Ex-Tesla employee reveals shocking details on worker conditions: ‘You get fired on the spot.’

I’m curious about how far this goes.

You can’t get fired on the spot in NZ, unless you like, shot someone or set the building on fire or something really bad.

But it seems that in the US, there’s little to no protections for employees when their bosses are dickheads?

Also, any personal stories of getting fired on the spot?

    and they both have the right to terminate for any or no reason

    except there’s a bit of a power dynamic here isn’t there

      There doesn’t have to be. I don’t see or treat it that way. Yes, my employer has power over me (I’m not a business owner). As do I over them, to an extent. But it doesn’t have to be an adversarial relationship.

        But it doesn’t have to be an adversarial relationship.

        With you and your smug “I can fire them whenever I please whenever I feel like it and it’s totally not because of personal biases or prejudice, pinkie promise” statements, it is inherently an adversarial relationship.

        EDIT: Better yet, just read the room. Look at this thread. Look at everyone here who isn’t a small business tyrant like yourself. Look at how adversarial it is to all of them. If you’re invalidating their experiences, that itself is an adversarial take.

        But that’d take leaving the bubble your cop daddy placed around you since birth.

          You’re delusional. Your quote is not remotely what I said. That’s disingenuous, at best. Idgaf what the rest of the thread says. Many people can group together and be wrong; it’s fairly common. Again, I do not own a small business or any other form of business. You are utterly clueless in this conversation. You seem like a troll and will be treated as such.

            Of course you’d say that. Because, as I said, you live in a privileged bubble world.

            But I think you’re lying about that. You care enough to keep replying here, begging for someone to respect you and your very brave small business tyrant story. pathetic
