After announcing at the beginning of the month that it would be cutting 10 percent of its workforce due to CEO Musk's bad feeling about the economy, the job cuts are in full swing. Many newer employees, including workers who had not even begun their newly-accepted positions, are bearing the brunt of mass layoffs.
Iain Abshier wrote about a gut punch in a post last week. After just two weeks of work, I was included in the layoffs of the company.
It's worth noting that these cuts come amid a recall investigation intoTesla's controversial autopilot technology, not to mention reports of widespread braking issues, leaving the company's long term viability more ambiguous than it's been in years
People have found themselves in very dangerous situations. If Mansi is unable to find a new job within the month, she will lose her student visa.
Another employee told Insider that they didn't get to see firing metrics.
"They said that layoffs were based on performance reviews but that is not true because I had only been at the company for a few months and had yet to have performance goals set or a performance review," said the manager. They wouldn't tell me what metrics they used.

Musk's job cuts begin as he lays off workers who only just started.
