It's too bad they had to let go of the "non-critical" employees...whatever that means.
Government can step in to some extent to see a lot of people get rehired. While its not comparable to an automaker, an airline in Canada rehired 16,500 laid-off workers with the help of federal government's wage subsidy. I would like to see the U.S. do more of that and get very tough on coronavirus efforts.It's too bad they had to let go of the "non-critical" employees...whatever that means.
In 2018 Tesla had just under 50,000 employees so unfortunately they wouldn't qualify for that.I saw yesterday they almost passed new funding/loans for small businesses, but those are less than 10k workers I think. Is Tesla more than that? Probably.
