- It's not mass firing. It's not even 4% of the workforce.
- So, employees were "surprised". As most people who are fired, ever, in any company and epoch. How is this news at all?
- Recalling 11,000 units might not at all be connected with layoffs. Implying otherwise is a cheap yellow press journalism.
- "Citing fears of retaliation from Tesla". Yeah, because Tesla definitely is known for pursuing people like they're some kind of a cold-war era vengeful spy agency. Sure.
- Some layoffs came 2 weeks early. Wow. Scandalous!
- Somebody made the mistake of over-stating how much personnel a new office is gonna have. Surely, this is news-worthy, right?
- Exact number of people laid off is unknown so hey, I have a genius idea, let's listen to the former employees who are now negatively biased against the company. I mean, they can't be wrong, could they?
And then the company tries to minimize the chance of former employees suing them. That's relatively normal if somewhat scummy, sadly it's a pretty classic state of affairs. Hardly exclusive to Tesla, though.
This "tech reporter" would do well to work with paparazzi. It'll match her journalistic expertise.
If the unemployment rate increased 3.6% tomorrow, I guess you wouldn't think it's a big deal, right? After all, it's not even 4%! The lack of sympathy people show these days. Sheesh.
People lose jobs every day. Happened to me 20+ times in the last 10 years and was hard. I don't see value in comments like yours saying "you need to be more compassionate". What you are missing is that I am -- but that doesn't help anybody.
And, again, the article was of extremely low quality and it seemed to have been pushing an agenda.
Most employees aren't surprised when they're fired.
Thats indicative of terrible management.
In a healthy organization managers let individual contributors know when they're falling behind, and give them the opportunity and guidance to get on track.
