As rumors of potential layoffs at Tesla continue to circulate, employees are on edge and anxiously awaiting any official communication from the company. Seven engineers from various Tesla facilities have expressed their concerns about job losses, with some reporting that cuts could start as soon as Sunday.
While some workers have heard chatter about layoffs, others are not taking the rumors seriously. Despite no official communication from Tesla, employees are vigilantly monitoring any signs of potential job cuts, especially after seeing other companies in the tech industry make staff reductions this year.
This is not the first time anxiety about layoffs has spread at Tesla. In February, managers were instructed to identify crucial roles within the company while performance reviews for some workers were delayed. With recent challenges such as a decline in first-quarter deliveries and layoff trends in the tech industry, employees are on high alert for any signs of potential job losses.
Tesla’s recent challenges include a 20% decrease in deliveries compared to the previous quarter and an 8% drop from the same period the previous year.
