Tesla’s ‘ultra hardcore’ work culture – as told by its employees

&gt; And their stories may shock you: extremely long hours, unsafe working conditions, harassment, scandals, fines, lawsuits, and above all else, a fear that one false slip will lead to termination.<p>Is anybody shocked by this? It’s a tale as old as time. The people who benefit from your hard work always want you to work harder. Shocking! No reinvestment into employee safety equipment. Shocking! Greed has no upper limit. Shocking!

&gt; Tesla employees would sleep on the floor after working upward of 12-hour-long shifts.<p>&gt; “My supervisor called me the n-word right in front of other co-workers,” said Melvin Berry ...<p>This is what enabled Musk to become a hyper-billionaire. This is not something to be proud of.

The impression I have after talking to a couple of people is that they’re young, naive bootlickers that just want to be a part of the Elon cult.

When the boss is sleeping on the factory’s floor, it’s a warning sign, isn’t it?<p>But I also wonder how is it on the compensation side? Was it very good? Did the workers benefit from the roaring stock price?

Did theverge just survey employees or did they seek out employees telling the story they wanted?<p>I&#x27;m not denying any of the accusations, but I&#x27;m skeptical any journalism is going on here.

I don’t listen to podcasts. Aren’t there usually transcripts? Could someone please help me out?

All that to build expensive gokarts for rich assholes.<p>Rarely have I seen a more destructive and toxic company than Tesla, of course the stock market loves it.<p>Started to wipe out the evil Exxon and ended up being more evil than Exxon.
