I had 6 Managers in 18 Months. You are but a number to the Company - A cost to be reduced and are simply a Metric to be manipulated...nothing more. Goals and Metrics can change on the whim of a tweet and the metrics frequently do not align with the actual goals (sometimes they are even contradictory). Leadership is so self absorbed by their own self preservation that there is no time to lead - only suck up to whoever is the current leader for that Department for that short period of time before they too are ousted. I was overworked. Always. If you start to catch up on your tasks, they will pile on even more while eliminating the required staffing level required to even provide a bare minimum of service to customers. Tesla (Mainly Elon) doesn't want to say they are a "Car Company" and refuses to fit into that mold - HOWEVER Tesla now has over 5 Million vehicles on the road that need maintenance and repairs (and charging). It is baffling to myself as well as the Industry as a whole why the entire Supercharging team was dismissed when they had been absolutely CRUSHING all metrics. Tesla thrived DESPITE poor Leadership, not because of it. Every week for 5 weeks in a row there are more layoffs. Moral is decimated. Those left are now hunting for new jobs while those let go are stunned at home. The most Educated, Talented, and Hardworking people were let go with no notice other than a cold email in the middle of the night. And that should tell you everything you need to know about your Value in the Company. What once was a vibrant and thrilling Company to work for is but a shell of itself and is rapidly being dismantled from the top down. Until the CEO is removed and replaced I don't see how Tesla will ever be able to regain trust with the workers and the people that buy them.
