As Tesla faces tough times, the daily lives of French employees at Elon Musk’s company resemble a real nightmare. One employee shared their experience anonymously, and their shocking remarks are worth discussing. Here are the details!
Tesla Facing a Major Crisis
In recent weeks, things have gone wrong for Tesla. Vehicle sales have plunged by 26% in France and 76% in Germany. This dramatic decline is largely attributed to Elon Musk’s controversial statements and his association with Donald Trump.
As reported by Libération, the front of Tesla France’s headquarters in Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis, was even vandalized on Tuesday, February 11. This action was carried out by members of Action Justice Climat, who aimed to denounce “the fascism” of the billionaire. However, it is the French employees who bear the brunt of the consequences of this crisis.
A Climate of Fear and Pressure Among Employees
The situation is tense among Tesla France employees, with many refusing to speak out for fear of retaliation. “We are pressured with statements like, ‘if you speak out, you’re fired’. We receive an email at least once a week reminding us of the rules about discussing Tesla publicly, whether with friends or journalists,” confided an anonymous employee to Radio France.
Currently on sick leave following a burnout, the employee explains they have often been insulted by customers, being called “Nazis, collaborators”. “It’s hard to live with… we don’t all necessarily align with our leader’s views. I just couldn’t continue,” they explained to our colleagues. The situation does not appear to be improving anytime soon. What do you think?
