INDIAN TECHIE, WHO GOT PROMOTED IN APRIL, LAID OFF AFTER 7 YEARS AT TESLA: 'ENTIRE TEAM IS DOWN AND OUT'

Electric vehicle manufacturing firm Tesla has been in the news, in the past few days, for laying off several employees across different departments.

A man took to social networking platform LinkedIn to share that his sister had been laid off from Tesla, a month after she was promoted, after working at the company for seven years.

"My sister had been with Tesla for 7 years. She got laid-off last Friday. The cold email read, "Unfortunately as a result, your position has been eliminated by this restructuring."

"She just got promoted last month and was very happy, packing to move from New Jersey to Washington DC. Back home, we all were so happy for her."

"But then, on 3rd May 2024, she tried to enter the office and her card was deactivated. She is not alone," the user wrote, attaching photos of the termination email to the post.

The man wrote that the manner of his sister's termination, with just one email, made her feel like an outsider.

"She’s been with Tesla for over half a decade and to find out like this. When you can’t enter your own office. Your entire team is down and out. Your ID card is taken away.

"They made her feel like an outsider with just 1 email. I don’t know how she is able to stomach it," the man wrote.

At the end of the post, the man said that his sister losing her job was a reminder of the human cost behind corporate decisions.

"She's gave Tesla 7 years and now it’s all zero. I don’t know about you, but this sucks! It's a clear reminder of the human cost behind corporate decisions," he wrote.

The man's post saw a lot of responses, many of whom reacted to the manner of termination from Tesla.

"That's an unfortunate thing to happen to anyone. She will surely find another job. After all, it was only a job that she lost. Be it Tesla or any from the FAANG gang or any other lesser known company," one user wrote.

"This is very sad. This is the result of hire & fire policy of few organizations where these companies have never considered their employees as real asset," another user wrote.

Earlier, a Pakistani-origin woman had also penned a note on LinkedIn after being laid off from Tesla and said that despite losing her job, her face would stay on the company website as a reminder to what she had achieved during her time there.
