If there is any paper trail at all, they stand no chance in court. They wouldn't be the first American company learning that the hard way in Europe.
Shut that shit down then
Doesn't look like the production capacities will be needed for much longer anyway, right?
the company is now suspending wages and threatening to demand repayment, as announced by the aforementioned letter. Tesla is also asking employees to voluntarily share their diagnoses, an odd move since workers have no obligation to disclose their medical situations and employers in Germany are not allowed to ask.
Oh, you are so fucked 😂
Tesla: We can do whatever we want because rules don't matter
Germans: The fuck did you just say? RULES DON'T MATTER?!!??
