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?

    I don’t really disagree with any of this, I’m just saying at-will is a bi-directional street, which I haven’t really seen mentioned in this thread. Being able to quit at any time is technically a right that benefits the worker.

    Now in practicality does this benefit most people? No.

      At will swings so far in advantage of employers it’s not funny.
