    I don’t think that law means what you think it means. They can just give you 60 days severance, they are not required to have you keep working.

    Also, I would not be surprised if they extensively use contractors, which don’t have the same protections.

    Then again, this is Musk, who reneged on his Twitter severance plans and got sued. So he very well could be trying to pull some bullshit again.

      These aren’t programmers where severance is better (you don’t want a toxic programmer messing up your codebase). These are factory workers who would have been productive if they kept working.

      IE: This is a stealth factory idle. Likely because of how much the sales have dropped for Tesla. This is IMO very bad news for what Tesla expects in the near future for their sales / revenues / profits.
