A leaked recording of a training during Tesla’s week-long production shutdown outlines a serious morale problem.

Something strange happened at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas the week of Memorial Day.

The production lines at the plant went dark and the 20,000 folks responsible for running them—whether it be the ones putting the final touches on Tesla’s made-in-Texas Model Y or spit-shining panels on the Cybertruck—were told to take the week off if they had paid time off to burn. If not, it was time to come in and either scrub the floors or take some company culture training.

Production pauses do happen. Sometimes it’s due to upgrading lines, other times due to demand problems (and it might be a bit obvious which Tesla is facing right now). Tesla’s hasn’t said which, but a week is “unusually long” according to employees who spoke with Business Insider.

    How about the owner who is responsible for all this shit takes some responsibility? That would make both the morale problem go away and the demand problems.

          But it does explain why he’s acting like he’s overcompensating for a broken dick.

          (Because he is.)

          There’s other drugs, I’m sure.

            Have you ever done K?
            It doesn’t make you a dick. It’s similar to shrooms.

              No.

              But I do understand a consequence of using K heavily is that it basically burns out the urinary tract. Which included things like the urethra.

              K doesn’t make you a dick, no. But when you happen to be a particularly toxic sort of person, and suddenly have a dick that hurts to do anything with….

              And now suddenly all the people in the world know it….

              Yeah. It explains a lot.

                None of that has anything to do with k

                You sound like someone that thinks weed turns you into a murdering chicken.
