This is why I got a new job and didn't tell my old job until the day of , i started my new job that I wasn't coming in . 2 weeks my butt , my dog is loyal to me that's it .
lucky! some of us work in sectors where there are non competes. so we can't get a job while on the job we have to leave or tell our employer we are applying to a potential competitor.
The employer isn't going to give you 2 weeks notice that you're out of a job!
@@Krobra91Is that even enforceable?
If you put your two weeks in at my job than you automatically get fired.
Facts!!!
My first boss used to say that companies are not charities. I never forgot that.
🍆🍆
What does that mean?
@jdos5643 sorry for your loss.
@@jdos5643 It means they don’t care about you. The company cares about the company.
@@Sunflower_1818 you mean about money.
So many CEOs complain that younger generations lack the same work ethic and respect for employers as past generations.
Companies have always wanted respect and commitment from their workers.
That same commitment and respect is never given back to employees.
Well said 😂😂😂
They want slaves 😂
"NEVER" is a HUGE word!
I'm shocked, just not at the layoffs. I'm shocked these folks actually believed there is a shred of decency left in corporate America. Did they really buy into the "you're a member of the Tesla family " line.
Exactly 🙄
What a messed up way to layoff employees. You don’t find out until you’re trying to clock into work.
How else would you do it?
@@TheoneGodfather A courteous thank you for your service note would help. they used to do that but corps has gotten more radical e.g. no call no show for 2 days, employment at will, zero severance pay! More rights are being taken away from many industry overtime, bad 401k investments that charges you too much management fees and crap growth, expansive health plans that doesn't cover at least 90% of the costs. Woohoo, by age of retirement, if you can make it, you will be probably not going to get what was promised to YOU!
What am trying to say, stop taking things for granted!!!
@@TheoneGodfatherIf you think is ok, you have no soul.
@@ChicanoPhD Perhaps you should have bought one of the trucks to help them out.
@@analienfromouterspace None of that pertains to the original comment that I replied to. They went to work for a failing company. It sucks but maybe you should buy a cyber truck to help them out.
Younger generation, know that no company in America is guaranteed til you retire. The days of working 30 years or more for the same company ended a long time ago. Never put all your eggs in one basket for a company. Have a backup plan
Their still out there, but hard to find. I'm hopeful that I can retire from my job in 20 years with 36 years of service. Benefits, Pension, Wages are top tier for my skilled trade. UAW 4 Life.
@tomf8449 they'll sell the company a few years before the bulk of you and your co workers are due to retire. In the paperwork it will state that they only had to pay you benefits if they keep the company. The new company will offer you half benefits or nothing. You'll take it.
I HAD US MILITARY JOBS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO LAST 4 YRS. SOME LASTED LESS THAN 3 WEEKS!
That’s not necessarily true. A lot of companies and owners do the right thing. But I know what you are saying.
Stay away from Tech and learn a trade!!! Plain and simple! All tech positions are expendable and die away as technology changes.
My dad worked at IBM for exactly 25 years. The very day he went in for his 25th anniversary, they gave him a catalog and said he could choose any item he wanted for his quarter-century of employment, and then told him he was laid off and to clear out his office.
That's terrible!
I’m calling Bullshit lol

People are learning that electric vehicles suck‼️ They leave you stranded in cold weather, catch fire in the summer and trap you if you end up in the water. Yeah I'll keep my gas vehicle forever ‼️
And don’t forget self driving at least some Tesla models are but even then they’re dangerous because sometimes they make terrible decisions such as almost bumping into people or not recognizing certain things on the road. Just like I saw this TH-cam video where he said a self driving tesla was doing such risky things that as he said “was incredible” but all I saw was too much risk that shouldn’t be done he even said he was scared but proud of his Tesla
Pretty sure all the things you listed happens to ice cars as well. 😂

@@barackblows1942 not sure what your point is.
i just but a new EV , not a Tesla . Much much much cheaper and with german engineering. (built in germany not china)
New car purchase is no longer a want , too expensive. Cars prices have ballooned .
So you have free public transportation where you live?
@Chowda41 buying a car was never a want. It is a need. Business always expects you to have “reliable” transportation.
@Chowda41 sure bud we believe you 😂
Bidenomics.
Even though old cars are expensive too.
I just retired. It’s never an easy thing to accept and people do themselves a disservice thinking any job is guaranteed for life.
Yep, you've gotta know that this could happen at any time, especially as an at-will employee. I saw the same thing on a video about Tyson's Chicken laying people off. People in Tennessee saying that they expected to retire from that job and an entire comments section saying, "OMG, that is so screwed up." They don't have an obligation to employ you for life. It's a company, not a charitable institution.
I will say that the way Tesla lays people off is pretty sackless. You find out you're fired because you can't clock in and then you get an e-mail later in the day (should've been sent the night before at least). I don't see how saying how you were fired would violate any NDA but I believe that Elon is enough of an a-hole to sic his lawyers on you and warn other companies to not hire you (a form of retaliation that is illegal but good luck ever proving it). Elon LOVES to flex on employees that can't do anything to him.
lol it just opened
@@mordakie3805
Whoops!
Congrats on your retirement. It’s an accomplishment these days.
@@Skank_and_Gutterboy
It is a charity when it comes to pay Special K Musk though
Unfortunately, companies don't give people a heads up anymore if they're going to soon be laid off. They expect a two week notice if you quit, but won't even let you know you no longer have a job until you drive to work and are unable to clock in. Total bs.
I was self employed for 45 years until I retired. Never worried about a layoff or getting fired.
You just have different worries. Don't front.
I’m worried about if I should go to Greece or Italy for vacation, tough decision. Meh, I’ll do both, cuz I can.
I see, you did the layoffs...
My wife got fired one month and I got laid off the next with two toddlers and less than K2 in my pocket. But we made it with God’s help and determination. People were just like “Well good luck with that”. It’s not the end of the world.
🤌
Having faith and believing , thank god you got through it . gOD bless and keep pushing
Never put all your eggs in one basket.
I was with you at first but sometimes it is the end of the world for some. You just got lucky
As a share holder, if tesla vehicle sales are overall down year over year. I agree that layoffs are justified!.
Most Americans don't want electric cars.
Exactly !
It’s the dumbest thing! I can see the backed up charging stations now.
Sorry to burst your sheltered bubbles, but eventually it'll overtake gas vehicles. And quicker than u think. Imagine 10 years ago - when you saw an electric vehicle, it was a rarity. And most of the times a Tesla. In 10 years the tech evolved to such an extent that some electric cars are now at comparable prices to regular cars.
But something tells me you guys can't process that or even have the brain capacity to imagine the next 10 years. It's ok - some always gets left behind. Or, if you're old and will be dead by the time the world becomes starved for gas, all the more power to you. :D
@@jyc313 Righttttt I guess that’s why China has literal electric car grave yards…. Gotta make them seem like they are catching on….bc they are not! If anything It will be FORCED on us just like social media was. My only question is what “perks” will be waved around to make it the new fad.
@@jyc313 There are many other far more practical ways to keep cars in motion. Electric vehicles overwhelming already stressed grids is not the key! Greed and exploitation is why they push it. Many ways to capitalize for profits. What’s ur excuse for following so ignorantly and blind?
another reason I have NEVER given an employer any notice before leaving
I've done it in the past. I just don't show up the next day.
I’ve always given 2 weeks..except once…went in at 5am..loaded my toolbox and left them with no maintenance man…big bosses went scurrying to back where my toolbox was and found nothing….served them right….terrible place…love my job now…People there have worked there many years…great place…😊😊.
You’re talking about shitty jobs man, working at Tesla is not a shitty job.
@@gleefull2962 lol, yeah, such a "great job"...that is totally subjective and when your employer locks you out you'll be singing a different tune

I worked four 10 hour days. We had a meeting to tell us that we're moving back to five 8 hours days. The meeting was really that we were all going to be laid off.
They sell expensive cars in an absolutely abysmal economy. What did you think would happen
Their cars aren't that expensive compared to other New cars on the market.
And they actually make more money per car than other makers.
Abysmal economy? lol!

Couple weeks ago a recruiter connected me via LinkedIn and then phone invited me to interview for production manager role at Austin Texas. I couldn't attend to the event as I was already at my job. Now I realize I didn't Miss opportunity, I dodged a bullet
You missing that interview was a blessing in disguise
@@hassanmeraj8037 I think you miss my point. I basically said you got lucky to avoid Tesla layoffs.
@@Rivs5117 agreed
They fire the middle of the pack. The ones that are probably being paid a little better than they should be, but are not super critical to anything. They fire two middle of the pack workers and bring in a new guy that doesn't know he's doing double the work.
It's a very dick move on the companies part. The younger generation understands the game. They keep their resume updated and are always open to see what other jobs offer. The companies have no loyalty, so neither does the new generation of workers. Even raises don't keep up with what competitors are willing to pay a new hire. Every couple of years, move up or move on. There is no reward in sticking around.
You millennials and genz are just lazy back in my day we worked hard
My father said when I first started working “put 10% of your paycheck in a special account and never touch it till retirement” writing this from my hammock on the beach here in Costa Rica 🌴😎🌴
Thats good advice however just to live day to day with 3 kids I needed every cent I made just to survive. Enjoy your hammock
Happend to me every 3 to 4 yrs - never count on a job, Employers only care about Money in their pocket - as a worker your nothing more than a Tampon
After this happend to me a few times I started a business on the side and that got me to retire early - no more BS
This is why not having an emergency fund is an emergency. Your employer does not care about you. Make the sacrifices now to save up a 3-6+ month emergency fund so you’re not scrambling to make ends meet later.
Yes, having no credit card debt, Emergency fund, and getting a car that you can afford to pay for in cash. The company doesn't care that you have bills to pay.

I was pretty numb after being laid off after 24 years. Turns out I was lucky to have beat the trend for so long. Still sucks though.
hope you invested in ROTH, 401, mutual funds. I was a hairdresser and never knew if I'd make $200 a day or $8 a day but saved up and invested.
I was also laid off after 26+ years back in September 2021 and now I found a job at a completely different industry as to what I was doing. I actually wanted to quit as management turned toxic and my colleagues told me to wait to get laid off as you will get a severance and I did for a little over a year. Now I heard from the grapevine that they made a mistake but couldn’t do anything and no one wants to work there anymore.
I got laid off in the oil and gas industry because Biden closed down 700,000 jobs for this electric car push, and now even they are suffering because people don't want the damned things.
21 years here. I couldn't believe it. And by some punk manager who knew nothing. It's a real shock to the system almost like a bereavement but you are expected to just suck it up. God damn I was angry.
@@bennewnham4497it's always the know nothing punk managers that pull such sucker moves, then put the entire remaining team in shit as the ones they let go were the real geniuses who ran the show. I'm talking from experience and damn they usually regret the move later but too late
I worked for a company for 12 years. At year 11 I was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment. Before my diagnosis, I was tasked with developing and implementing an office-wide incentive program, and took two weeks off for my surgery and recovery. Upon my return, I continued working on the project and got final approval to roll it out on the first of the next month. I rolled it out and within 4 hours we were told the office would be closing and we were all laid off.
All my work was for nothing.
EVs are a horribly overpromoted idea.
Lack of range / inability to deal with hot climate that kills battery capacity / limited charging infrastructure are all deal breakers.
They work ok for city dwellers who have garage parking with a charge port but what % of the overall market fits that model ?
Maybe less than 10% ?
It’s sad how companies expect 2+ weeks notice, but for employees they don’t get 2 weeks notice.
Not only that they waste his time and fuel driving to work only to not allow him to clock in?
That’s shameful. It’s the equivalent to an employee just doing a no call no show and never coming back to work with no communication.
That is why workers need union.
@@tamhuyphan9842 I had a union at AT&T and the union was pretty useless for me on a small scale. Maybe for stuff like this they’d be better though.
Generally (and likely with this layoff) employees will receive at least 2-weeks pay but will NOT have to show up for working those two weeks. If you ask the employee would they rather keep coming in for 2 weeks and get paid or... would they rather take the severance pay and have free time to LOOK for new employment, which do you think that they would accept? Sometimes the story you hear doesn't include all of the information... Just say'n.
@@larryharvey5818 You may be right, but it seems like they would/should have mentioned that in the news stories.
And regardless of that, 2 weeks notice for an employer is enough time to find another employee but for an employee that is not nearly enough time to fill a large wage gap even if they are hired by another company within 1 day of getting laid off which most people won’t have opportunities lined up like that.
Most jobs pay bi-weekly, and at those jobs you are always 1 week behind on pay. So what ends up happening is the employee who get hired either gets paid for one week after working two weeks or has to work three weeks to get paid for their first two weeks of work. Basically what I’m saying is two weeks notice is fair fir employers but for employees it’s definitely not fair. It doesn’t give them adequate time especially employees and it’s no fault of their own that they’re getting laid off. They’re not getting fired for being bad employees.
@@tamhuyphan9842union workers get laid off also.
Anytime i put in a two weeks notice, i got fired on the spot. Any job i have had, management told me my bills aren't the corporations problem. So why even have a society just for a corporations benefit? Let's just go back to hunting and gathering if you want to do that. We would have a better fighting chance
I was in management and when someone turned in a two week notice I let them go, called HR, got their pay out and took any keys and walked them to their cars. A bad apple spending ten days in the work pool rotting and starting rumors is bad for the whole team.
@@ronoconnor8971That dude dodged a bullet getting out of a place making all those ridiculous assumptions.
@@ronoconnor8971 Hope you get fired the same way with no benefits
@ronoconnor8971 I just leave without notice to stress out shitty managers liek you. I also shoplift and keep any keys
I have given two weeks notice before. I never got fired yet. It depends on the company. I used to just quit burn bridges. I stop doing that years ago.

@@Tom-dz6yo Well, not outright.
But I worked in a company and the management spread a "rumor" that corporate is going to shut it down 3 months prior. We all got new jobs before our notice was up. I remember having 2 months of paid notice without needing to go to the office. New job waiting for that to expire. My wife was totally annoyed by me prancing around the house doing nothing.
Let me explain:
As Im in EU, every employee is due 2 weeks paid notice if he was with the company for more then 2 years and then another week for every year afterwards. up to 2 months.
Also every employee is entitled to 1 months of salary for every year they spend with company.
Also - you can not outright fire ppl. You can either make them "redundant" or need to have a good reason. If you make ppl redundant - you cant hire ppl on to the same or similar spot in several years.
And for all the eager beavers who live to work, grind and hustle... yea, Im not like that. If someone pays me to do nothing, Ill gladly oblige and enjoy life. We own our apartments, have savings and I dont need private jets and / or fancy stuff.
@@Tom-dz6yo My former employer provided two month notice before a lay off occurred. None of what you just said occurred. Stop talking out your, you know what.
@Tom-dz6yo I work for a major Airline , during Covid when everything shut down, they gave us about a month notice that they would need to lay off or take volunteers to go on unemployment not only that they told us the government paid protection pay will only last till Oct, so not everyone company does what Tesla did but for a rule of thumb it is good to assume that any company might do this to anyone
America is becoming like a third world country when it comes to owning cars. That is, only the rich people can afford cars. The monthly car payment is over $600 and, if you live in California, the insurance cost is about $350 per month (we just got 30% increase in premium), not to mention the gas price is about $5.50 per gallon. Owning cars has become so unaffordable. A lot of people are driving very old cars now.
That's what you get when UAW is killing the auto industry wanting more and more pay. Of course this make cars more expensive, so fewer people buy them, so car companies lay off workers. Unions kills competitiveness and drives their own extinction.

No more Loyalty in today's work place! That's why you save your money, because this could happen at any moment!
People need to stop relying on and being loyal to their jobs. You are just a number to executive staff/shareholders. They don’t care how loyal you are, how long you worked there, or how much you know, it’s all about the bottom line. I know this is a pessimistic comment, but it is definitely 100% reality these days with med+ corporations. Always have a plan B, and always network with other colleagues for that inevitable time where you are gonna get laid off or fired for no specific reason.

@@TwoHawksHunting close to $8000.
Almost all of those employees have no real skills, and are very immature. No sympathy for working at a SCAM company.
I've said it before and it's worth mentioning again; if an employer tells you at the interview, "we're like a family here" run, don't walk outta there. Most likely it's a DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY😂
Nobody wants to pay $55K for an electric car. Either lower the price or lay off people.
They have the model 3 available for about $30k or less with the tax credit
It takes about 10k in parts to produce a car at the factory. Just like it takes about 200 dollars to produce an iPhone. So consumers pay many times that
@victorblock3421 so it's costing taxpayers every time Tesla sells a car. That's just not right
@@wasupfool5692it also costs tax payers every time someone puts gas in their car
theyre way more than 55K
People figured out electric cars aren't reliable and fixing them after a minor accident isn't cost effective.
Nobody wants cars, they want *public transportation*
Do you like just making stuff up to fit your biases?
Tesla sales were down, but overall EV sales actually increased by 35%. I have an EV and it's F'ing awesome!
What's actually happening is Tesla is learning that they're not the biggest guy on the block anymore.
@@RedHeaded411A majority of automakers are slowing production of EVs or pulling back investment all together or putting it off for a couple of years. There are over 15 models of EVs from various automakers with over a 300 day supply of EVs. The demand is not there and the EV mandates will be overturned by the Supreme Court eventually.
@@arthurmorgan42069 tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what your talking about.
Again 2023 saw an increased in demand by over 35%. The year before that the increase was 7% from the year before. And they're not pulling back "investment," some are delaying production, but the reasons for this are varied, however, none are because of lack of demand.
Again, stop with the fantasies. EV's are here to stay.
@@RedHeaded411no one thinks EV’s are awesome unless they were never loved by their parents
This happened to me back in November when I worked for a robotaxi support center. I was 4 months pregnant and just got a letter informing me I was laid off with no severance package. I had to make rent, a car payment, and afford food by doing food deliveries and using credit cards. Lucky for me I already had another job lined up. Never again will I work for an autonomous vehicle company no matter how cool it sounds. The goal is to use as little human components as possible so I don’t think it’s gonna be a field where many people will retire from.
Amazon DSP owners get a lot of shit and RIGHTFULLY so. However, the DSP owner I used to work for a few years ago said screw this and told us all a month early that we would be out of a job and man let me tell you he saved a lot of us from the headache of falling behind on bills and rent.
Amazon wanted the owner to tell us during the week of Christmas which would have been our final week working for them.
Point is, you’d expect this type of treatment from a DSP and not from Tesla.
Make cars that people want and can afford… it’s quite simple but very difficult to achieve. Good luck to them.
Their cars are not that expensive anymore. And lots of people want them, that's why they have sold millions in US alone.
if you think their cars are expensive you need a better job or stick to your camrys.....their cars are right up there with the average car price
@@RyansTechReviews29 - who said the average car price is reasonable or affordable for the average person. And $100k for a Cybertruck is a joke. Do your research before you spew crap fanboy.
@@jarvisskooge8602 it’s affordable if the majority people are buying it… or I guess everyone is rich
@@jarvisskooge8602 look at Camrys… they’re well over 30k maybe more if there’s dealership markups.
Don't feel bad, 2000 workers also got laid-off at tha Reno, NV factory, Tesla even had to charter shuttle busses to take people home, Reno aint a booming town no more 😢
It it cheap to rent a place there now?
Reno is still booming. Rent is still too damn high and Mollusk is still getting tax breaks in Nevada!
That’s awful! They expect employees to give a 2 weeks notice but they don’t! So wrong !
This is the entire auto industry in a nutshell, from the assembly plant to the dealership. I knew I was getting laid off from a Toyota dealer I was working at and had already lined up a job at a Subaru dealer with more pay. I eventually left the auto industry and went on to work for a municipality which was the best move.
I feel for layed off workers. They have families with life’s bills to pay. This country is going downhill
This has been happening for hundreds of years around the world! Wake up!!
Sorry, but that has always been quite normal in the US.
We've all been through that. Unless you have an extremely in demand career. This is the new normal.
It’s always been like that with layoffs for obvious reasons. Sadly, there r very few jobs currently. These people r screwed
Thats an elon, tesla problem, not a country problem.. besides tesla, jobs are up
I wouldn't want to hold Testla stock for too long if I were you. This move is a sign of more bad thing to follow.
Yep! I would've sold as soon as Elon started selling his personal shares. He sold off 15 billion dollars worth of personal holdings last year while telling people to keep theirs. Gotta be kidding me, I would've been out right then.
Maybe it is time to buy Bruce? Look up 'dollar-cost averaging'.
Stocks like this are still owned and will continue to be bought over time by the big $ guys Vanguard Group, Blackrock, State Street, and many others.
Don't think Tesla is doomed.
@@its-all-good
Or it winds up being worthless like Theranos stock. I'm betting Door #2 but time will tell.
@@Skank_and_Gutterboy Yea compare a company that actually makes a working product to a company that sold lies and never produced anything.... The mental gymnastics you must have gone through to come up with this conclusion....
@@Skank_and_Gutterboy Totally different business model and Tesla is proven where she sold nothing but lies. Just look on the roads to see they are all over and most who own a Tesla would buy another. The Tesla hate online are from those with low IQ’s.
its not just EVs though the whole car market is messed up. Cars that are worth 40k tops going for 75k +
As the saying goes, “Nothing personal, just business.” There’s no such thing as company loyalty. Profit first and only profit.
Omg somebody with bills just got laid off??? That’s incredible headline news!
Tesla employee. Go figure.
guess elon thinking all those poorly educated were going to buy his cars?
@@firstgopinbredhillbilliesl6100 the merica crowd love their gas,
elon hasnt figured that out yet.
Obviously his first job. 😊
@@Errr717 yup. Ed did you work for DERM?
I got unexpectedly laid off from my oil field job TWICE. Once in 2016 and 2020 when c19 hit. Been working for myself the last 4 years. Id rather put faith in myself vs a corp who will pull the rug from underneith me at moments notice.
What’s a c19?

The oil guys get laid off every year tho. But boy do they LOVE paying 1300/month truck loans.
@@jeremy4600 Point is working for someone else isn't guaranteed income.
This is sad. I have gotten fired on Christmas Eve!!!! I know the feeling
I think its funny how I never got on the news when ever I got laid off. I just powered through it recovered and got a new job LMFAO
I wonder why Toyota keeps running just fine? .......
becuase they sale there cars world wide .. and tesla only in USA
Because they haven’t gone full EV only and are their hedging their bets making EVs, hybrids, diesels and Petrol cars. Plus they’re also spending a lot of money on alternative power to electrical… that’s why they’re successful. Their CEO isn’t an idiot.
@@mushroom_hatter wrong, you can buy teslas in most countries. I see them everyday and I’m in the UK.
Because they're fundamentally very different. Tesla is a big company run like a start up... they don't want to have too many people. Toyota is just a big company and won't do lay offs unless they need too. Tesla isn't doing this because they need to money wise but rather for efficiency sake and that having too many people can slow down the company.
@@mushroom_hatterNo. The biggest market of tesla is china. They sells Most in china.
Explains the bakery order cancellation😮
The bakery incidence wasn't even in Austin. Two different story and two different people.
Explain Ford, GM, and Mexico.
Welcome to Bidenomics.
so you thought elon did the order?
this could have been ANY that placing order ....so happen it was tesla.
plus I say>>>>TAKE a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit
Lol totally unrelated, that store was in San Jose California.
This is why people should have an emergency fund. It is not the company's responsibility to wait for you to find another job. At will employment goes both ways.
Real life is that companies are a business not your friend.
I left manufacturing years ago because of how volatile employment is in that sector.
Was this job his first?? This isn’t shocking to anyone.
It's never shocking until it happens to you.
What's even more shocking is they asked him to go to a different department and if he had chosen not to he probably would have still had his got him laid off
Maybe. He sounds young.
And we wonder why people continue to work for other people.
@@patrickm6012
How can everyone own a business?? Remember there’s 8billion people on the planet
I’m a sales rep. If I’m no longer profitable to the company, I lose my job. It is what it is.
As engineer with friends at tesla I feel this is a huge red flag for anybody wishing to work for them
The employer doesn't Care! They are worried about the stock holders!
Not too many people are buying EVs! They cost too much, and there's no infrastructure! You do the math!!
no cars are selling.
Right....EV's are the solution to a problem that DOESN'T exist!
Don't forget the cost of battery replacement. Sheese, it's astronomical!
They rarely give you notice on a layoff, it comes so sudden. It’s really sad how it all works…
It's usually a blind carbon copy zoom call on a Monday morning. 5 minutes later, you're out.
If you play close enough attention to the very industry you rely on one could see it coming. Tesla dropped prices 4 times in the last 8 months. !!! What comes next people.
Tesla employee salary
in texas $200.000
In china $20.000
In indonesia $10.000
Same job
What's so awful is the total disrespect...you go to work to clock in...can't and recieve an termination email😮! sad..
This inhumane treatment is worst than the "downsizing" trend in the 90's
Those that moved to transfer to a new opening should get together and file a lawsuit.
Yea, this is horrible! The irony is when u interview they want you to pledge your life to them! Tell them how great it would be to be a lowly employee. How u will never leave them!
and the emplee pledges to always be a good worker never late or breaks anything.
Just like marriage lololol
Shocking.
We don’t want EV’s.
Who could have seen this coming?!
Please don’t speak for *us* AND DEFINITELY DON’T SPEAK FOR *ME* !
I want an EV - actually two, when it’s time to replace our ICE’s. But we, like so many others, choose to wait and not buy *any* new car at this time. All new car sales are down. It is a downturn in the whole new car industry and has *zero* to do with which technology.
@@briandeschene8424they have been selling EV’s for over 10 years already what are you waiting for.
210k miles and going strong. but wait didnt ford gm and every other car company just lay off thousands?
@@briandeschene8424same. I will consider it when it no longer makes sense to repair my ice car. But im dream of having a model 3 one day.
@@timg2973Wrong. Js passing by just to say that you are ignorant.
In 1988 a guy i worked with told me that a job is a contract. You tell an employer that you have the skills and experience to do the job you're applying for, and the employer agrees to pay you based on those skills and experience. Nothing in the contract says you will be employed until you retire.
This could never happen in Europe. You can't just fire people. If you do, you owe them 6 months of wages.
It’s a private company not a welfare office. Anytime you go work in the private sector you need to keep this in mind and keep your expectations realistic and have a Plan B.
People need to remember, employment isn't charity. You're there to make the company money, plain and simple.
Sounds like he was let go given his stance of I have a life outside of work. My guess is he was one of the employees that did the bear minimum. With a career you need to stand out and make yourself an asset to the company to prevent being the first on the chopping block
That is funny because Elmo keeps begging the government for money like it is a charity.
It's funny to me that elon musk wants the population still grow but yeah he's laying off his workers
@@audreyhamel7604👏
Right, BUT CEOs should not be making hundreds of times what first-line employees make.
Then don’t put all ur hopes in a 9-5. Your last name is not on the articles of incorporation, employment is mostly always at will. Start planning for your financial independence while you work. No job lasts forever.
That's a ridiculous comment. Most people aren't independently wealthy.
Company made them sign a non-disclosure because the employee agreed to a payout.
I just think this shows these electric cars aren’t selling as well as expected, people are sick of having this shoved down their throats…
Petrol-gasoline and diesel, that’s always going be number one!
I know that's how life is but I hate seeing people get laid off, poor fellows
This is why me and my wife took the chance and started our own food manufacturing business 26 yrs ago, we did live in our van for 9 months to get the business going. We are doing just fine now thank God.
Car sales are slowing. The companies must adjust. How could it be otherwise?
No they’re not
EV sales are slowing. I owned a Tesla and no more EV’s for me! I bought a supercharged 5.0L V8 and life is a 1000x better.
Musk is hated.
@@JetFire9why? Was the ev that bad
The only charging stations I've seen around here are at company parking lots and posh apartment complexes and those are employee or resident only.
They just wished for a heads up. That’s exactly what an employer don’t want to do. They give a heads up and all of a sudden a bunch of employees have back injuries.
I been laid off twice and got furloughed a days work each pay check for two years at two different employers! No job if safe no matter your living situation or life! I’ve learned never treat your employer like a friend of the family! They will let you go no matter what! You’re just an employee and can let you go and be replaced if they need to
Stuff happens, I worked for 2 places that closed its doors. Be prepared for the worst and nothing is guaranteed.
It’s 14,000 worldwide, not * nation wide*.
Signing a non-disclosure agreement means he left with a lot of cash.
Go into a 9-5 understanding you are always replaceable or not needed at a moments notice and and accordingly. Doesn’t mean working for an employer is bad, just an inherit risk. Self-employment carries risks as well. God bless those workers that they find another opportunity.
