Tesla, founded by Elon Musk, is currently facing a challenging period. Increased competition in the electric vehicle market and Musk’s declining reputation have led to a significant drop in sales.
Tesla Financial Issues and Mass Layoffs
These challenges have caused Tesla to face financial problems. However, to prevent the issues from escalating, Elon Musk recently decided to implement mass layoffs. He directed Tesla management to dismiss anyone who isn’t essential to the company. As a result, some managers will also be affected.
New information reveals that no one is safe, from the highest to the lowest levels. Bloomberg reports that Tesla Motors is not only laying off current employees but also rejecting individuals who were expected to start working soon. Even young interns are not exempt.
Interns who planned to begin their careers in the electric vehicle sector this summer found themselves stranded. In addition, Tesla revoked their internship offers, causing some to urgently seek internships at other companies and share their experiences on LinkedIn.
Layoffs Reflect Financial Struggles
The fact that Tesla is even laying off interns shows how troubled things have become at Elon Musk’s company. Indeed, the layoffs demonstrate that Tesla is now even concerned about the low wages it pays interns.
