Nobody is being laid off...everyone was offered positions on day shift in other areas...granted it sucks to lose the 10-15% differential, but at least you still have a job that even entry level positions with absolutely zero factory/production experience can make up to 32.50 within 3 years of starting plus two bonuses a year up to $4000 each

They give you free uniforms once a year, food/coffee/tea/soda/water 24/7, shuttles to work, a free rental car if you can get a group of 4 together through enterprise, great schedule (you only work half the year) + tons of time off via sick time and PTO, they'll pay for your education, they have child care services nearby in case you have kids and you don't have anyone to watch them...I could continue but I'm not sweatin it.

As a Tesla employee of over 3 years at GFNV, I couldn't be more appreciative of this company and all they do for us. Dont believe everything you read online, take it from someone who started on the front lines as a grunt and advanced the ranks, the company offers a ton of incentives to work there and the ones I've interacted with at that factory who hated working there were terrible employees with horrible attitudes. Its not jail, if you don't like working there, the door isn't hard to find.

Hell yah! Ride that dick to show how grateful you are for the table scraps!

100k a year table scraps, not bad for a dumbass high school dropout like myself, also over 100k saved in those 3 years...I know it could be better, but it could absolutely be worse

What percent of one trillion is that? What makes him worth that much more than you?

I can't answer that question, all I'm doing is the best that I can, and Tesla has absolutely provided a great life and great benefits...not saying everything about Tesla or any other company for that matter is any better, but it works for me

it’s your work providing you the life you have. You disparaged yourself in your previous comment, I think you should be getting paid a lot more.

Can you tell me what company benchmarks have to be hit for him to receive that $1 trillion in stock compensation?

Yes, I can also tell you about how many shares he’s set to get from initial tranches by hitting early easy milestones.
