Tesla layoffs: Chinese employees say they have not received due compensation, and internal conflicts have surfaced

Recently, Tesla's layoffs have made waves in the Chinese market. According to Ms. Gu, an employee, she suffered a series of unfair treatment when she was laid off, which attracted widespread attention. Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously announced that he would lay off more than 10% of its global workforce, and the Chinese market has not been spared.
However, during the layoffs, some employees did not receive the compensation they deserved. What's going on here? Let's find out.
Ms. Gu is a sales employee at Tesla and joined the company on January 28 this year. However, only three months later, at around 3 p.m. on April 15, she suddenly received a layoff notice from the store manager. Ms. Gu said that the store manager asked her to sign the resignation application immediately and fill in the "personal reasons" to leave the company. The whole process only took 5 minutes, which made her feel very rushed and helpless.
At 10:30 p.m. that night, the owner contacted Ms. Gu again and asked her to re-sign the resignation application. The reason is that the reason for leaving the company may affect her future employment. Ms. Gu was very confused and dissatisfied, and she thought that the store manager's approach was neither reasonable nor fair.
On the afternoon of April 16, Ms. Gu asked the store manager why she had not received compensation. However, the answer she got was that it was because she had been employed for less than 3 months. Ms. Gu said that most of the employees who were laid off had received compensation, but there were a few who were in the same situation. As far as she knows, there are also 6 employees in Jiangxi who have been laid off without compensation. They feel that it is very unfair and intend to stay the course, and if they do not get a satisfactory result, they will choose labor arbitration.
This incident has aroused widespread concern and discussion. Some netizens expressed their support for the rights protection actions of Ms. Gu and others, believing that Tesla should be more fair and transparent in the process of layoffs. Some netizens also expressed sympathy for Ms. Gu's experience, thinking that she suffered such unfair treatment as a new employee, which is really chilling.
For Tesla, layoffs are about optimizing the company's structure and improving operational efficiency. However, in this process, how to protect the rights and interests of employees from being harmed is a question worth pondering. Tesla should pay more attention to the feelings and needs of its employees, and give them enough respect and care during the layoff process.
In addition, Tesla also needs to strengthen internal management to avoid encounters like Ms. Gu's. The store manager's practice of asking employees to fill in "personal reasons" to leave the company is obviously unreasonable, which not only damages the interests of employees, but also damages the company's image and reputation. Tesla should strengthen training and management, improve the professional quality and service level of employees, and provide customers with a better service experience.
In short, Tesla's layoffs have attracted widespread attention in the Chinese market. We should pay attention to the rights and interests of employees, and call on companies to be more fair and transparent in the process of layoffs. At the same time, we also hope that Tesla can strengthen internal management, improve the professional quality and service level of employees, and provide customers with a better service experience.
