According to this report, layoffs at the brand would be about to arrive in this new difficult stage for the brand.
This is Tesla's first move regarding future employee layoffs. And, according to this report, layoffs at the brand would be about to arrive in this new difficult stage for the brand. Those responsible for Tesla are beginning to wonder which positions are essential, and which are not.
In this way, the best-known electric vehicle manufacturer on the planet has begun to ask those responsible for its teams if all positions are essential. They say they would be wondering which jobs are crucial for the company.
This report was advanced by Bloomberg last week, which suggests that it could be the beginning of the end for many employees. The same media assures that meetings with employees have been canceled pending an analysis of their performance.
The reports would come from people with knowledge of the brand and those responsible for some departments. In this way, the company prepares for an exhaustive analysis of certain positions that would not be providing the necessary performance or that could simply be eliminated.
As four workers at the electric car firm explained to Business Insider, employees can only qualify for a promotion or bonus once every twelve months. And performance reviews are held twice a year.
And we already know that Musk doesn't mess around. The businessman had no problems firing half of Twitter's staff after the controversial purchase of the social network at the end of 2022. A move that took away many employees.
Likewise, last year there was talk of exhaustive reviews of new hires at the firm. In addition, Elon Musk himself said that each new position would be analyzed, this being a possible symptom of a reduction in personnel hiring.
It is also important to remember that Musk himself announced that employees would be “on the line” while trying to increase the production of their electric vehicles. All this after announcing a decline in sales this year, with a disappointing financial report.
And this comes after allocating investment in advertising campaigns and lowering the price of their vehicles. A move that it made for the first time and that served to sell more cars, but the Chinese car manufacturers “tighten the squeeze” and the reign of the American firm is faltering.
Despite this, the Tesla Model Y has become the most popular car on the European continent, being the first time that a 100% electric model has been placed in this position. The model has exceeded 255,000 units among the 30 registered European markets.
The same SUV has surpassed the Dacia Sandero, one of the most popular cars in Europe, by around 19,000 units. A ranking where we find other models with high sales volume such as the Peugeot 208 and the Volkswagen T-Roc. Without a doubt, very popular cars on the old continent.
