Tesla layoff 9% of company

Looks like Tesla is letting 9% of the company go. Any Tesla insiders can weigh in on how good a job they did picking the ones to let go? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/12/tesla-to-cut-about-9-percent-of-jobs-across-company-report.html

Also i see job openings and applied. Is it even worth going to tesla now

Tesla Pocky67 Jun 12, 2018

Area which needs to grow aren’t affected. I still have >5 openings

SpaceX SlaveX Jun 14, 2018

If it's anything like SpaceX most openings will never be filled faster than the firings and quitings. God speed.

How is the severance package at tesla?

SolarCity RBR5 Jun 14, 2018

Two weeks for every year of service. Garbage.

VMware BobbleHat Jun 12, 2018

The real question is should I get my m3 deposit refunded ASAP?

It sounds like your model 3 is safe. But if you preordered an 18-wheeler you might want to make back up plans.

If you're waiting for the $35k version, yes.

"...so that we never have to do thus again". Haha. Yea right.

Severance is “on payroll till 9/5, including next quarter vesting, and benefit (healthcare) till end of September”

Illumina VonNeumann OP Jun 12, 2018

Good luck Pocky...it looks like it’s going to be rough there for awhile

Wow, so equivalent of 3 months to find another job. Not bad but not the best either.

Layoff 9% of total workforce, but EM said all layoffs will be from office workers and not on manufacturing floor. Then what % of office worker would that be? Just curious....

Salesforce pmyz88 Jun 13, 2018

I read somewhere close to 20% as about half of Tesla jobs are factory jobs

SolarCity RBR5 Jun 14, 2018

Yeah BS. Production people from all over the country were cut too.

Rip Tesla

Tesla Nf1ijk2 Jun 12, 2018

Well if anyone is thinking this is impacting your pre-orders/products or the work there, it's not true. More of cost cutting measures.

SpaceX SlaveX Jun 14, 2018

It's not impacting the orders becaues they never expected to make ontime deliveries to begin with.

Tesla eng56 Jun 13, 2018

Nevada doesn't have WARN. So only 4 weeks of severance and no vesting of stocks.

Tesla 22222 Jun 13, 2018

So far I've only seen/heard employees let go that had very redundant roles, also part of the 9% was the elimination of a lot of job reqs although mission critical reqs remained open.
