He is not the only one who was let go while he was on vacation.
When Roosevelt Jointer got a phone call from his boss saying he was going to be let go immediately, he was on vacation.
In a legal declaration seen by Insider, Jointer stated that he didn't receive any advance notice that he would lose his job. No one at the company ever raised any concerns about my performance.
The ex-Tesla employee said that he was told during the call that he would only get one week of pay and two months of health insurance. He didn't want to sign.
Jointer's declaration was filed as evidence in a lawsuit against the company by two other former employees.
Along with Jointer's sworn declaration, five other former employees plus Hartfield and Lynch recounted in the suit how the company mishandled their dismissals.
The suit claims that the company tried to control ex-employees by using language in their severance offers that prevented them from suing the company.
