So he had the job until they saw him in person , then made up something that makes no sense about how he will get to work . The whole thing sounds fishy .
Bingo.
Idk man tesla was always lame about transportation.
Liar
Where do you live to be surprised about it 😂
@@ELEONORAHORVATH-hm8moThe people who stink are the ones who like their own comment. 🤡
I hope another employer sees this video and offers this man a job. He has shown a dedication and work ethic that would be valuable to an employer who respects those characteristics in an employee. God bless him!!!
Dedication and work ethic demand that you show up on Monday when you are scheduled to work. The rerporting clearly explains why he was fired, he didn't show up for work until Tuesday.
No way.nobody should hire him .look at him.
@@JeffKubelthey knew he was taking a course to get the certification that was required for the job. They knew he was not able to provide proof that he'd already taken the course. They brought him on despite that in the first place. So for them to make an issue of him not showing up on Monday is ridiculous. The whole report talks about the problem they had was with how he got to work. You have reliable transportation so you can get back and forth to work everyday yet they had a problem with him using Uber or his own bike to get to work. Put yourself in his shoes.
Hoping the same.
Dude aint got no empathy - just look st the comment he wrote. @@janew7008
Why does Tesla care how you get to work? I have never heard of an employer doing that as long as the employee is on time.Weird
I had a former employer (lawyer) who told me I needed to buy myself a car, because riding the bus was NOT going to be acceptable when he moved into a different law office/building in South Tulsa. When I had previously asked for a $100 raise, (I was making $900/month BEFORE taxes), he turned me down. That $100 would have been the difference for a car payment on an old used CLUNKER. No raise? No car! Pretty soon, I updated my resume & went to work for a different law office. Then I got out of Tulsa Law completely! (1993). YES, they do like to dictate how you get to work.
Yep, there are plenty of businesses that are worried about looks ans perception ❤
He probably had to ride the bike on highways for motor vehicles only.

Nothing but bots in the comments: PEOPLE! Read the job duties, it'll literally state "Must have reliable, insured, transportation."
I know as I've been on Monster, Indeed and LinkedIn for 2 years looking at new job ideas.
In addition you're involving a 3rd party for the hiring process, having no car, for most companies means no job.

I canceled my X account. I refuse to listen to tesla
You don’t think this entire thing sounds fishy? There has to be more to this story.
A shame how this working American citizen was treated
They treat illegals better
whats really going on is i just figured it out.. the hiring agency uses numbers nmever ever go though one go to the company and fill a paper application out if they say its all digital run a paper old school app why well agencies care about numbres see we have several that went to school we have this many people applying to get moneyyyyy off companies companies pay hiring agencies to find people and if they find that person toooooo fast they loose money see companies pay them monthly a fee etc well he didnt work out welll were still looking nevvvvvvvvvver use these companies
That agency was jerking him around hoping he would get frustrated and give up. Third party hiring agencies should be outlawed. They largely exist to get around labor laws.
Facts, kinda went through the same but it was with FedEx. But I didn't worry, didn't have to move but ended up getting a free dot medical card 😂. But yes these staffing or third party agencies aren't even worth the time or money
However, it was the supervisor at Tesla messing with him, not the agency. I think the agency just followed orders
The agency is still responsible.
Third party hiring agencies get paid by companies to do the vetting for them. In 2007, one place I worked only for a very short time was being charged 2.5 times my hourly wage as their fee. When informing the agency's rep by phone why I wouldn't take the job permanently, she became audibly pissy with me.
I wonder if SST is a legit agency.
I better not hear anyone from older generations say “People don’t want to work anymore” when shit like this is happening.
And whites talk about we don't want to work😂😂😂
exactly! Its sooooooo not motivativing… Annnddd these jobs expect courtesies… emails and notifications…2 weeks notice…tuh!😂
People don’t want to work anymore…Wasah
Sorry, there are a lot of younger people that don't want to work. Yes, there are crap employers that pull BS like this, for apparently no reason, but there are plenty of others that don't and treat their employees very well.
I am older and always knew it was because of wages and not an unwillingness to work. I get annoyed by older generations. They were the ones who set the stage and now criticize?....talk about fafo.
Temp/Staffing Agencies should not exist in this country. They should be outlawed!
I agree
That’s sad. That man is doing a honest living and they treat him that way ???
Talk about having the best employee ever. He went far out of his way to secure a job and TESLA doesn't realize what they lost. I hope he will get something far better since they do not deserve his work ethic.
Apparently, Tesla deems an employees attendance would not be reliable unless they owned their own car.
You can’t rely on any company to not fail you the fact they don’t do their own hiring tells you everything. These agencies only take from the employees they hire ~ the fact that this ignorant agency didn’t ask the man it required a vehicle tells you everything. Let’s put you in a plane ✈️ across the country and ride a bike to work? Like why not say you need a vehicle 🚗 worse they want you to drive their ugly cars where are you going to charge it in the middle of nowhere? Work agencies for you, they take your wages and put you in difficult situations ( Tesla and it’s foreign ideas) not so great now are they? That place is in the middle of nowhere.
@@LoriKasprzak-kc7xc Probably because he didn't own a "TESLA." What sort of horrible people are these at the companies....
Never, ever use a third party to get a job! 9 times outta 10 it's a SCAM!
Bless your heart ♥️ 😔 these employers don’t care never will if we can only work for ourselves and help one another not be ran by big corporations like Tesla etc
The fact that there is a charity that helps people when Tesla does this says everything
Catholic Charities handles dozens of different case types. It’s not exclusive to Tesla.
Yes there is a catholic charities of Colorado and they assisted our dv victims with housing and have a food bank.
I guess there ARE Catholics who actual skim their bible lol.
Tesla never directly hired him, he was brought on by STT a 3rd party hiring company.
😂🤦🏻♂️.
lol you arent entitled to a job just because you want one
Tesla has a "bike to work" program yet security wouldn't let him arrive on a bike?
I don't believe him
@@UncleDavesKitchen Why's that?
Brothas 🔥
@@shadow.bannedRemember, this is ABC and they’ve been caught lying about Tesla in the past.
Please tell us why you don’t believe him???
Man I am sorry you had to go through this bullshit. What a disgrace it has become to be scammed by such large corporations and them ghosting him like that.
It seems to me that this is a case of he "showed up black". They quickly used his mode of transportation as an excuse to keep him from coming to work and working any hours, that bought them time to let the higher ups know that he was black, and then they used the fact that he hasn't started by Monday as a reason to cut him loose. If this man had the means to rent a car they would be screwed, and a lawsuit would have been filed because he actually worked some hours. It is a shame that they used his poverty to give him the run around. Telsa has had many civil rights lawsuits for its treatment of black workers. Maybe that is why Elon wants more H1B visas.
God bless his heart....all's he's trying to do is support his family. I hope his next job will be better than the last one.

Add Job recruiters to this bunch. Unless you are a top 5 percent of employees - you know a programmer who has 6 plus years, already worked for Apple and Amazon etc etc, these recruiters can’t waist their time shopping you around. So that’s a dead end. And honestly if you are one of the 6 percent of employees - you don’t need a recruiter! You got the credentials, certificates and experience.
THATS WHO IS AT FAULT ,TEMP/EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES
Not for me was always good to me
He went above and beyond. It’s crazy unfortunate this happened to him but I pray some employer see this video and rewards his dedication.
Having basic transportation isn't going above and beyond.

@@oedhelsetren Over 100 people disagree with you. Majority rules. #YouFail

Above a beyond were. Do d you not hear them say he must seed his first day of work. You can’t do that no matter your excuse…. How you starting a job with excuses
Wow,that f@ck up. Feel bad for the guy. Wishing him well.
This reminds me of what trucking companies were doing back during the recession of 08. Companies were " hiring " drivers they didn't really have work for because the government was giving money to employers if they hired and kept them for at least 30 days. This, in turn, made the job numbers look better than they actually were. Many companies would bring in large orientation classes and then send them home to sit and wait, after weeks they would bring in driver's and put them into a truck just to sit in a yard with no loads to haul. Some companies even scammed people into leasing trucks just for them to be stuck in a contract and on the hook for fuel and other expenses while they just sat parked for weeks at a time with no work. As long as they could string a driver along for the minimum required time " hired " they would get that government hand out.
Hired means paid. Scam should have been easily shut down if they weren't paying reliable wages all that time.
Had to watch this video a second time....all while capturing this man's humble expression of disbelief, and disappointment. Trust me.....greener pastures...much greener pastures are in his future!
This doesn't sit well. He can't uber and can't ride a bike to work. This man went above and beyond to work there. Yet they refused his service. Shame on them. Praying for blessing and a job keep going. FYI tesla is overrated.
This is why if Tesla ever goes under, nobody would care. If an evil company like Tesla goes under, surely it's their own fault.
He was working through a temp agency, not tesla. And they told him he needed a car for the job. This story is a fraud.

@@Blakelikesfoodthey only say that because they wanted someone who will be on time, he was never late
Taking a bike to work for that distance would be a major red flag to me. My employee is using a ton of their energy to get to work and back. Energy they may need while working.
I'd make a deal, if you bike then I expect you to put the same effort and energy as every other worker, if you're tired or exhausted that's on you and your fired.
I feel for him and understand what he's going through. I too moved here from across the country for a career at Tesla and was laid off within a few months, now struggling to find employment as I drain my savings to keep a roof over my families head. I just keep praying for something to come through with any of my searches across the US.
This is terrible. How can they lay off people and change staffing so quickly? I hope you the best and hope there will be something better for you.
Tesla's just like any other company if they're losing money they're going to lay off employees and just because musk is a millionaire has nothing to do with it it's all business
This happened to a couple of my friends with Chase Bank, Chase gave them a relocation package and they move and less than two years they were laid off. Luckily they were qualified to get another job with Chase but still they were worried because they were competing against 200 other employees that were laid off for a couple of jobs in the area

What exactly is the problem with someone riding a bike to work? So long as they are there on time and ready to work, that is all that matters.
Especially in THAT part of the country where there's no rain, & it hardly ever snows except the worst part of the wintertime.

America STOP throwing away or alienating your valuable human resources.
The worst part is the people working hardest are getting the least remuneration for their efforts and then shamed in the media for not taking more hours, more work despite the poverty wages. 40% of people in work need state support. That’s a reflection of greed not poor work ethics by working people. This is being done by design, by greed.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate and stocks.
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards early retirement and financial freedom, but since covid outbreak, the economy so far has caused my portfolio to underperform, do I keep contributing to my 401k or look at alternative sectors to meet my goals?
@@rougeur I've always delegated my investment decisions to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date.
I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

wow, what a load of crap. poor guy and his family. why would employer care about how he got to work, as long as he got to work. give a job, so he can eventually get a car and take care of his family, keep trying, you will find a good job. you showed folks how far your willing to go and try. hope someone who needs this guys skills, comes forward with a job.
That’s BS! Why would any employer care how you get to work?
In this specific location not even Ubers are reliable, especially during winter right now. Look at the map the two nearest cities are Sparks and Fernley, both 15 miles away in opposite directions
They don't care HOW you got to work. They care that you GOT to work. This guy didn't show up for day 1 of work. That's why there was no job for him when he tried going in for the first time on day 2. This news article is a joke.
@@JeffKubelit said he spent the first day finishing the (10 hour) course and finding transportation. Must have been an online course. After being told he wasn't scheduled to work Tesla still told him he needed a different form of transportation. That's not what you say to someone who's been replaced. Makes it sound like he still has a job to come to start.
Fake job posting should be banned because this is mocking and discouraged any seekers from applying in the future. Don't they know that it can be use as evidence
But this seems to have been a real job. But something made them pull it back.
Shame. Same thing happened to my daughter. She was hired from ga. She stayed in her car for weeks at wal mart mart parking lot. till she finally found work. She has been in Reno for 7 years now.
Exactly. That is what I am saying. But if you are white, nobody cares. They won't doe a news story about HER.
Why would they care how he gets to work.
@@IdMonster00 they wouldn’t.
@albeit1 But, apparently, they did. It reminds me of when I was kid, Ford employs were only allowed to park Fords in the company lot.
@@IdMonster00 I have personal experience with that sort of thing. I worked at New Venture Gear during a coop assignment in college. A joint venture between Chrysler and GM, they did not allow foreign vehicles at the plant.
I drove a Toyota but fortunately worked at the engineering building offsite.
But this video claimed he couldn’t even take a Uber to get to the plant. That doesn’t sound like the same sort of restriction.
And the vehicle thing, I thought, was a silly union thing. I could be wrong but Elon doesn’t strike me as someone who’d go for such silliness.
@@albeit1 My guess is that you are or were an engineering student, so it's probably fair that you might idolize Musk. As engineering goes, it's safe to say that Musk knows his onions. As a manager he makes and has made some peculiar choices, but for the most part, he made them work. But for all of that, you are doing yourself a disservice if you overlook the fact that the man is at least half batshit.
Uh being on time.
Our Lady of Mercy and Jesus Christ bless him and his family.
This is why nobody wants to work. That's complete bs. This poor man and his family😢
Exactly. People complain “nobody wants to work! Why is this? People are lazy” and then you hear a story like this.
The phrase isn't "nobody wants to work." It's "nobody wants to work for these greedy employers."
This is not why nobody wants to work. There are lots of people who do want to work, but aren't fit to be employees. This is the first time I have ever heard of this happening and I'm over 56. When someone does not want to work, there is usually laziness or an attitude of entitlement involved. Please don't take one news story and paint the entire civilization with it.
@ oh really? If the people want to work and they are unfit, the company can at least refer them to a place that might be more suitable . Now they don’t have to do that. But a lot of these companies would rather just show you the door and tell you “tough luck”. This is why folks don’t want to work anymore
@miguelrobb5719 I've never encountered that, and I don't know anyone personally who has. I know lots of people who work. I know a few who don't want to work. They are just lazy or unmotivated. You can't paint everyone with a broad brush. Get "nobody wants to work" out of your vocabulary in this case, because it isn't so. Are you a 20-something? You sound like it.

Some job sites are so secure that they don’t allow for Ubers, taxis, pickups/drop off. You must drive in and have your license plate scanned, badge id checked etc etc.

Wait.... He was supposed to start on Monday, but went to work on Tuesday? Regardless of if the temp agency told him he couldnt work without the course he needed to take, the job didn't "disappear". Sounds like a hit piece of "Tesla bad", when its clearly the temp agency's and the individual's fault he didnt get the job. How is this a worthy news piece?
It's a hit piece. The guy didn't even show up for day one. No company would hire someone who fails to show up the first day.

I am the reporter on this story. Certainly an interesting story line for Mr. Hasty. Seems like this is more common than people expect.

Exactly. It sounds like he wasn't prepared for work and couldn't work on Monday and Tuesday was his first day.
His first misjudged goal is going thru an agency. How would they not know it requires a vehicle? Knowing musk’s stupid ideas he probably wants to force people to buy his crappy vehicles. He just can’t let go of third world countries ways. I’m not sure who’s more deranged the dumb agency asking for all kinds of certificates? Then asking someone to go clear cross country with no guarantee? Or musk’s requirements to work there? I can almost assure that he requires people buy or drive his garbage of a car? As if they aren’t asking for people to move there? Obviously theirs nobody really available. Dumb work agencies and never move for a dumb “ job” ~ yes people you need a home you need a car to drive to work ( you saw this during the pandemic people moving with all their belongings only to be told the job was on freeze)
Of course there is, we’re only hearing his side of it. We have no idea what the actual truth is.
It wasn't weird like that in the 80s. I was there in the 80s and I rode my bike to various jobs as a guy in my 20s and no one cared.
It’s not adding up. Why would anyone cares how he gets to work???
Why do they care how he gets to work?
“Was supposed to start Monday but he spent the day finishing the course (because he didn’t have his paperwork together, job required that he had proof that he completed a particular course) and thus didn’t start work until Tuesday” I feel bad for him I really do because he doesn’t strike me as a bad guy but you gotta have all your stuff ready to go when you start a new job, hopefully he’s found something else by this point.
And spent the day finding transportation too. When he flew in, he could have rented a car from the airport.
Looks to me like a Black man riding his bike cycle to Tesla HQ was not a good look for the company....Great Job Tesla for showing your values to the World 🌎
Time for a working class party. This video damn near had me in tears cuz here is a guy, who wants to work, and this is how he gets jerked around!!!
Finding a job now is a joke I just been unemployed since June 7th and I was at a casino for 5 years I apply at fast food they literally tell me I'm overqualified or they're not hiring or they hire young kids which I respect we all started Young temp services tell me I don't have the qualifications especially with Warehouse I replied to the temp service you tell me all I have to do is take things out of a box a 5-year-old can do that for 8 hours and they reply well you don't meet our qualifications also I have broken teeth so that doesn't help and I'm single guy 44 years old so yeah if you guys have a job be thankful for what you have
I would expect nothing less heartless from Tesla. This is what Elon has in store for the rest of us. Tesla and Musk will not be getting support from me as much as I can help it. I will direct my good will to his competitors.
Remember all of the layoffs in Austin? Lots of employees had just bought homes snd then wham, kicked to the curb!😮
@@frankcorrea8691 Remember you can’t get to trump but Elon can only afford whatever security protection he hasn’t stiffed yet. He does not have secret service protection as a non us citizen
@@frankcorrea8691 show me a company that never laid anyone off? ill wait.
And the moral of this story is don't ever work for Tesla
So now corporations can tell us how we are to be transported to work?? Then they should have to provide the transportation. I'm sick of these trash companies.
Tesla is wrong for that... this man went far to hope to be hired ... after they saw him in person, here all the excuses not to hire him. Shame Shame Tesla.
He was already hired allegedly.
This is what happens when you want to hire a friend when you already hired someone else. What if he walked to work because he lives in the area is that allowed. What if he is sharing a car with his wife and she drops him off in the morning is that allowed. Why have someone pay to take a test and then say your service is nolonger needed. Someone needs to look further into this. Or give the man 60 days to find reliable transportation. He couldn't even get his first check to work on this. Something just don't add up.
He was working for a TEMP company not TESLA. He and the reporter are lying about the situation. HE was a TEMP. Not a TESLA worker.
@@braddl9442the report DOES say SST hired him. Wasn't emphasized but was likely significant. Staffing agents are used when people are needed right away. Seems kinda weird to move cross country for a temporary job. Especially as an electrician. Trades jobs are in high demand everywhere. Why move?
Elon Musk is one heck of a guy. And now he has the US government in his pocket.
Speaking of hip pockets one of these days Musk will stop sudden and Trump’s head would go right up Musk rear.Hate to imagine what Trump’s hair would look like when have to pry his head from Musk rear
So he missed his orientation he was supposed to be there on Monday but showed up on Tuesday and he expects people to feel sorry for him when he should have had his paperwork done before he got to the job site and I missing anything. I damn well know I can't miss orientation on the first day. I'm sorry but he screwed that up for himself and his kids
Love Tesla BUT they have been weird with how they treat their employees
Tesla and Elon are starting to show a trend of how they think about and treat people..
Starting?
Yes, the way you treat people who don't show up for work on their first day is to not give them a job. 1:08, listen carefully, it says he was supposed to show up on Monday but didn't show up until Tuesday. Guaranteed way of not getting a job is to not show up on day 1.
@@JeffKubel Yes listen. He did not show up the first day as he was finishing the course he needed to for the job. Why did you leave that part out?
I bet it was a problem with the third party hiring firm. My husband had a problem with one of those companies.
Glad he brought Attention to this matter. Bless this man and his kid. ❤🙏🏽
I wish there was a way he could sue that shitty company
For not having the correct certifications for the job he was hired for?
Yeah, let's see how that works out 😂
Oh geez. He no-showed Monday. Then he showed up on Tuesday to find out his job offer was pulled back because he no-showed Monday. Then there is this whole story about buying a bike and Tesla not allowing Uber/bike/walk to work and having to spend Monday taking an online course which is a bunch of fictional excuses for the no-show on Monday. If you don't show up the first day at work, most employers are going to pull the offer.
Companies can hire and firer you with out notice.
This is why you never take a position outside of your area if you can not ensure that actually have a job.
He should've flown out by himself, established some kind of footing, then sent for his family....He musta been too excited to think clearly enough...
@davidwright873 I must have missed something. I did not hear the part where he had brought his family.
@@davidwright873 that was prob his plan, duh.
@@TheAnantaSesa I got your Duh swinging between my legs fella!! lol
Someone in HR probably was afraid he could be a Union organizer, and they couldn’t have that !
Elon treats employees like crap, and that attitude filters down to management. I saw another video where his employees found out they had been laid-off when they drove to work and their card keys had been shut-off. He didn’t even have the decency to notify them. Just because Musk has good ideas, is smart, and wealthy, doesn’t make him a good person.
It is true..
he was not working for TESLA he was working for a temp agency. Noticed you didnt notice you were mislead.
He’s not smart he takes the ideas from other people and says it’s his idea
@@braddl9442 : I worked for quite a few temp agencies when I was in college. I was an accounting major, and over the holidays the temp agencies would send me out to work a few weeks for major corporations, such as Clorox and Chase Bank, mostly doing year-end reconciliations. The temp agencies work closely with the HR departments of the companies who contract with them. They know what kind of employees the companies want, in terms of everything from professional appearance to skill sets. If the temp agency sends undesirable employees, the corporation drops them and goes with a different temp agency. The corp also provides feedback to the temp agency, which the agency often passes along to the employee so that he has the opportunity to improve his skills, such as the need to improve 10-key speed, working with Excel spreadsheets, etc. Bottom line, the temp agency knows what the employer wants and that’s what is provided. If you have a grown man show up with goofy looking hair and sagging pants like a teenager, for example, the temp agency will realize that he doesn’t present the professional image that the particular corp requires, and will drop him. Some companies care about appearance, others don’t, but the temp agency will know this.
Most of "his ideas" were developed by others long before him.
Jobs are EASY to Find. They are Not hard to find at all. It is called Applying to All jobs out there. No matter what type of Job it is really. At least Can Get into that is. I mean if not trained to be a Doctor couldn't apply for that job of course.
But, Fast Food, Retail. its Out there. tis called Applying to them all.
It is Just People are PICKY at what type of Job they want. That Shouldn't matter at all. What Matters is, Getting a Job First, Getting some income coming in, then can look and apply for another Job that is more suited for you and your own skills.
Don't fly out somewhere unless you already have that Job. Or Written agreement that the Job Spot is Yours. If you get that Written Agreement. And the Job disappears or they put you into a different position then promised. Then you Have the Grounds for a Lawsuit there then. No Written Agreement, No lawsuit.
Give this man a job, Elon!
And let me tell you flying from the East Coast to the West Coast or vice versa is an extreme travel, nightmare.😢 sorry thing’s didn’t work out for this young man .prayers to him and his family
If I'm understanding this correctly, he needed the class to start on Monday, why did he think doing the class all day Monday and starting Tuesday was acceptable?
he was also working for a TEMP AGENCY, not TESLA. His story and the reporter are doing a hit job.
Y’all don’t listen, he took the class before and couldn’t send the results. So he took the class again on Monday then sent in the results to start work. The better question is why did Tesla decide to go third party instead of direct hire?
@@BaebaeW10 hour class wouldn't leave much time to be looking for transportation which he also did on Monday. So I think the course was divided in stages and Monday was the final online class and/or test. Sounded like he started the course back in NC so I say online.
@@TheAnantaSesa Read what I posted again.
@@BaebaeW 1:10 watch the video again. It clearly says he also looked for transportation on Monday. Your comment doesn't show you listened. I said 10 hours leaves very little time to find transportation (especially if he still wanted to show up to work that day). Why couldn't he have gotten his ride prepared on Sunday?
Does anybody else think that the guy had the job till the company saw his skin color? This BS has gone too far. I don't know how they can sleep at night.
Yes. I applied for a job with the experience needed, went to an interview, and got rejected. I highly believe it was discrimination that was a factor.
Actually, this is the kind of person a company should hire. A person who is determined . Tesla's lose.
My Nephew works for a Tesla Manufacturing Plant, and they have drop off areas and bike racks. This dude did not have his certification and could not prove he had his certification that's why they rescinded the job. He even said it himself, I can't prove I had the certification. A certification that you need for your career to prove you are electrician and he doesn't have that proof?
If you listen to what he said “ I couldn’t prove I had the certification so I took it again to prove it” listen to
@@bryantrobertson-jc3ld Yeah, but by "re-taking" the certification exam, he missed the first day of Orientation.
@88KeysIdaho you're right . Tesla is one of those jobs. Everything is set up period you can't just come. It's orientation, dates.He could have came another date. That's the risk of flying for another job . if he lived locally, it wouldn't be this big of a deal
@@chessesauce9030 Thanks. I've been a hiring manager before. It would be ridiculous to think that you could show up for your first day, outside of the day that they tell you is the start date, without making prior arrangements.
When jobs are offered in this way be it through a staffing agency or by direct employer it violates employment laws and this guy could sue for at least the full year of salary, This is why SST declined to comment The guy should seek a lawyer and file a complaint with EEOC of his State of orgin
I hope there is an investigation into their hiring practices with the state labor board, but hell will likely freeze over before it happens.
SUE Tesla! Reno is a VERY Racist place. And have the nerves to toy with him with the job and means to get to the job.
These people are playing games!!! They gave him a run round and wasted his time and money! I hope he will find a better job. 🙏
Third party hiring agencies seems to be just as useful as healthcare insurance.
correct
Forget Tesla I like gasoline cars anyways because charging them things is same price as a gas car
Wait he was supposed to start on Monday but showed up on Tuesday ?
Exactly.... orientation was Monday and he did NOT show up for it because he was completing the course he needed to have done before he could start... he should have asked for another start date when he knew he couldn't complete the class prior to his orientation date... my friend was given the wrong orientation date before starting work at Tesla but thankfully we stayed on top of things with his recruiter to double check start dates etc.
Yea this guy is an EARL from that 70s show
I'm surprised with how many people missed this part of the story. He failed to show up for his first day of work. Obviously you aren't going to land a job when you don't even show up.
I caught that and I was wtf did I just hear. So he missed his orientation got you
