Lathrop resident discusses life after Tesla layoff

- A lot of the people who worked at the Tesla factory in Fremont were commuting to work from Sacramento, Stockton, and Lathrop. One of those employees was Nico Murillo.
Thank you for featuring me on here! I appreciate it! The red Tesla is my little brothers and the white one is mine...
It was a tough decision to sell the house, but it's for a purpose! I want to retire early, and by doing this it's going to speed up the process!
Special shout out to Esteban for driving all the way to my house to get this interview done! He was a great reporter on this
Tell Elon sharesholders will vote for his $55B pay package while you Fanboyz suffer
You have a great youtube channel, I've subscribed! Thanks for the great message and attitude, and sorry for how Tesla dropped you from the company... they lost a great manager/employee in you, and so many others
Sorry to hear about your situation man. Everyone is getting laid off 😢
Layoffs are common with car companies. I live beside a dude that works at Nissan and it’s pretty common to be laid off even once a year, but he plans for it and he doesn’t whine about it.
Keep your head up buddy better days will come 🙏🙏
You know how hard I try to find employees with this guy’s attitude?
They are out there willing to work and still put on a smile.
I haven't hired my first employee yet but I have a wonderful reputation for putting people over money. Because of that I have at least five like this guy waiting for me to scale. Last, they know that I've always lived below my means. I'd give myself a pay cut and live in my car before I'd fire them.
Emplpoyees don't care about you. They don't owe you nothing. Only thing you gotta do is give them the money they worked for.
I was thinking the same thing, he plugged his new job on a news clip and told people to come in. That's some loyalty right there. This guy is going to be fine.
I've seen a lot of Tesla employees praising the company in LinkedIn
It is great that he has a positive attitude despite the negative event! Very admirable.
lol 😂 he’s crying himself to sleep! What r u talking about?
@@Buckshott_54you sound foolish af for this comment. You don’t know that man is going through. While he may not be happy he lost his job, I highly doubt he’s crying. The fact that he was working and literally sleeping on the premises for his job, and driving 1.5 hours back and forth for 5 years, this is probably the best thing for his health and well-being. He will bounce back from this.
Clout chaser, just dropped a RUclips channel
He just lost his house. How is he ok? It’s not ok. He’s just maybe showing a positive but I know deep down he’s not ok.
Yes “positive attitude” despite being financially devastated. We need to stop with the delusions and call this events what they are. 🤡
He still wearing his gear
😂😂
Elon has a hold on that g spot 😊
Trade it in bro lol. And get rid of the Tesla gear. I ain't reppin' a company that laid me off.
That’s a messed up way to find out you was laid off. I worked at Nissan in Canton, MS years ago they had a big layoff and did the same thing. A co worker of mine I met as I was heading in she stopped me and said her badge didn’t work. She asked me to check and see if mine worked and it did. Someone told her if she didn’t get the phone call about being retained then you were laid off. She broke down crying I felt terrible for her. After that I had no loyalty to any company. Miss work when I need to and attend all my childrens event when needed. These companies do not care what u have going on and what you could end up losing
This guy’s situation sucks right now. But what a fantastic attitude, sounds like ultimately he’s going to be a winner.
Owns 2 Teslas? Imagine if he actually saved his money…
He did saved his money for all of that years of work.
It's actually his brother's car
@@LeonardLuzon is that why he has to sell the house?
He get his house for 1.13M, 2 Teslas, diamond earrings, most likely yezzey on his feet. Now he has opportunity to start his career at GNC! Wow!
@waterproof864 Well, that's his choice, and he has means after saving the money. The median home price in lathrop is 739K, so the cost of living is cheaper than the Bay Area. I think it's the prudent decision to sell the house. He can do a mortgage forbearance but still has to fulfill those backpay. Why not just sell it out, save for more in the future, and enjoy the fruits of labor later?
Probably spent way over his salary.
He was only making like $84k a year though. Give the guy a break.
@@damnjustassignmeoneHe was actually making over $100k after his promotion according to his RUclips channel. So yeah he over spent and over paying on the mortgage especially buying it 2 years ago.
@@damnjustassignmeone no way you can afford that house by yourself on 84K.
Judgmental
@@8MunchenBayern8 He said on his RUclips account that makes over 100k after being promoted. Bought the house 2 years so I would think the mortgage payment and interest will be high. Plus he lives in Lathrop and houses are a little cheaper.
Great attitude he will do great
gm & FORD , should HIRE this guy right away, they will Benefit.
So he plans to sell his home and be a RUclipsr/influencer living the ‘van life’. Once he has enough followers, he can quit his job at the mall & do it full time. This was a free commercial for his channel. 😂
Yeah. For most Tesla employees, they will scorn on the brand. 5 years is not a long time to be let go.
Haha aye free marketing LETS GO!
@@NicoMurilloLMAO
So in other words, he lives paycheck to paycheck. Cool.
As do most Americans
Mind you he was making six figures at Tesla as a production supervisor.
@@King_of_Africa$84k. He said in his video
@@King_of_Africa low six figures in Cali is just getting by anyway
@@caydenthompson126actually if you follow him on you tube he stated he was making 120k per year
The guy has commitment and a good attitude. He will be fine.
Wish more people could be like him. He understands that the company doesn't owe him anything and thus he bears no ill will toward it. He will be successful in life with an attitude like that.
Are you kidding? He didn't know he was fired till he tried to enter building for his workday. That is a bunch of bs. And an embarrassment for a supposed successful company. Companies lie, cheat and steal from it's employees. You sound like a bootlicker.
He will be compensated by the company nonetheless 👍🏽.
People act like Musk is the first Oligarch to layoff employees... some historical context would help. None of them are "friends of the working person."
@@AncientReNot too sure where the problem would be based off your explanation. I would assume this would be the norm if it continues to happen. Especially when companies have to adjust.. Now.. how people feel based off the decision would vary..
Ford and GM have laid off a ton of people in the last year. Do you care about them as much? Or do you only care if Elon is involved lol. Everyone knows the answer.
@@IfOnlyItWasThatEasyit is the norm. Been happening forever . But since it’s Tesla you haters gotta cry and whine immediately.
Some people are smart enough to understand that layoffs are not only common with this economy, but they’re particularly common with car companies. Stop your hating and get real.
God will provide. Be encouraged young man your story isn’t over. Can’t wait for the YT channel!
Life is a combination of your actions and circumstances beyond your control. “God” has no part of it.
@@PKAPE004 God hasn’t forgotten about you either. Be encouraged.
You seem like a nice person but based on my life experience he's been missing in action for a long time
@@michelep9477 I prayed for you that God show up big in your life. I understand somewhere you may have lost your faith, but it don’t take much just a mustard seed worth. I have enough for me and you and I will fill in the gaps until you catch up ☺️. Be encouraged. O yea of little faith… He hasn’t forgotten about you either.
He’s very loyal to Tesla, it’s crazy how they just tossed him in the trash like he’s disposable. I’d like to follow his journey on youtube.
we're all disposable BIC lighters unless you run your own business.
Good luck to him. We all been there.
No safety nets in America 🤬
There r safety nets …food stamps,unemployment (u get $450/500 per week until u get a job), gov backed healthcare plans…it’s just not enough especially for this guy …he used to make $90k per year at Tesla
@@yihuda7459 all the above, after a waiting period, for a very limited time period 🙄
Ohhh...
And you'd better not have any assets, specifically your own home 😱
there are.... for the wealthy
New house new Tesla working at Tesla ? You gotta be making 200k to afford both of those
He makes 120k a year
He actually was making six figures as a supervisor at Tesla.
@@King_of_Africa um, he's actually not making,, ANYTHING right now haha
No that's this whole package. His cash salary is like 85 @@crush9197
Not anymore! 😭
People forget that companies and your employer have NO loyalty to you whatsoever but at the same time expect 100% loyalty from you! This man did not get a 2 week notice so why should any employee give their employer a 2 week notice. I won't be.
Right! And in 12 months when I can officially retire I am just not going to show up the next day.
Another reason not to feel bad for calling I'm aka use your pto whenever you don't want to work or taking vacations
So much for giving your all to a company that demanded more than 40 hours.
‘Living in his car’, for some reason, those words and the words ‘Tesla employee’…don’t go together for me. Something’s wrong here…very wrong.
there are MULTIPLE Tesla workers that Live in Tesla / and or RV .
they park @ Tesla.
This is common practice for many who work in the Bay Area that don't have remote option. They live in the area where he lives where housing is cheaper--actually not even cheaper. His house new was already near a million 2 years ago and he is selling it for 1.1mil now. Its that many get wooed by nice new homes and neighborhoods. $1million house close to his work and in the bay area is living in a shack or run down house with high crime area. So many make the sacrafice to buy brand new 1.5 to 2 hours away WITHOUT traffic. With traffic, its an easy 2.5 to 3 hours one way. Thats why he sleeps in the car along with many.
@@moialder252 - TINY home Trailer , less than $100k.
@@markplott4820 This is VERY frightening, if what you’re saying is considered ‘common’, it’s just bizarre. I can’t ever imagine being in this situation and being okay with it.
@@moialder252 This is scary, to have to live like that in order to remain employed…and at ‘Tesla’, for a miserable $120,000+ a year job when the area you live in only has $1.5 or $2 million dollar homes, this is so awful!
He has a great attitude. He also plugged his new job on a news and told people to come in. Didn't say anything negative and promoted his new employer. That's some loyalty right there. This guy is going to be fine.
Sorry to hear that, however with your great attitude you’ll be bless to find another job, best of luck.
Wow extremely Motivated Brother!! Keep Pushing forward!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1.5 hours commute every day? That’s insane.
Welcome to Los Angeles.
I don’t like the way this was done, so brutal. It would have been far nicer to at least let the laid off workers know about a week in advance.
No because then they'll slack off that whole week. Should know that. Folks know they're going to be out of a job in a week are not going to have their mind on the job. It happens everywhere every time.
@@jasonrabe1664So you say…not everyone is cut that way.
Look into labor laws before jumping to conclusions.
Unfortunately this is how it's done almost everywhere, especially tech jobs. Next thing you know your badge stops working.
Let me get this straight, you were fired only a few weeks ago and you have to sell your house? There's no possibility of maybe renting the rooms out to make extra money to pay for the mortgage so you don't have to do that? That would be perseverance. And to be honest, a person who needs to sell their house on their few weeks after being fired shows that the person who bought the house was extremely irresponsible. If you had to do this you were living well beyond your means to begin with and that is not Tesla's fault
I agree. But you never know what's going on personally. I had a friend in his situation and found out he was paying for his best friends moms hospital care.
@@GRehillMusic that seems like something that should have been mentioned if that were true. according to the comments here this guy has a RUclips channel that talks about trying to live a certain way. I just don't like the way it was framed as if, oh poor me I lost my job and now I have to sell my house, thanks tesla! Even though he mentioned no ill-will towards Tesla. And that he enjoyed working there.
@claytonjames4779 Don't be so quick to judge. Folks bought houses during Covid at which time, home values doubled in CA. May very well have been strategic investment, where he will net $300K from the sale, not counting his severance pkg from Tesla. Nico is crying all right, all the way to the bank.
And while he may be living out of his Tesla now, at least he'll pocket a nice chunk of change on the sale of his house, plus his severance, plus his Tesla stock options that have gone 6x since Covid. He's better off financially than a lot of ppl who do have a roof over their head. I'll have to go check out his channel.
didnt he post this on linkedin
5 years sounds like he has a spending habit
Resilient attitude. Good for him. Layoffs are the new part of the American work culture.
Yup, I was just laid off on 2/8/24. I'm 65 and only needed 12 more months for official retirement. Start a new job on 5/15/24. Once my official date comes I am done with work. I always kept socking money away for times like this. Looks like this guy needs to work for a much longer time.
TSLA stock up 1000% in the 5 years.
Feel bad for yourself for not have worked at Tesla. . This man is going places.
Lol this dude is working a GNC now. I don’t think anyone successful considers that going places.
@@javadabaron81 idk why you are laughing nothing is funny thats an unfortunate situation for someone. no need to look and "lol" at another mans life to make you feel better. Jesus loves you
@@antonios2002 I am laughing because this guy said because this man worked at Tesla the guy he is “going places”. Which is a ridiculous thing to say.
@javadabaron81 Ok, then. I think you don't get the point. This guy has a goal to be financially independent and retire early. Working in GNC is his passion/hobby side. If that's not successful to you, I don't know what is.
@@javadabaron81 You must be going places because you spend your lowly time making comments on RUclips.
One thing he won't be able to sell is the Tesla. The house in California probably appreciated by 50% over the last two years so that will give him some equity.
Good guy, hope he does well as a RUclipsr. He very optimistic about his future.
Good luck to you may man. Wish you the best
Text book definition of lifestyle inflation. Clearly living above his means
Take back the car also
I understand the confusion but…
1. He’s a production supervisor making $100k/yr
2. In 2019, the stock cost $30. It’s now trading 6x higher and is still half its all time high. He most likely had stock options, which vest after 4yrs. That equates to a ton of money.
3. He’s probably leasing the red Model 3. This includes a steep discount for employees.
Bottom line is, dude could have made MILLIONS off the stock in his time with the company. I honestly see nothing unusual here.
millions...is that why he has to well the house?
That is unusual that he may have made as much as he did. What would be the difference if he had the same job(s) at Honda or BMW.
@@longmuskox4194 it’s not unusual, I used to work for Tesla as well 2018 to 2023 and stock helped a lot of my coworkers purchase their homes including myself
@@Fraaankiee I don't work for Tesla, but the stock helped me as well. My point was if he worked for another company it most likely wouldn't have been nearly as good as he had it.
A saddening situation when people have to sale their property and still go to a cheaper way out. My prayers to him finding a new home. You don’t know people situations and shortfalls until one day it could happen to you unexpectedly. A positive image and mind set. ❤ 🙌🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
Don’t take these things personally, business is tough right now
Yeah and I do hope he finds a better job closer to home.
even when business is tough you must still go about layoffs in a fair and compassionate way
@@macunion1225 be prepared to not expect anything like that. I know the feeling of being escorted out and not being allowed to get your things. I was part of a layoff of fifty people ten years ago and they take you to HR, tell you, then escort you out. They make sure you can’t speak to anyone. Again, not personal but companies always handle this badly.
@@enriquet548 i feel for you , that sucks , our country has certain code of conduct laws so even before you are made redundant you normally know weeks in advance , those rules change if the company goes bankrupt of course , funny enough its always the US companies that try to bypass these laws
Thank you!
NO 30 Notice? by email or normal Mail? that's kind of Harsh to find out by your Employee ID NOT working
Police department in Oakland is hiring bro lol honestly if I had a good record I’d become sheriff at a county jail,
your LIFE is not worth working as Patrol Officer.
perhaps as Detective , not cop.
bruh in oakland? they make good money for sure in the 100-150K but i would be scared to go to work everyday.
Yup..in SF there's OT too...but it's scary cuz sf sherriff called on the national guard to help with inmate situation
Easier said than done,tests,app,boot camp etc,tough process 😢
Criminals have to many rights these days makes it more dangerous for law enforcement
Damm that’s suck
truly. prayers up for him
Why the house and 2 teslas if could just live in his car like he plans to do?
He needs to keep that positive enthusiasm up because when he's living in that car full-time, that's one resource you don't want to be short of. It's not like you can run down to the market and get some more if you run out.
he can literally, live out of his car, & work for UBER/Lift. to make money.
@@markplott4820Uber is more a scam. Don’t you have to pay double taxes at the end of each year?
@@markplott4820 Of course it can be done. But without positive enthusiasm, it will be extremely difficult. Many folks who resort to car living never fully recover. It's a pretty traumatic experience that takes a toll on many levels most people don't/can't see even after moving back into a building.
i dont get why people would commute one hour to work.....
Perseverance and grit is right! Good for you man you're ready. ✊🏼 thats the way to look at life not many people do.
It's not about what happens to you but what you do when something happens.
He found a great way to monetise the layoff!
Wish you the best 🙏🙏🙏
Best to this man, he deserves better. He should maybe think about leaving CA too, the state is too expensive and not worth it. 💯
I commend him! ❤ he is definitely a person that Tesla will regret letting go.
Anyone commuting 3 hours a day to and from work needs a reality check. That's crazy even if you're doing your dream job.
Nico has an extended video about his Tesla layoff on his own youtube channel. it's a must watch.
Post office is always open. Not every district is hiring for regulars though…
And they won't guarantee a full 40 hours either. Plus you have to use your own car to deliver. I could have worked for the Post Office, but they were able to call all the shots so I didn't follow through.
@@joefranks4235 Yep. Recently talked to a few post office employees and while the pay was still relatively good for them, the hours and the demand given was pretty rough.
Everybody gets laid off everyday, what m akes tesla layoffs so special?
They had the security guard do it….
That’s pretty low down even for corporations. You have to admit.
@@AbsFabbs You know it's REALLY low down when the janitors have to tell you the news.
I remember layoff in my case
Showed up for work and was denied entry
The badge with magnetic strip was off
And by by.
Just like that
They dont care i guess.
So my 2$Cents
Dont buy bcz you may have a job but like the layoff wave
Can hit any second
So buy with cash
Loans with jobs are a catch-22
@@AbsFabbs he didnt read his email.
@@AbsFabbs that's how they all do it...they locked people out of Google and FB just like Tesla
He even has Tesla swag
Is tough working and driving from the valley to the bay my dad's friend who works for tesla in fremont drives from stockton to fremont and would stay sleep in his car going days without showering and eating
Where's all the people that foresee over hiring and the instability it causes?
Inspiring story
Keep living… he is exactly right. This is part of the working experience. All business nothing personal
He will DO GREAT:) His mindset is above most and living in his vehicle in CAMP MODE= MONEY plus more MONEY:)
I got laid off in '09 from my job cause I did not relocate and got called to come back and been with the company ... ever since that experience, I am loyal to no company. I learned that it is usually a one way streak and you are just a number. I have been concentrating on not having to work in the next couple of years after building my assets.
Sorry that happen but how could you not be sorrow at telsa after they laid you off?
Because he knows if he whines, he'll never get hired again for Tesla.
lol fan boys are crazy
every company lays off people. You should not take work personally. be great-full you had the job in the 1st place.
@@timg2973do you work for Musk 😅
@@realnapster1522 how did you know? cuz i was spitting FACTS? Remember no one owes you anything in life.
I’ve watched your channel before! Wishing best of luck to you Nico, can’t wait to see your journey. Have you tried maybe start your own company? In whatever it is you do. I work in big tech but I keep trying to do my own thing to leave the rat race.
I canny findé
What he You Tooob Channul ¿¿¿¿¿
You could always sell your Tesla, I think the resale value is up to $780.
This is so sad he’s basically saying he’s going to be another homeless person in California.
Elon Musk needed that extra money for his salary increase. Good vibes to this young man.
He doesn’t get a salary. Stock options. He’s not like Mary Barra of GM who ranks in millions.
Delusional answer from obvious tesla hater.
Everyone is just a number there unless your somebody important💀 I’m surprised no one from the California auto BAR hasn’t made a visit to that factory
That’s the best part about being an employee vs an employee. You just go get another job.
Just saw his videos that led me to find the news story... it's a sad reality when companies don't care about you and reminded me of the lady who camped out at Twitter, and was part of the transition team when Elon purchased it and still got let go. Glad to see he still has a positive attitude about this and hope for nothing but the best!
This guy has tremendous technical expertise, he will be ok
An hour and a half drive to work?
That is just under what it takes to get to the side of my country 😂
Gosh too many negative comments.
Wish him well!
thats mess up management didnt have the nerves to tell them face to face but cut off their work badge n have security tell them they fired smh
rent ur rooms y sell?
That's life. That's what all the people say. You're riding high in April, shot down in May. But I know I'm gonna change that tune when I'm back on top, back on top in June.
Sounds like he is living beyond his means if he has to sell his house due to the loss of his job. This situation is really more on him than Tesla. To be fair the whole thing sounds overly dramatic so it can be news.
Dedicated to a company not dedicated to you. I feel bad for this guy.
Security guard told him he was let go....does not make sense. There are policies....
Was living way above his means. That Tesla even if he bought it with employer discount probably has close to 300k miles with that crazy commute for 5 years from lathrop to Fremont. Car is basically worthless, nobody wants a high mileage Tesla. So underwater on his car plus mortgage. Yikes
He likes how luxury the tesla looks 😂 LOL.
C’mon guys Elon needs his 55 billion dollars salary don’t be so greedy now please
i work for a contractor of fedex ground. here the workers lay themselves off by choice. have our rights and protections as workers stripped away.
Good attitude. Terrible financial decisions.
Companies don’t care about your story or the fact you sleep in your car or drive their vehicle.
Or instead of selling the house. You could sell the cars. Get a salvage title car Honda Civic, preferably. And you’ll be good to go. I did the same thing two years ago and I’m still living nice!
Kids a hustler. I mean that in a good way respect his grind
Lmaooo this sh*t is like the saddest parody ever. “Lost my house but I got a car to sleep in” 😂😂😂
I knw right
Unless he has a loan on the car.
Stay positive put that linked in account to good use. Your experience can land you another winning opportunity.
At the end of the day you’re nothing but a number in a warehouse. Doesn’t matter how loyal you are to them, they aren’t loyal to you…
I remember working at a cannabis start up. It was a dream job. Yacht parties meeting celebrities like Carlos Santana and then boom Jay Z bought the company and I was out of a job. Went to Tesla after but glad I quit because I would’ve probably gotten laid off. I wouldn’t be able to take that twice. Now I work at food factory. It pays the bills but they have recently closed some factories so who knows. I just hope that our next president makes more jobs. Like open up some refineries in Santa Rosa ca so that I could stop commuting for an hour+
Life is tough.
He didn’t buy the house he borrowed the money haha
Wow-it’s called life. None of us are guaranteed work for any duration of time. Employers have zero loyalty to employees. It’s business. All been there before.
Lol he better have shares at least
Dang… well at he had the news promote his RUclips channel coming up.
He could work at Chic Fil A, $22 an hour 🤷🏻♂️
We may not earn as much here in Europe, but at least we got some mandotory settlement.
Dang!! That's messed up. The pay for him will never be the same! 😮
He lived in California Those wages for a High tech Supervisor are Common. My guess he was working about 60 hour a week minimum. Tesla is known for doing that. His pay was not all that great considering the amount of hours he was probably working and living in a very expensive state.
@@eduardomaldonado1647 I live in California too San Francisco to be exact and I could never work for those types of companies!. I'm a housekeeper for a private estate and make $55 an hour if over time I make $88 an hour!
