On April 24th, it surfaced on Weibo's trending topics that Tesla was accused of reneging on job offers to recent graduates. Several netizens took to social media platforms to express their dismay, revealing that they had received unilateral contract terminations after securing employment offers from Tesla.
"This morning, I received a call from HR, informing me that I might be laid off. It was like a bolt from the blue. I never expected to have my contract terminated before even starting the job. Now, with the spring recruitment season nearing its end, I'm left without a job," one netizen expressed.
Additionally, a blogger stated that Tesla has revoked all job offers for recent graduates today, offering a month's compensation for breach of contract.
However, in the comments section of related discussions, many HR recruitment accounts from companies like NIO and Xpeng have expressed welcoming the terminated recent graduates to submit their resumes.
Recently, Tesla initiated massive layoffs globally, exceeding 10% in scale, resulting in at least 14,000 people losing their jobs.
Reports suggest that the layoffs primarily aimed at reducing the workforce in the United States and China, as these two countries represent Tesla's largest markets in terms of sales, technology, and engineering investments.
