There you go: three months wages as a severance payments... Also, they are including stock vesting for the first quarter. You also get two months of health care if you sign a paper (let's call it an agreement) which states you are quitting Tesla will pay for one extra month of COBRA.

I'm sorry what happened to you @Xdzk9F7-4err. You sound like you were a good employee. Tesla made wrong call. Your story reminds me that there is no loyalty any more. Why give any more than you receive? Elon is full of himself but his day is coming. Comeuppance from the market and from shareholders is a biyotch.
Wow I worked at tesla for 5 years plus.I am only getting 2 more paychecks The reason on my package for my layoff was duplicate role/my skills were not up to par for position. my co worker has his job..He was my assitant I trained him and he admitted to his new manager that they laid off the wrong guy he told him I need to learn what he (me) used to do cause he (me) knew everything.Did they even research or just pull my name out of a hat?For six years I used my own cell phone .my phone constantly rang I asked for a cell phone they said no.this is the thanks I get.Also I had surgery one year at 5pm the next day after surgery I had to show up to work my manager was on maternity leave so was my coworker.I worked 12 hours that night lifting heavy boxes.with stiches from my surgery.If i would have stayed home the line would have shut down and I would have gotten fired..I never took time off after surgery.
I have worked for Tesla for almost two years, now I am unemployed (laid off). I'm extremely bummed out. I was an Instructional Designer for the global team... In short I designed a lot of training material for everyone.
Now I'm heartbroken, and I feel lost. I loved Tesla more than I've every loved any other company I worked for. I guess I understand the rationale behind the cuts, yet, I am shaken... I've invested so much into this job, worked many 80+ hour weeks to get "essential" training out to people, and now that's done.
For anyone else out there that is dealing with this mess, know that I appreciate you and everything that's going on. This is one of the most difficult times of my life, and I am crushed. I really thought I had found the company I would grow old with.
