He has gained a very valuable set of skills. from the company. Every job can end at a moments notice, you could be fired for doing something wrong, they need to cutback to save the company, etc. You should always be saving your money and have a slush fund in case you lose your job. Unemployment may not cover all of your bills if you have overextended yourself. 0:01 There is no reason why he has to sell his house-he could easily rent it out. From what he was saying, his mortgage is very low-$1000.00 per month plus everything else, he is paying about 2000 a month for his home which he could easily get if he rented it.

I worked at Tesla in 2017. As much as it was very cool and fun to work there (I worked as a Test Driver), I was concerned of the hardcore employees that went beyond the call of duty for the company. I told them to be a dedicated employee and do the job what you’re paid for. But also I informed many of the younger workers that layoffs can happen so don’t be pissed off. Anyhow, many got laid off back in 2017. But with the cycle of layoffs, Tesla will hire people back depending which department has the needs. For any young people, work hard and smart. No need to be loyal to your employer as it’s just business. Do the work you were hired to do, build your financial foundation, and make sound decisions in life. The journey of life has lots of twist and turns, but life goes on.

Companies will lay people off in tough economic conditions. I don’t understand why this is surprising. The business has only recently become profitable it has the obligation to keep itself alive. If earnings continue to fall, investors will divest and Tesla will go out of business. There’s no promise that Tesla will succeed. Be happy that you live in a country where you can find work, basically, anywhere to get you by in the short term. Stop crying. I’ve been working two jobs on and off for three years because of the current state of the economy. I’ve cut personal expenses down. I’m learning new skills. Just get to work.

The worker should not work there, this news report is a whistle blowing

Keeping his car 🚗 🤡.. Sell my house live in a car.. You ever heard of savings!!! B.S. tell the truth!!🤣☝💯

Sleeping in a car for a job is a concerning trend that not only distorts the job market but also highlights a deeper issue with societal values. This practice often arises from extreme financial pressures and a competitive job market, where individuals are willing to sacrifice comfort and health for employment. However, this behavior provides a skewed perception of the job's true demands and value, potentially misleading others about the realities of such positions. Moreover, it reflects a problematic shift in life values, where money is increasingly worshipped as the ultimate goal rather than a means to an end. This desperation keeps salaries low, as employers capitalize on the willingness of some to go to extreme lengths for work. It's crucial for society to reassess these norms and strive for a balance where financial stability does not come at the cost of health and dignity.
