Tesla fires hundreds after company-wide performance reviews

Nice! ^^^^

 

I wouldnt be surprised if this situation comes back to bite Tesla in the rear. My wife does HR work in California, and it is very challenging to terminate employees. California has its own set of employment laws and they are in the favor of the employee.

+1 on tbone's assessment. You can't just terminate somebody because of a bad review. In our litigious corporate environments its actually VERY hard to terminate somebody for marginal performance. A verbal warning comes first (with notes taken by the manager and copied to HR) then a first written warning typically with some type of performance intervention plan, then a 30 followup on that, THEN if performance does not improve, another written warning. Usually 2 warnings with the 3 being a termination notice. All this has to be documented to HR in great detail.

I'm sure you guys know all this but I used to work for a global telecom firm (Chef is a second career) and was involved in too many terminations that I want to admit to. Telecom was pretty cut throat in those days and CWA was very active and involved in cases of wrongful termination. We had one guy who was terminated FOR CAUSE and 90 days later showed up as a consultant in another part of the company. We found out and he was escorted out by police.
