This is how clueless but innocent individuals suffer for (whimsical) promises / decisions of leaders. Musk promises profitability - sale's not picking up, production is far behind, cost of production isn't reducing... the low hanging fruit - employees. I am waiting for how the employees would respond to the increased pressure. If I worked there, I'd have already blasted my resumes months ago.

The counterpoint of course is that without whimsical promises / decisions of leaders many jobs wouldn't exist for them to lose.

Which isn't to say they don't go too far on occasion.

I've always found the self-interested "safe" leaders to be the worse kind. They're also 99% of them.

Some of this seems like they're trying to find criticism where it's barely warranted. When are you supposed to notify someone of a meeting in which they'll be fired? Too late and it seems like it's last minute. Too soon and they might anxiously stew on it for a week. Not enough indication of what the meeting is about, and they'll be surprised. Give them too much indication and their anxiety will balloon. I've been on…

What about this part? > A third employee, an engineer who still works at Tesla and asked not to be identified by name, said he discovered his manager had been fired after the manager didn't show up for a meeting on Tuesday. When a colleague of his attempted to email the manager, the email bounced back. Seems very odd not to notify employees when their manager gets fired.

What day were they fired? Given that's one case, could it have been overlooked by another manager or by HR dealing with bigger fallout?

Are these types of stories written for every round of layoffs at every other automotive company? It strikes me that the media is quick to find drama when it's Tesla.
