Why are Tesla recruiters reaching out to FANG folks when they are laying off 7% of their entire workforce? Who in their right mind will join them?

Why not go out of your way and thoroughly vet internal Tesla folks who were let go?

    u think the 7% are techies... majority of them are from s and x assembly lines and staff hired for delivering car at service centers. Hardly very few from IT if any.

    They cut people to save money so can pay FANG people more.

    They lay off low performers, at least when it comes to engineers.

      In any case, these kind of layoffs are large scale and come from the top: so Elon states a company target of 7% and every org has to match (with some room to negotiate). And inside every org when you have to decide who to let go, it is all about a combination of performance and impact (what is the impact on the project if this person has to go / who else would be impacted or pick up, etc)

      Also, Elon does not trust managers in general, and especially to let go low performer people as much as they β€œshould”. And he is somehow right : because teams are overloaded and understaffed, managers can’t afford to let go low-performers.
      Where Elon is wrong, is when he believes that there is a long line of exceptional engineers that are ready to join and be enslaved no matter what. Recruiting at Tesla is really hard.
