Make that popcorn. Elon’s going to try and dodge all those laws and rules about layoffs, severance, etc. The only thing he might end up hiring is lawyers.

Musk’s return to office directive is likely a mechanism to force quits and avoid the WARN act and paying severance to thousands of workers.

Edit: If you’re looking for SWEs, I’ve spoken to three at Tesla who are looking for new opportunities. They’re an org to target for talent acquisition.

Uh,ok...

Two days ago the "Who is hiring" thread here had something like 20+ software engineering positions for Tesla.

More erratic decision making from Mr Musk. Like, I dunno, the time he told Twitter he was taking Tesla private while tripping on LSD. He needs to step aside from Tesla at this point.

Yeah, his directive seemed obviously aimed at getting people to quit. As I have understand it, legally, that's transparently the same thing. Hence his very public hiring of lawyers whose qualifications are "fighting" to discourage employees from seeking what they are owed.

The same can be said about Coinbase and look what's happening. Let's just say buyer beware when it comes to meme companies.
