Tesla is laying off ‘about 9%’ of its workforce as it ‘restructures’ the company
Friendly PSA: always negotiate severance. Companies can always be forced to restructure like this or even just choose to on a whim. Pressure from the board, hiring a new CTO who wants to bring in his or her own people, etc. etc.<p>Always make sure you are happy with what type of offsetting compensation you’ll receive in this eventuality <i>before</i> taking the job, and consider it a huge timesaver if an employer passes on you because you asked to negotiate a competitive severance package.
