Security guards told Tesla employees they are fired

Tesla announced this week that it will fire 10 percent of all its employees. It's just that not all of the fired people had received that message.

Not everyone knows that Tesla will fire 10 percent of all the car brand's employees. Nor the employees themselves.

That's what Business Insider writes.

After the announcement that Tesla will and must fire, a group of employees met as usual at work at the brand's factory in the city of Sparks in the US state of Nevada.

Here, some of the employees could find that their access card to the factory had already been deactivated. Something that caused so much chaos that production was delayed for two hours.

Two anonymous sources say that the security guards outside the factory unusually scanned all access cards as early as Monday this week. Usually there are just spot checks.

The fired employees were told to turn around, say the anonymous employees, who are therefore not among those fired this time.

According to several American media, all Tesla employees received an email about the layoffs on Sunday last week. But the people who are to be fired got an extra email.

In that mail, they are informed that their access cards to the respective workplaces and factories would soon be deactivated. The deactivation would, Tesla management wrote in the email, take place within 48 hours.
