Tesla preys on young and naive employees looking to get their foot in the door.
For instance back on Reddit in many of the engineering subs, there were countless new threads started by fresh engineering graduates who were hell bent on getting a job at Tesla. Many of us would warn them to stay as far away as possible from them (as well as SpaceX) but they wouldn’t listen no matter what we told them.
Most of these people weren’t dumb. Naive, sure, but not dumb. Some of them had a plan where they would bust their asses working at Tesla for a year or two and then that would be a great addition to their resume. Would it work for them? Not sure, but I do know that HR departments do think highly of seeing Tesla or SpaceX on one’s resume, so maybe that plan wasn’t quite so bad. I sure as fuck have no interest in working there, but then again, I like having some time-off.
It’s the same concept as working at a FAANG company. Yes, they’re going to run you rugged, but you’ll make bank and it will be great for your resume. There is a reason Google added all these in office amenities to encourage people to not go home.
Oh absolutely. And naive people will fall for that shit. In some ways, I can’t blame them. At least years ago, I couldn’t blame them because you could hustle for a couple of years and then leave with a ton of money. But these companies aren’t stupid. They’ve changed some of their pay structure to where you don’t get the big bucks unless you stick with the company for much longer than you would want to. So now you are fucked. If you divide out the hours your burn to your salary, it just isn’t particularly worth it. Fuck that.
yea that’s the sort of thing i would have done
