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?

    That’s why we have unions. And why republicans work really hard to prevent unions.

      in the 80s Reagan said “government is the problem”, and it’s been war on unions ever since from the Republicans… they stonewall everything related to worker rights they can’t destroy outright…

      and all the power and money just keep going up the corporate ladder into the boardroom
