There are rumors that this was an emotional decision from muskrat, and they will probably be offered their jobs back. Just rumors, but still would not be surprising

Who would take them? I mean, I guess you gotta get paid, but when someone demonstrated that they can just drop you with zero warning, trust is negative at that point.

Oh I agree. There have to be rival companies looking for that exact experience right now. They should not have too much trouble being hired on one of the myriad charging companies out there

Especially since the other companies were planning to support the Tesla network…

I’d rejoin for double the wage I previously had. Need to build up an emergency fund for this precarious position.

One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.

From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn't the way to treat people.

He sees his employees like slaves as his parents did

That’s not how research & development works. Nobody asks for a specific person there. Stuff just doesn’t get done.

it’s also not a good way of actually figuring out who is critical.

you can have people who keep the lights on and if they do their job right few even notice they exist.

Could be supervillain problems 🤣 comments about wishing someone would go away and an underling resolves it's in a more permanent way .....

Probably not, it's just that his entire exec team are spineless henchman.

I think the spacex team is still independent (ish) for now, I fear for them though!

Well, the exact rumor is he did it to show that he is serious about staffing cuts and that no team is safe, and just made an arbitrary decision

[-] Bitrot 8 points 7 months ago

With that kind of leadership we should be thankful he can’t run for president, or he’d end up voted in.

Rumors or wishful thinking, I wonder
