Should have taken the $15M. I'm not sure $3M leaves anything for the worker after legal costs.
- harvey9 4y agoAgree. 15m achieves two things: not a lot of money in Tesla terms but enough that it is noticed and would be a motivation to avoid similar claims. And enough after legal costs that the plaintiff never has to work there again.
- tasuki 4y agoI really wonder what was in their mind... I wouldn't take the $15M if: - I were very sure the eventual settlement would be much higher and relatively soon. - I were very wealthy already and just wanted to make a statement. - The legal costs would eat up vast majority of the $15M.
