Ex-Tesla employee reveals shocking details on worker conditions: ‘You get fired on the spot.’

I’m curious about how far this goes.

You can’t get fired on the spot in NZ, unless you like, shot someone or set the building on fire or something really bad.

But it seems that in the US, there’s little to no protections for employees when their bosses are dickheads?

Also, any personal stories of getting fired on the spot?

    Or they get bought by a larger, more shit company, who changes company culture.

    Hell, they don’t even have to be bought. The original owner could just die and his replacement might just be terrible.

      The replacement might be terrible but they’re still enforced to treat people with the legal requirement for working standards (and yes there are protection laws, but it’s the big businesses that disobey them). You’ll be hard pressed to find complaints about working conditions in, say, the Wegmans chain.
