As surmised, there was no grand strategy in laying off the entire supercharger team. It was a rage firing because an exec defied a layoff order and now Tesla has to beg these people to return now their CEO’s calmed down.

When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

@carnage4life surely they can all get better offers from other automakers

@matunos @carnage4life People have the right to make their own choices about employment, and I'm sure the disruption has been lucrative for those returning to work for Tesla.

But man, you have to know it's going to happen again. Talk about a red flag.

@carnage4life the terms gonna be lit or at least they should be

@carnage4life It’s also a bit of a scream test. It “worked” for him at Twitter so why should he change his ways? Sigh

I feel very sorry for any of them who have no choice but to return because of their economic and family situation.

@carnage4life Could you possibly alt text the picture please?

@carnage4life
And who should be surprised?
Absolutely no one.
He should be removed from any management role.

I do have this one in mind for some reason! #teamwork
@carnage4life Wait, an exec refused a layoff order? I wish the company I work at had some of those.
