Hi all, I'm a software engineer who worked at Tesla for the past year (first job out of college). I literally found out today that I was laid off when I couldn't badge in or access any of my work emails or messages. Needless to say I'm rattled but I can't seem to think of anything outside of figuring out my next steps. That said, I'd love to be referred to any positions if anyone's hiring. Tech skills: C, Rust, Python, Go and Typescript. I have a lot of web dev experience before this job so open to getting back into that realm. Location: Preferably SF/Bay area but open to anything honestly Role: Software Engineer Also a US Citizen so don't need any immigration help (also for those wondering why it says amazon; I made this account when I was an intern for them a while back) TC: 0 :( tl;dr Got reamed by tesla but looking for a silver lining :) #engineering #swe #tesla #hiring
Damn, they didn’t even do it with civility, I’m sorry OP. With Amazon and Tesla on your resume, you’ll land on your feet!
My buddy at State farm one day was told that he's no longer an employee and that he now works for a contractor. The contractor then laid him off after he was onboarded. Civility is non existent in our industry.
Yup, this happened about a year ago(?) or a little over a year ago. No warning, nothing. A huge chunk of our tech department got rebadged to a contracting company Scared the shit out of me, I was an intern with my full time offer in hand and I was terrified about being affected. I got lucky, my org didn’t have anyone rebadged and I started full time soon after. I’ve seen some of our contract workers get laid off out of nowhere.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you find something soon. Did they give you any severance?
I’m unsure as of now, although doesn’t seem like Tesla has given good severance in the past. Should find out more details in 48 hrs supposedly
That sucks. Hang in there. Happy to provide a referral if you find anything on our careers page, although it’s been a shit show here too.

Does this work? Did you try it?
Works great for leetcode style interviews
DM me if you see anything you're a good fit for at Microsoft
Will do thanks!
Sounds good! Also, try to keep your head up. I know you're in a tough situation. I was actually laid off during my first job out of school, and it sucked, but I was able to recover really well. You'll make it through this, and, in time, I'm sure you'll land in a role that's even better than before

Do these messages actually work?

How come you have an Amazon account, if you just graduated and only worked in Tesla.
Interns, as he noted in his post, apparently reading is not something we look for when hiring people at Amazon lmao
Nit picking a doc he didnt read? L8 material
