Last month, the electric vehicle maker had announced a 10 percent reduction in its global workforce, following which the firm fired senior executives and nearly 500 team members of its Supercharger business.
Tesla s recent layoffs, including an Indian techie, have sparked controversy. The techie, who was promoted just a month before, faced unexpected termination due to restructuring. The layoffs are part of Tesla s efforts to reduce its workforce by 10% amid sales challenges. Jatin Saini, the techie s brother, criticized Tesla for its lack of transparency and empathy in the process. Despite the layoffs, Tesla s shares saw a 1.97% gain on 7 May, reaching USD 184.76.
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.
According to the media report, employees at Tesla received emails over the weekend informing them of the layoffs as part of broader workforce reductions., Companies News - Times Now
