Always remember...layoffs come in 2 waves. The first wave is involuntary. The second wave is voluntary, as the people with talent see the handwriting on the wall and jump ship.

I think of it as a subscription service... managers shouldn't remind employees on the deals of their labor subscription. Because they could easily look at the market and decide to cancel for a more favorable labor subscription deal.

Soon they will replace them with robots writing on the wall.

Wait . . . If we fire everyone . . .

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

It's ok, ai can do all the work!

/s obviously

[-] Croquette 17 points 2 months ago

It would probably have done a better job for the cybertruck.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

He probably thinks his robots can do all the work, another thing prophesied by The Simpsons.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Literally what he did with the cars. "If we don't put good technology in them we don't have to pay for anything!".

Same with Twitter.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

At this point I think Elon might know more about management than anyone currently alive on Earth!

[-] Imgonnatrythis 7 points 2 months ago

He does! Just ask him.

[-] [email protected] 84 points 2 months ago

What the fuck is going on at this company

[-] [email protected] 94 points 2 months ago

the cancellation of the model 2 for the cybertruck may have been the worst possible decision tesla went through maybe.

[-] [email protected] 69 points 2 months ago

Not as bad as choosing not to use lidar for their automated driving, but pretty close.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 2 months ago

Well, to remove LiDAR, as it was in place at first

[-] gravitas_deficiency 16 points 2 months ago

That will never stop being hilarious to me lol

How Can Our Eyes Be Real And Cameras Not Be Sufficient For Autonomous Driving

[-] gravitas_deficiency 3 points 2 months ago

It’s just… incredibly dumb. Because the problem is not the optics. The problem is making a control system that more or less replicates a “normal” human response pattern, but then got regulated and litigated to hell and back, plus some helpful navigation suggestions based on correlation of user location data to advertising partners in partner-defined geographic and social media and demographic targeting nets, plus the fucking legion of weird edge case bugs that have probably crept in at some point in the process.

At the same time, every once in a while, one should pause and consider how important it is to always look on the bright side of life

[-] Tar_alcaran 10 points 2 months ago

But we don't need LIDAR! Humans don't have lidar, and they can drive! All you need to do is replicate millions of years of evolution in a few years and you're done!

[-] Corkyskog 14 points 2 months ago

Selling. Companies make worthless concept designs all the time

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

TIL, what a joke. Based on a quick search it was merely cost cutting, they are idiots

[-] [email protected] 59 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

CEO with a God complex and the drug habits to fuel it

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

He needs more money to pay for Elon Island.

Elon Musk and a board of directors that are controlled by Elon Musk.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Two words: Elon Musk.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

The bubble is bursting.

Competition caught up with Tesla's lead while Elon was too busy with his many side projects while somehow also micro-managing the company to death (e.g. Cybertruck).

He should have focused on scaling up manufacturing and driving the price per car down. But no, he had to chase the self-driving pipedream, launch a ridiculous pickup truck, and wreck the "genius" person he had built to replace with an alt-right one.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Pretty much this. Elon was never interested in what he SHOULD HAVE BEEN: making an inexpensive electric vehicle that's widely available. Tesla had the tech to do so, but they were being driven to make insane decisions like moving the gearshift to a touchscreen (gee, I love taking my eyes off the road to shift gears), or making "futuristic" doors that actually cannot physically open from the inside (whoops, guess those just can't be recalled since DOT has literally no teeth).

[-] [email protected] 77 points 2 months ago

I really can't wait for the day, when news about this clown just end. Everything he touches turns into garbage

[-] Corkyskog 63 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't hold your breath. His worth could be decimated 50 times over and he would still be worth a billion dollars. He has enough money and will to influence politics and has a weird fan base to boot. Also, for someone who claims to be an autistic person who dislikes people, he sure seems to be a massive attention whore.

I don't foresee him fading into obscurity anytime soon, unfortunately.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

Upvote for using decimated correctly and also being spot on with the math. Made me completely forget about what an ass-hat Musk is for a short time.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

You can still crave attention from people you would never interact with in person

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The sad part is that I put my phone down for a minute to do some chores. Picked it up and for a second thought this was a different article about a different narcissistic clown that is currently on the news a lot as well based on the comment.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Two shit stains from the same asshole. Corporate America produces irredeemable trash

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Tell me about it.

I subscribed here to get tech news, but it seems like every other article is business news.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's the same as with Trump. The only reason you keep seeing these articles is because of the haters who can't stop talking about them. It's recreational outrage, pure and simple. There's zero "fanboys" posting articles about Elon or Tesla here. All of it is coming from the people that have the obsession to constantly feed their chronic anger by reading articles that piss them off.

[-] Tar_alcaran 6 points 2 months ago

There's zero "fanboys" posting articles about Elon or Tesla here.

Granted, it's much worse on Reddit, but there are plenty of fanboys around here.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Posting articles about Elon or Tesla? The only not anti-Tesla posts I've ever seen here are neutral (at best) news articles on EV-communities.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Nah, ignoring them doesn't work past a certain point. If it did, it would have worked with Internet trolls back in the 90s.

You don't want to give small time versions of Musk or Trump a platform. That's when ignoring them works. Weird ass flat earther channel with 12 subscribers? Maybe don't post them on Xhitter as outrage porn; just let it be. Once they have a hundred thousand subscribers, though, you can no longer ignore them and hope they go away. If you try, they will yell louder.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I genuinely struggle to see what the benefit of it is. In what way does it further the cause to spread these slander articles especially on a platform like Lemmy? Not a single fanboy is going to change their mind because of it and the rest of them (the vast, vast majority) already despises them to the fullest. It's just a circle jerk at this point. Talking shit about Elon here is just a foolproof way to get upvotes and pats on the back.

Personally I have content filters for Elon, Musk, X, Twitter etc. but I still see atleast 3 new articles here each day. I can only imagine what the actual number is. This just seems like masochism from my point of view. I don't spend any time following what the people I don't like are up to and I can't seem to figure out why anyone would want to do otherwise.

"The layoffs will continue until morale improves"

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Its not like HR has been doing its job to begin with.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

What do you think HRs job is? To protect the employee?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Protecting the company bottom line is hard when you are bleeding employees and you can't even replace them

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The question is whether she resigned or was fired as well. Her job was to protect the company, which includes not firing productive staff.
