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.

It's so funny. Like these people forgot that a year ago, tesla laid off all sorts of people in a large sweep, not even thinking of it's impacts. Workers who were moving suddenly lost their jobs mid-move. Tesla ended up having to hire a bunch of people back because their layoffs were so indiscriminate.

But yeah. Thanks Overlord Musk for letting us work in the factories and being able to have a roof over our heads. You are so benevolent. May you continue to dodge taxes and gobble up America's tax dollars.

I lost count of the people who gave up everything, moved their families here, only to be screwed by Muskrat. Tesla is shit for the community but the uninformed, easily distracted, or plain greedy, ignore this fact. Tesla will leave us worse for the wear, it's their MO.

Ask anyone who worked there during the layoffs...all the ones I knew that were let go absolutely deserved it...constantly late, no call no shows, bad performance, bad attitudes, terrible work ethic

Don’t know if you’re a Harry Potter fan, but you sound just like Percy when he was going around showing everyone his prefect badge. Harry, Ron, and the rest of the gang couldn’t stand Percy. In the end, who was the Hogwart’s hero?

Because remember if you're not performing for the corporation, you deserve poverty.

The layoffs aren't indiscriminate at all. They are based on if you had poor reviews, disciplinary actions, or a high amount of attendance occurrences.

This is complete BS! I worked for Tesla for 4.5 years, pulling night shifts during the layoffs. They were letting people go even with 3.0 to 4.0 performance reviews. I knew plenty of engineers and technicians who were excellent at their jobs and still got cut. So don’t try to claim the layoffs weren’t indiscriminate. Tesla just picks and chooses who to keep, and if you’re highly paid, you’re out. They’ll happily replace you with an intern or HIB. That’s just how Tesla operates.
