y agoWhat day were they fired? Given that's one case, could it have been overlooked by another manager or by HR dealing with bigger fallout? Are these types of stories written for every round of layoffs at every other automotive company? It strikes me that the media is quick to find drama when it's Tesla.
