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.
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😂
Well said 👏 👌 🤣😁😁😁😁
Exactly. "We're like a family here" is a huge red flag during the interview process
“Well I ask my family members for money so do you buy any chance have 1k I can borrow ma’am?”
Too funny but unfortunately too true.
Let’s keep this meeting brief. I have an interview with 4 other families today.
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 🙄

Working for a guy who likes to fire people to keep them on their toes,what could go wrong.
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!!!

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.

"NEVER" is a HUGE word!
True! Management at so many companies suck! Franchises also have shitty managers who only have high school diplomas.🎉the amount of disrespect and verbal harassment I received at my first fast food job was insane.
@@applemxchi1911 The same goes for employees, ONLY WORSE!
Wow, here in Germany, it's a 3-month warning when you are laid off so you can look for another job. Terrible.
In the U.S. we have unemployment insurance. As soon as you are laid off you apply for unemployment compensation.
I remember reading that Germany’s productivity was much higher.
@@PatHand-og9ydGermany’s economy is down the tubes. It has been struggling for the past year.
An angry employee could do a lot of damage in 3 months. When I was younger I gave a 2 week notice when quitting a job and they fired me the same day. I give no notice anymore, last job I quit the morning I was scheduled. I walked in and told them I quit.
There is a difference between Reduction in Force (RIF) and layoffs. There are a RIF laws which require certain criteria to be met during layoffs. This avoids things like discrimination during the layoff period m. So there are some protections which does include informing the workforce ahead of time of layoffs.
That being said, most states are what’s called At Will employers which means once can be terminated at anytime without cause.
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!

@@party4keeps28 really? I live down the street from their headquarters. Lots of family worked there.
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.
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.
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.
This behaviour is called having your cake and eating it, as they fear the employees will start stealing everything they can get their hands on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just quite most the time n don't give a notice, one reason I do this is because the other employes are mean to you n treat you bad your last 2 weeks at some jobs cause you are quiting
Also at one job I gave a 2 week notice n they let me go like the next day, after the main boss told me I no longer have a job I told him what about my 2 weeks left, he told me that's up to companies if they want to keep you working those 2 weeks or let you go sooner, 1st time I heard that one
Or sometimes I just call them n say I got a emergency that came up n I am quiting n can no longer work there n I quite right then, if they ask what the emergency is I say I don't want to talk about it
People on jobs you can quite anytime n they can fire you anytime, even if you give a 2 week notice, so always have some money saved that can cover 1-2 months of expenses until you can get another job
On the other side of things when you quit a job usually the company doesn't come to your house and shoot it up, sabotage your equipment, or steal your computres databases. However, when people get fired / layoff then some employees do some crazy stuff. However, you should never find out after you drove to work unless its at the end of the day. Should be at the end of a monday so that you have the week to apply to other jobs and not on a Friday where you ruin someones weekend.
Real life is that companies are a business not your friend.
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
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 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.
It hits different when your laid off by one of the richest people in the world..
I quite agree it’s disgusting 😡😡😡
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!.
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.

That’s why you ALWAYS have money saved up that’ll cover your bills for at least 3-4 months.
Preferably more tbh, I'm a software engineer and have been laid off twice in 5 years (first time was from Tesla). Ive been job searching for 4 month and no luck. At the end of the day business is business but these frequent layoffs really have me re-thinking my career path.
In Canada, it can take up to 8 months + to land a new gig that's "decent."

That's one of the biggest problems with Americans not living with in your means and living a life of plastic cards. It takes awhile to creep up on u but when it does its hits hard and fast
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.
That's why I was never a company, man. I never gave anybody a 2 week notice. Just the way I showed up I left. I enjoyed life and family.
You only get one life that's all you're gonna get.
And there's no due overs and when you die, because you're gonna die. You're not taking nothing with you.

That was almost a nice sentiment until you demonstrated your atrocious grammar. Shape up
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 UA-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

I never voted Republican. They have been hell-bent on destroying the American economy since Reagan. I think they have run out of money to steal. Now they are trying to "fake" the rapture to soak the rest of the low IQ people's money.
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.

This is tru, but it's also the other way around. Employees only care about their paycheck. Your employer is nothing more than a job. We can't say a company is evil because they laid you off. You'd do the same if you had to. They're not in the business of loosing money.

No company is ever going to give you notice before a lay off, period. To do so would leave them open to acts of vandalism or worse by disgruntled former employees.
@@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
I worked for a company for 12 years. At year 11 I was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment.

Treat them with kindness and respect and they might just re-join the company when things are going better.
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.

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.
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

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.
Right to hire... Right to fire. That's life.
No more Loyalty in today's work place! That's why you save your money, because this could happen at any moment!
When companies like T-Mobile lay off employees, it's crickets from the media. But when Tesla does it, everyone covers it.
when 14k people get laid off with no notice, it makes the news
Your tinfoil hat is showing 🙄
Didn’t also Apple lay off like 600 workers recently?
Elon Musk is NOT the saviour they thought huh? He's no different than the others. Nor should he be, it's business, and that is how it's done! Supply and demand. The outrageous price, is killing the (imaginary) demand. Out of the price range of the middle class who do most of the buying, so...........! People are waking up to the truth about EV's. It was bound to happen. It will be interesting to see what the next step is, to attack the middle class now. The next six years will be quite the ride. Buckle up!

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.
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
You are always a temporary employee especially for at will states. I have been laid off fired or quit during my 25 years of working. Nothing surprises me. Actually I try to get 2-5 years out of my jobs then I bounce. I’m so immune to layoffs and firings but glad I’m resilient enough to keep it moving. It sucks for sure especially if you have a family with only a single income.
as someone who grew up in a gm town, welcome to life.
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.

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.
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.
That doesn't happen in a union shop because workers have a contract to limit bad faith actions like this.
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.

@@user-mw8to4ng9i I bet Elon your daddy huh?
If you are getting laid off, how essential is your job really? That's the problem in this country, too many jobs being filled by those who want a chair to sit in. Too much fluff, not enough substance
I never showed loyalty to anyone place after I worked when shortly after college I was a research assistant and was asked to mentor a student. In actuality he was my replacement. Never again
EV's are not selling and most do not want them. Who has the funds for a $65k car ? You want an $800 per month auto payment?
And after 8 years you have to pay at least $20,000 for new batteries.
This is why I ride my bicycle everywhere 🚲
I live in MS, and judging by the new pickups I see on the road plenty of people have the money. It’s just a niche product.
@@carolr7823Your statement is false.

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
You can't be sad with layoffs but happy when your shares go up.
It's one or the other. Don't be a hypocrite.
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!
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
How was the severance?
My department clocked in Monday morning, and 1 hour into working a meeting was called, we told we were laid off and today was our last day.
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…😊😊.

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.
Yep. A lot of companies have done that. Come to work and find out it is your last day. Either the whole company is shutting down or they’re just letting you go.
Last year my job had a massive layoff. Some people were told the day before that the next day was their last day and other people were told on that day, it was their last day.
I hated to see some of the people go, but some of them I was glad they left. One of the executives was let go and I believe she’s involved in a crime but of course I can’t prove it. It was her possibly illegal activity that caused the massive layoffs because the company’s ratings went down, which was a death nail for the company. Also, because of the same person, the company was fined $2 million and had a class action lawsuit filed against us.
Two years ago, the company had over 100 employees. Now it’s around 30.
The company had been in business for over 40 years and this one group of people basically destroyed it and that one executive made things even worse. She killed it
employers should be required by law to give two weeks notice.
Don’t be naive, what happens when that employee getting let go starts sabotaging the quality of the work there for hurting the company, stop thinking like an employee!!
@@nickmora2544 1 just because they give an employee notice, doesn't mean the employee has to maintain the same permissions. the employee can be relegated to other tasks, or simply told they'll be paid for the next two weeks, but their official last day is coming. 2 most employees are not in a position to sabotage a company. a line worker at a tesla can't bring down the whole company. 3 employees who resign can also have an attitude of sabotage, so it has nothing to do with being given notice, but more so their character. 4 most employees like their employers and hope to be able to come back, especially if they've been there for years. just because you're laid off doesn't mean you're ineligible for rehire at a different position. 5 just like with 30 days notice to vacate after not paying rent, the tenant can try to break things, and he will be sued.
They are required to give notice, it’s called the warn list. You can check it for your state to see future layoffs
@@BrianErwindont explain it to him, his mouth and ears are too full of his bosses cock to make any sense other than being told to swallow
@@nickmora2544 This is correct. Imagine having an angry employee "working" the last 2 weeks.

Stop complaining about being let go. People aren’t buying your product.
