When your boss sleeps at the factory it shows commitment. When he makes you sleep at the factory it shows he’s an asshole.

And the conditions are still better than what the collective agreements would require?

Well now I’m definitely never buying a Tesla.
2 years later, the car is released. It is made from lead to protect from radiation, has a range of 7 miles, and costs $112k for the base model.
I mean, if you're required to stay there that'd be some mad overtime pay where I'm at: first 8hr at 1xpay, next 4hr at 1.5xpay, then everything after that is 2xpay.
I can't say I wouldn't consider it.
I doubt the regions this may be required in will have such labor friendly laws though...
According to another comment the workers are 90 percent independent contractors being abused. So no extra pay.
Somehow I'm not surprised... Fuck Tesla.

Even if I was working there still: Fuck that. I'd rather sleep in my car. At least it's warm and soft unlike the concrete on the factory floor that's covered in metal shavings and dropped screws. Plenty of people I met there did just that because it was easier to just stay there all week and only go back home over the weekend cuz home was like a 4 hour drive away on a good day.
But I mean... There are way better jobs. And if you're a contractor (which is like 90% of the workforce there): you ain't getting a permanent position, lol. Fr. You're just gonna be used up and tossed aside and I know the pay isn't worth it. Might as well be a McDonald's janitor for the same pay. At least you ain't gonna fuck your back and knees all up or work more than 8 hours.
How about... No...
Instead of new car smell, it will have Elon Musk.
sounds fair and reasonable, definitely not dangerous.
Sounds like The Boer is homesick for the land of his youth
He's so full of shit his eyes are brown...er than they were the last time his shit-spewing gullet was open
guy's a complete tool bag
A tool bag is useful and helps to alleviate a lot of redundant work. Everyone needs a tool bag.
I'd take a tool bag over Elon and day.
