I can’t imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.
Just when you thought this couldn’t get any more stupid.

But he just gave them all the power. He needs them. They can demand higher wages, better conditions, etc.
Nah. They now know he can fire them again.
If they’re smart, they’ll “work” for him while preparing to jump ship.
What are the job titles of the people on these teams? I would suppose physics and CS. How are those job sectors looking in terms of vacancies? I’d think that there are more workers than jobs and that this is a ploy to get less experienced people for cheaper but they’re trying to rehire the same employees.
Are these really CS and physics jobs?
Go back with a decent pay bump (obviously he needs them) and with a plan to bolt ASAP. Continue your job search while you collect a higher temporary salary.
Terrible move from Elon as it shows he has no negotiating power.
I’d only do this if I was desperate. The company already showed they are willing to just pull the trigger at the drop of a hat and don’t give a fuck, even if I was still looking I’d be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I’d go back if the pay bump was enough to cover anxiety about job uncertainty
Oh yea, but you’re already mentally out the door. You take extra cash and you just collect “easy money” while you shop around the resume or get you big moving plans finished up.
You could even take the job and see how hard you can half-ass it (extra points of you do literally no work) before they fire you again.
“This is the single greatest talent acquisition opportunity since I founded EnviroSpark. Tesla had been able to scale their charging infrastructure due in no small part to the talented employees on the Supercharger team.”
Half of them likely already have another job.
Considering it is only weeks after the government decided the entire EV industry has to use what the former employees created and ran…
What do you mean? The US is switching to NACS which is a standardized plug, Tesla superchargers will not be the only charging network to use it.
Wrong button, oops. Lol #420
Were they trying to start a union or something?
They would have to pay me a lot of money to work at a company that lays off and rehires workers on a whim.
I’d go back, put my feet on the desk and collect a little walkin around money, basically daring them to fire me again…
I’d go back and introduce enough backdoors to make them utterly incapable of staying in business. Steal all the documents. Then steal things. Then talk my way into being fired. Then start popping off the backdoors one at a time. Post all the documents for free. Something something shorting the stock.
So, jailtime then.
That or be scum enough to frame someone else for it.
Good ol’ Nole. That guy’s always up to no good.
if you need to work for someone else, you’re not rich enough to flaunt laws that way and avoid jail
They should just start their own Supercharger company… With blackjack and hookers
I suspect that somebody’s smart, with a lot of money and not a lot of scruples (not that it’s a factor here, I just hate rich people) is going to scoop them all up and either try to replace the standard, or if Elon is lucky, license it and leave the standard alone. Elon’s not that smart though so he probably wouldn’t agree to it.
They wouldn’t even need to license it, part of getting the other car manufacturers to switch to NACS was establishing it as an open standard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_Standard

Moral of the story: kids, be born rich and then you can live in a mansion and eat bath salts!
A mansion, or a shipping container.

Wait, so…
- Lives in a shipping container
- Obviously on drugs
- Receives welfare from the government
- Screams racist shit at strangers
Is… is Elon Musk a hobo?
spoiler
sdfsaf
It’s crazy how the US gov basically handed him a monopoly on EV charging infrastructure, something Rockefeller could have only dreamed of, and the guy throws it away less than two weeks later in some ketamine fuelled stupor. Then has to backtrack at the cost of reputation, confidence, and sentiment. Truly another great stable genius.
He is a textbook example of Fail Upwards.
It helps if you start with a bunch of slavery money.
This is just getting stupid now. It seems Elon has totally lost his mind.
he’s the ‘ceo’ of like 6 companies. Its clear he’s spending all his time giving neonazis handjobs on xitter
Should just start referring to them as part time jobs. How much work can they be if he’s supposedly doing multiple at once?
For less probably.
Why would anyone go back for less?
Depends on their prospects.
For example right this moment, if my employer pulled this on me with a 10% pay cut, it’s probably still better than my prospects in the open market at this moment. I would normally have a pretty strong network of connections, but at the moment they are all in hiring freezes, so I’d probably have to take a huge pay cut to find a job.
But you would be sure I’d be heavily watching my chances and leave as soon as I had a competitive offer on the table.
It’s a common practice for companies to lay off high priced employees and then post those jobs for a lower amount. Why would they go back? If they’re smart they won’t. But some people need a job—at least until they can find another job.
It’s a bad practice either way, because these employees won’t ever feel their job is secure again, and that makes them care less about how the company does… as it should.
It blew me away when I met these people. These real “keep your head down” folks.
When my company laid people off, and then did the shitty thing of rehire them back at a freelancing level, one gal cried tears of happiness that she was given another chance.
I just dont understand it. Like going back to your abuser.
Did they not get severance?
I highly doubt these are generic wage slaves, I am would assume they can get jobs else where?
If they can’t negotiate a fat raise under these circumstances, I am not really sure these people can negotiate at all lol
You’d be surprised how many people lack negotiation skills. They think whatever is offered is what they get. I’ve coached many coworkers on how to play hardball with a smile.
chad… good. plebs helping plebs fuck daddy :D
Damn right. I love my company, but we have the money to pay well. I don’t want anyone working with me who feels like they are underpaid. We moved offices and it became a much longer commute for one of our juniors. I kept harassing my manger to give him a bump for the effort. He wouldn’t have taken the job with that commute, so we had to sweeten it for him. My manager said “his review is 6 months away” and I said “it’s not a raise, it’s for the inconvenience to his life.” Got him 10%—and got none of the credit, haha. But that’s okay, I feel good.
My brother in business, I see you.
Once had to ask why the only woman our team was making significantly less. Got a shrug back from the HR director, a woman. I couldn’t believe that I had to fight her to bring compensation in line.
It’s not JUST the billionaires that are the problem. It’s really all the people that need to feel they’re somehow above others.
Double salary. Work from home. EZ.
