For those who haven't clicked through to this piece (or the many others running today), we are not just talking about high-paid engineers. Tesla laid off hourly factory workers with only one week notice, citing "performance reasons" despite not having given any performance warning in most cases. Seems to be a pretty flagrant case of disguising layoffs as performance-related firings.
The best part: apparently, to get the one-week "severance," they have to sign releases.
At this point, is anyone really surprised?
- bamboozled 4y agoI’m not surprised because it’s easy to be such a highly valued company when you’ve cut a hell of a lot of corners!
- givemeethekeys 4y agoThis is incredible to me. I'd love for someone to articulate what their thought process was to lay off in such a manner. 1. The 1 week severance is a negative incentive to signing anything at all. 2. Providing any reason other than, "thank you for your service" is asking for a lawsuit, especially when the severance is so weak. What were they actually thinking?
