This is nothing new - it’s just the hype surrounding Tesla and the anti-EV campaign by legacy auto and oil companies in general that has all the attention. It is actually somewhat rare these days to have a good company; most just shipped out the manufacturing employee jobs to China years ago.

Once the backlash happened the senior manager - much like Rebecca - was told to find another job.
      It’s not a matter of crying I’ll just get a new job - their lives were disrupted by an incompetent manager. Somehow it didn’t make the local paper And they were never offered the chance to be rehired in Days - unlike Teslas example.

What kind of monstor takes their anger on one person by firing 500 people only to (at least some) hire them back. What does that do to those employees?

And what that does to TESLA? How on earth is BYD still competitive against TESLA despite BYD getting 100% tarrif and TESLA enjoying govt subsity? Such poor performance is an inidication that TESLA leadership, specially Mr. Musk is a trash.

      Nope, not really. The first problem was Rebecca! She refused to cut staff.
      I imagine the conversation went something like this; Elon; “Rebecca I need you to cut 30% of your staff as we are changing the supercharger network rollout schedule.” Rebecca; “I can’t do that.” Elon; “Well you’ve got to because our plans have changed.” Rebecca; “ I won’t do that to MY staff, they’re great people. Please look at it from my perspective, we’ve just broken even and making money; it would be stupid to do so right now.” Elon; “ Cut the staff as I request by 5pm today and copy the emails to me tonight.” Rebecca; “I won’t do that and if forced to, half the staff will follow me out the door!” Elon; “Please get it done and send me the emails for the staff you’ve decided to cut, there is no other choice.”
      Elon then leaves and waits for the email from Rebecca - it never shows up. Elon then fires the whole staff in the early morning hours the next day, instead of potentially being embaressed by a major walkout as Rebecca threatened.

    What did Musk say? The charger network is what sets Tesla apart.

    I had no concerns that everything would work itself out. Obviously Elon knows that Supercharging is important for the Tesla business and he wasn't just going to fire the team with no follow-up actions (like re-hiring back some of the people and other things). I was never really worried and was constantly telling people just to let the situation play out. Now, whether Elon will get the votes for his compensation package is another story and that has me a little worried...

    It's totally amazing to me how--when people have no clue what's going on--they just make shit up and convince themselves it's true.

      Like, the notion that x percent of employees are always dead weight,?

      Or maybe the dead weight is at the top !

      Agreed, this is a typical response you see from the Ultra-rich. Howard Hughes, Michael Jackson, Donald Trump etc. If no one ever is able to say NO to you, you go off on crazy tangents. (it is typical, predictable, and sad)

      @@richardlocke7264 I think that's also an element, but Elon is controlled by the board. He might be stubborn and pig-headed but he's running a public company. He has to follow their input, and if he decides otherwise, he has to justify it. He's not a demonic regal autocrat acting with no responsibility. That's the cartoon character the media are trying to make of him.

    By the way Sam, I think the same thing is going to happen to the 4680 battery team. They've been told to lower battery costs or get themselves fired and the program ended.
    Clearly this cloud has a silver lining.

    Hired back at reduced wages ? Cybertruck Director of manufacturing , Mr Zenjia Zhu, also "let go" last week..

    It would be completely foolish to not hire them back. Especially right now. BYD is a beast waiting to awaken in America. They have their own ships to ship their cars. I saw this and thought..they're not playing around. I'd definitely commit some of the pay package of $65B to employees before they get to America and they will in time. What must be done now is to focus on quality and expansion of the supercharger network along with the affordable model 2 if that ever becomes reality. Maybe even a sleeker version of the cyber truck just in a car version..

    Oh Viking! This was obviously a mistake. People involved in negotiations with Tesla about installing a supercharger location were left hanging. Projects that were proposed were told they were cancelled. Seems like a tantrum that looked bad in hindsight.
