That is because sheep think there is some sort of law that requires them to give two weeks notice. Your company "wanting" two weeks notice is not legally binding as you are considered an "At-Will" employee in the USA, with the exception of Montana. Being an "At -Will" employee is also the reason they are able to fire you or lay you off without notice and without cause. If you had a legally binding contract with the company, such as a Union or a personal agreement you signed, the terms and conditions would most likely be written into the contract.
Companies are becoming more heartless. Cutting people is understandable, but letting people who work for your company go by email and being locked out is a trash thing to do.

@@timg2973 it can be literally written in the union contract that a company will not and can not have lay offs! Depending on what is negotiated.

Fight and negotiate for its workers so they could live near the plant instead of having to live in Modesto or somewhere in the valley and have to commute to Fremont.

Not true. Not if your growth is in a sector that these employees aren't skilled at. Maybe growth means building a different car that is built in a different plant nowhere close to Texas. You would lay off workers in Texas and hire workers elsewhere. This happens with ALL big companies but is only commented on because the media has a hate stiffy for Elon.

As an employer, I can tell you that employees do not understand how business works. If they did, they would probably be entrepreneurs. It can be vey difficult to run a profitable business and there are many challenges that are unknown to the employees. There were times when first starting in my business, I had to borrow money to make payroll. There were times I couldn’t pay my mortgage. You do everything to help your employees, then, when you have to lay someone off, you’re an evil person, or you’re stupid, or you don’t know how to run a business. So I say, go start your own business.
Nothing worse than attending a meeting, and told at the end of the meeting to check you email to see if you still have a job. Everyone rushes back to their desk and logs into their account. Then you ID no longer opens the gate the next morning. So simple for the managers, no fuss no muss, no facing those pesky ex employees, I happened to me.
the problem is when these car companies start laying off employees this way the quality of the cars go down the drain no way in hell would I buy one of these cars after this.
I happen to know someone who was laid off at this very location. He relocated to Texas for this job and his wife just had their daughter not even 6 months ago. They are looking at moving back to SC and he has a new job lined up at BMW. Screw Tesla.
he made a bet. he bet that within 10 years he would take Tesla's value from 65 billion to 650 billion and other goals.

That's true. I was in Houston last year for a week. Driving around I could see about 4-5 Teslas in the entire week of driving. In California, about 25% of the cars on the road are Tesla. Even two of my friend overpaid their Model 3 ($70k) to drive them, one living in an apartment, the other in a mobile home. California tech hippies.
I think the EV market is done for. People still want gasoline powered vehicles regardless of what politicians are saying. Combustion engines were the greatest invention ever. They allow you to travel freely, where as EV's are limited to charging stations only.
You cant make gas at home. You have to buy it from a large corporation or your car becomes a paperweight. At least with an electric car you can charge it with power from the solar panels on your own house. Thats freedom
@@nczioox1116 They don't have charging stations on the back roads do they? Only on major highways. That's not freedom! If I want to travel on the backs roads I need a gas powerd vehicle. You drive a EV and I'll drive a ICE. But I'll bet you I have more fun than you do!
@van6278 I drive an ICE but my next car will be an EV cause I know that gas engines means you are in indentured servitude to the oil and gas companies, OPEC, oil brokers, etc.
No, that's what happens when your try to unionize after being told it's a non-union company. The efforts to unionize Tesla are underhanded and this is the result. Stop trying to force people.
That's also what happens to UAW workers in any state. Layoffs happen. Do you pay attention to any other car companies besides Tesla? Ford just laid off 1400 workers from their F150 Lightning plant. Why no tears for them?
A dude who use to be an advisory at the Honda service department use to always say he wanted to work for Tesla. I wonder did he ever go and worked for Tesla
Layoffs are common in manufacturing, especially in the automobile industry. I grew up in metro Detroit, the home of the big three U.S. auto companies. From the late sixties and onward , layoffs when common. If sales were falling, or there was the slightest economic downturn, workers lost their jobs. Finally many of the factories closed, leaving thousands of people out of work.
As bad as these layoffs are theres lot of people who've been laid off from these past couple years that don't get any screen time 🙏 praying for y'all out there
Only if its a non democrat company or CEO, if it would have been GM you would barely hear a pep and it would be touted as a good thing that was much needed.

Wow, 10 out of 100 people at the Cyprus dealership laid off with a 60d severance, will Houston ever be able to recover from this hard hit? Thoughts and prayers!
That’s a pretty sorry way to lay people off. You could at least call them in your office and talk to them and lay them off not having to show up for work and be locked out. Plus, he should have to pay every single one of them that came from another state to relocate them and give them all huge layoff bonuses.
i hate going in to work just to find out i have to drive home what a waist of time. last time i was fired i was getting dressed to come in they called saved me two hours of travel time yes please send email. also do you want to sit there and have 14000 conversations to lay people off?
A lot of the people let go at the warehouse in Fremont where always showing up late, calling out every pay week, or they had a bunch of discipline actions. I’m not some fan boy of Elon I actually used to work there being on time and showing up are two of the biggest requirements some of these people know why they were fired. Tesla is not a union based job there’s no one to help you but people sure do move and treat the job like it is.
Well, they're getting 2 months' severance pay. Many companies give 2 weeks pays, or nothing at all. They should be able to find something in 2 months, and they can also apply for unemployment in the meantime. Companies are not charities. Their primary focus is always going to be their bottom line. God is the only one in this world that we can trust to never let us down or fail us. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He'll make a way when there's no way.🕊
So they can lash out and do something at the job. 😂😂 you people are crazy and cant see the outcome of your logic ever. People can sabotage cars or do harm to someone, better to lock the doors. You won't get it because your bain won't let you think outside the box.
They got a 60 day notice. They aren't being let go for 2 more months. They will still be getting paid to not come into work. Why is that a bad thing? Would you rather know that you're getting canned and still have to go to work for the next two months?
It’s not your dream job but Metropolitan transit authority METRO for short is hiring for bus operators. The starting pay is $23 and some change paid weekly. Something is better than nothing.
This is why we need unions. This could have never happened to a union employee. At the very least they would have received a 60 day notice to start preparing for another job
I thought most of the jobs are in Austin? Why are people in Houston affected? If anything, those workers will come to Houston to find work. That’s where the jobs are.
Read between the lines. If this news gave Tesla a bad publicity they had their chance to respond. But Tesla does not have a PR department so it is highly unlikely there will be any official response (except a tweet from Elon telling “fake news to go f themselves)
@@OnWisconsin33 OK go Bucky!!! Seriously, Elon did not build this on his own!

The quality is junk and the interior looks like it was designed by amateurs which it really was! If anyone is dumb enough to buy one - then they deserve everything coming their way!!
There he zero loyalty from these corporations. Don’t sacrifice your health or time remaining loyal for them when they will drop you at the drop of a hat. Wish all those laid off well and securing new employment.

THE VAST MAJORITY DONT WANT ELECTRIC CARS !!!!!!!!!!!
No one buys Tesla in Texas 😹 and California help him but he bites the one that find him last Tesla sink.
That's true. I was in Houston last year for a week. Driving around I could see about 4-5 Teslas in the entire week of driving. In California, about 25% of the cars on the road are Tesla. Even two of my friend overpaid their Model 3 ($70k) to drive them, one living in an apartment, the other in a mobile home. California tech hippies.
A failed company
How much or how many is exactly 10%??
14,000.00
2-3 more tech and he said he is hiring a lot. Lolz. The scale of their vocabulary.
So what they made a car mass production for something only able to be bought by 10%
Number one selling car in the entire world in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y. Second was the Toyota RAV4 and third was the Toyota Corolla.
And 80% of that 10% wont buy one because of musk
@@OnWisconsin33mostly because of rental car companies. Which now are actually dumping many of the cars.
@@damham5689there is nothing wrong with Musk. Nobody cares about "mean tweets"
@@thedopplereffect00True. Only liberal sheep that have been programmed by the woke media hate Musk. He is the enemy of the far lefties.
I think the EV market is done for. People still want gasoline powered vehicles regardless of what politicians are saying. Combustion engines were the greatest invention ever. They allow you to travel freely, where as EV's are limited to charging stations only.
gas car sales are down over 50% since 2019
You cant make gas at home. You have to buy it from a large corporation or your car becomes a paperweight. At least with an electric car you can charge it with power from the solar panels on your own house. Thats freedom
@@nczioox1116 They don't have charging stations on the back roads do they? Only on major highways. That's not freedom! If I want to travel on the backs roads I need a gas powerd vehicle. You drive a EV and I'll drive a ICE. But I'll bet you I have more fun than you do!
@van6278 I drive an ICE but my next car will be an EV cause I know that gas engines means you are in indentured servitude to the oil and gas companies, OPEC, oil brokers, etc.
@@timg2973 No they aren't. Where did you pull that number from?
He got your money! Haha.
Hey KPRC! Basic English lesson of the day: The verb is to lay off, two words. Layoff is a noun or adjective.
Employees can quit whenever they want. Companies can lay off whenever they want. What’s the problem?
that's what happens to non-union workers in a right-to-work state!
No, that's what happens when your try to unionize after being told it's a non-union company. The efforts to unionize Tesla are underhanded and this is the result. Stop trying to force people.
That's also what happens to UAW workers in any state. Layoffs happen. Do you pay attention to any other car companies besides Tesla? Ford just laid off 1400 workers from their F150 Lightning plant. Why no tears for them?
A dude who use to be an advisory at the Honda service department use to always say he wanted to work for Tesla. I wonder did he ever go and worked for Tesla
Dude has a great attitude. Wishing Jake the best.
These companies do it to the low hanging fruit and bottom preformers
Layoffs are common in manufacturing, especially in the automobile industry. I grew up in metro Detroit, the home of the big three U.S. auto companies. From the late sixties and onward , layoffs when common. If sales were falling, or there was the slightest economic downturn, workers lost their jobs. Finally many of the factories closed, leaving thousands of people out of work.
As bad as these layoffs are theres lot of people who've been laid off from these past couple years that don't get any screen time 🙏 praying for y'all out there
All I have been hearing is the job market is doing great. It sure doesn’t look like it.
How does a dozen jobs in Houston hit hard?
To be fair, he said dozens, plural...
@@cawheeler27 Could be as few as 24 people. It's hard to tell.
Musk! Gotta love you him, right? Eh, Texas? Musk, we’re so glad you moved outta Cali.
Musk should do what he told his Twitter advertisers to do!
Hopefully the Tesla repair shop will train them to use PPE
In Germany the factory opened 2 years ago. Unsold cars are now parked near the polish border.
Wow, even lay offs are prime time news.
Only if its a non democrat company or CEO, if it would have been GM you would barely hear a pep and it would be touted as a good thing that was much needed.
But hey he's asking for his 56 million pay day by the board
56 Billion... with a B
he made a bet. he bet that within 10 years he would take Tesla's value from 65 billion to 650 billion and other goals. No one company in history has ever done that. if he failed he agreed he will not get one penny from the company. He has not been paid a single check since 2018. shareholders agreed to it.
Wow, 10 out of 100 people at the Cyprus dealership laid off with a 60d severance, will Houston ever be able to recover from this hard hit? Thoughts and prayers!
Musk just getting rid of the DEI hires 🤷🏽♂️
I didn't think Tesla did DEI?
Don't you get tired of being wrong
@@thedopplereffect00 they slip by,
@richardmesser1091 You answering. Means I'm right! 😎
Musk's big mouth is hurting his car company.
then why is all the other companies doing the same?
Elon, "B@#!% better have mah munny!"
That’s a pretty sorry way to lay people off. You could at least call them in your office and talk to them and lay them off not having to show up for work and be locked out. Plus, he should have to pay every single one of them that came from another state to relocate them and give them all huge layoff bonuses.
They're all getting 60 days pay and some are also getting buyout packages.
Start your own company and do it 😂
i hate going in to work just to find out i have to drive home what a waist of time. last time i was fired i was getting dressed to come in they called saved me two hours of travel time yes please send email. also do you want to sit there and have 14000 conversations to lay people off?
Its the private sector, welcome to reality.
Fired by email in the middle of the night, heartless cowards.
Family stay safe this world getting crazier by the day 🙏🤎🦋
A lot of the people let go at the warehouse in Fremont where always showing up late, calling out every pay week, or they had a bunch of discipline actions. I’m not some fan boy of Elon I actually used to work there being on time and showing up are two of the biggest requirements some of these people know why they were fired. Tesla is not a union based job there’s no one to help you but people sure do move and treat the job like it is.
I guess Elon telling everyone to F themselves may have had some blowback?
Well, they're getting 2 months' severance pay. Many companies give 2 weeks pays, or nothing at all.
They should be able to find something in 2 months, and they can also apply for unemployment in the meantime.
Companies are not charities. Their primary focus is always going to be their bottom line.
God is the only one in this world that we can trust to never let us down or fail us. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He'll make a way when there's no way.🕊
Restructure so they can higher new people at lower pay 🤦💯💯
E-mail - straight forward, simpler and safer. 2 months pay and benefits is really good. What is there to cry about? It’s a job. It comes and it goes.
Tesla knew about this months ago at least give the employees a 90 day notice at least 60 day notice????
They ARE getting paid for 60 days. Engage brain before mouth.
So they can lash out and do something at the job. 😂😂 you people are crazy and cant see the outcome of your logic ever. People can sabotage cars or do harm to someone, better to lock the doors. You won't get it because your bain won't let you think outside the box.
The law calls out two months notice without benefits. Layoff overnight,the employer provides two months of benefits.
They got a 60 day notice. They aren't being let go for 2 more months. They will still be getting paid to not come into work. Why is that a bad thing? Would you rather know that you're getting canned and still have to go to work for the next two months?
It’s not your dream job but Metropolitan transit authority METRO for short is hiring for bus operators. The starting pay is $23 and some change paid weekly.
Something is better than nothing.
How about a complete overhaul of the CEO position? It's been more than 5 years now Elon, time to leave!
This is why we need unions. This could have never happened to a union employee. At the very least they would have received a 60 day notice to start preparing for another job
Yessir
A dozen people laid of in a city of 4 million people. This is so tragic. 😂😂
A dozen, don't be so slow
Is it poaching if they are already fired/layed off? Start ups you found your new work force.
I thought most of the jobs are in Austin? Why are people in Houston affected? If anything, those workers will come to Houston to find work. That’s where the jobs are.
Service technicians.
Your jobs have gone to Mexico!
No. Sales have peaked
Will a wall help
No India
Tesla does not have to respond to u...companies lay off all the time..
Read between the lines. If this news gave Tesla a bad publicity they had their chance to respond. But Tesla does not have a PR department so it is highly unlikely there will be any official response (except a tweet from Elon telling “fake news to go f themselves)
Elon musk doesn’t care, all he care is hi$ bottom line
I wish I got two months of pay and benifits when I was layed off.
😂😂
Right.
Allbi ever got was 🍆🍆
Do not buy battery vehicles! Tell your elected officals to stop forcing this stupidity on the public!!!
Number one selling car in the entire world in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y. Second was the Toyota RAV4 and third was the Toyota Corolla.
@@OnWisconsin33
OK go Bucky!!!
Seriously, Elon did not build this on his own! The EPA mandated legacy car companies to meet clean air emissions and forced them to pay Tesla hundreds of millions each quarter to buy carbon credits! That along with taxpayers funded tax incentives to buyers drove the market!
So stop the lies about the best selling car on the planet! The quality is junk and the interior looks like it was designed by amateurs which it really was! If anyone is dumb enough to buy one - then they deserve everything coming their way!!
I’m sorry, did Texas think that big tech moving in wouldn’t do EXACTLY the same things they did in California?!? lol
The worst part is they didn’t offer any severance package.
There he zero loyalty from these corporations. Don’t sacrifice your health or time remaining loyal for them when they will drop you at the drop of a hat.
Wish all those laid off well and securing new employment.
Prob bc ppl got a dose of reality with the snow storms hit and then the charging station was word that the gash shortage 🤣 ... this is why I was all about the old skool cars. The battery tech isn't there yet and now ppl know why. Batteries are not good in extreme temps -hot or cold. So unless you live in the best weather temps available, reality will hit you hard.
