You will never be rewarded for your loyalty by any corporation. Ever. This isn’t your grandfather’s fabled job market. But it should probably be considered doubly true of anything involving Elon Musk.

Shame this poor guy wasn’t born into a family with an emerald mine or he could have exploited an intrepid young worker just like himself.
Dude is so capitalist that he exploits himself.

Obviously, he wanted to write the word ‘exploits’.

One could say your were… exploring the mixup.
Wait hang on a sec.
hehehe I didn’t see that, thx.
Guy traveled an hour and a half each day, fuck that.
Also he found out he was fired 30 minutes into his drive and verified by his ex-boss, and still drove another hour to try and go to work‽
Like an abused dog, unable to comprehend why its owner abandoned it.
Alternatively:
Calm, fitter, healthier and more productive A pig in a cage on antibiotics
That is one way. He traveled 3 hours every day.
I’m not going to criticize the guy for having a long commute. Depending on where you live, that’s really not unheard of. I had a 90 minute commute in L.A. for a job that was only about 30-40 miles away, but I really loved the job, so it was worth it to me.
Criticize the guy for buying into the Elon dream.
The reality of “If I work really hard I’ll surely be rewarded”.
Bet that dude would have 100% ratted out union organizers too.
Murillo mentioned that during his commute, he usually checks his email while his vehicle is in Autopilot. However, on this day, he received a devastating message stating that his position had been eliminated.
Idiot is lucky he wasn’t in a devastating crash. The company he worked for said not to do that.
This is exactly why I think the FTC needs to get on them for the names ‘Autopilot’ and ‘Full Self Driving.’ It’s just false advertising.
Yup, until a manufacturer assumes legal liability like how Mercedes does, it is entirely misleading.
They fired him through an email? That’s fucked up
Pretty common in shitty companies. Anyone with balls or the slightest bit of human compassion will tell you in person.
And yet nothing new for Elon.
It’s either revolution or suicide booths. We’re going to choose suicide booths, which is sad but predictable.
How does one sign up to the alpha release? I don’t want to wait for a guaranteed kill, a significant maiming will do, I’ll finish myself off.
Simply turn your Tesla full self-driving on and stand in front of the vehicle.
I don’t own a Tesla, can I use yours?
So for over a decade now I’ve been telling all of the software engineers that I’ve trained up to work a year or two and then find another job, get your pay bump and/or promotion, and come re-apply after a year at whatever place they landed if they didn’t like the place or really loved the job they were doing at my place and I’d hire them back no problem.
Company loyalty hasn’t been a thing since I joined the workforce twenty years ago and it’s a shame that the younger generation still hasn’t learned that lesson.

It definitely was. The article says as much.
The thing is this is becoming more and more of a reality for an increasing number of people.
The question is, how good was he at his job? Ambition and loyalty only goes so far.
That’s a dumb question in this context. Mass layoffs are not performance based
Then the OP is pointless. It speaks to employee quality. If that isn’t in any way useful in the context, the question is dumb. It wouldn’t matter how motivated that employee was, so why mention it.
So either quality counts, or layoffs are entirely based on luck, often firing the best of them all. Sounds like you are coping. Quality almost always matters. And the smallest things can save your ass.
Even in a game with odds as bad as the lottery, you still have to play it to win.
In your educated opinion, what are layoffs based on? Can’t be random. So what? Race? Gender? Age? Everything but performance? Because who cares about performance. Just fire someone, Fred. Anyone.
