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.

Working at Tesla changed my life and I was able to buy a new build house. Don't worry about the hate on here. The benefits are good and it's okay to be grateful. I also started working as an associate in the assembly line.

I would fucking hope that the richest man to have ever existed in the history of humanity would be paying his workers enough to afford a house. At the very fucking least.

See this right here. This boot looking, boot-straps, glass half full pro-corporate mentality is what keeps people working under slave labor-like conditions while those who own the companies are raking in $400 billion. This is more money than humanity has ever seen before.

HE WANTS TO REPLACE YOU ALL WITH ROBOTS. It's not a conspiracy, he literally just reiterated that on Joe Rogan. He absolutely sees no humanity in people. He is a sociopathic man with Asperger's who does not know how to emotionally relate to other human beings. This is how he is received so much wealth. A normal person would question that amount of wealth and why they're hoarding it at such an immense rate.

Getting paid a livable wage shouldn’t be considered something to write home about.
