Just more proof that we're living in the upside down where nothing makes sense.

You also got to remember what Elon (or Tesla) said about the firings from not too long ago. They hire some of the best people, and still fire some because they need people who are more skilled than those who work at competing companies. This guy does seem like he was a great employee, hence why he was even hired. However, his actions do not seem any different from someone who would work elsewhere. I think that is the reasoning for validating this firing. In other words, he could had handled it better to prevent the bad publicity. Not that it makes it a bad employee, just not good enough for what Tesla needs. He was good enough to be hired, perhaps not good enough to stay long term.
I'm not trying to sound mean; I am just trying to make sense of this without just blaming Tesla for being "bad". I agree it is important to treat employees well, but there is good (non greedy) reason for not wanting the employee union.
"responsible journalist" gets my vote as the oxymoron that pretty much defines 2017...
So why doesn't he have some allowance for a Sales person to make a mistake or two?
So my new theory is they only allow employees to make mistakes that don't endanger the reality distortion field.Tesla would have no employees at all if your theory was true.
As you pointed out, it's Elon's motto for Elon to take chance with his money - where does it say he encourages others to do the same on his dime?The firing is also inconsistent with Elon's main motto of taking chances. In fact I'd say that his ability to takes chances is what makes him a great human being.
I think more than a few people will take issue with what constitutes as his money.As you pointed out, it's Elon's motto for Elon to take chance with his money - where does it say he encourages others to do the same on his dime?

I was going to argue in favor of the Japanese way of blaming the system, and not the individual. But, when I went to look for references I just kept running into this. So hopefully Tesla doesn't start doing this.Tesla is a company with over 30k employees, and along with that comes organizational bureaucracy. Not everyone in the Tesla organization is going to act like Elon, so it does not surprise me that some layers of management went into what appears to be CYA mode once Electrek published its story on the 100D/P100D inventory model pricing.
I think it is a shame that Tesla management decided to fire an employee who was dedicated to the mission and showing initiative to bring in business.
Many years ago, I was swept up in a mass firing. My team was berated for a disaster that we didn't cause, and every last one of us was shown the door. In less than 3 weeks I had a new job and moved on. It looks like Aaron has done the same, and I commend him for his resilience.
But, we all know it's going to crash with the whole FSD debacle.I think Elon risks everyone's money. That his nature and so far he's stayed mostly on the genius side of the genius / loony line. He has me concerned that he's drifting lately but hopefully not.
I was terminated from my role as Sales Advisor in September....
Probably a result of Tesla only reporting deliveries quarterly as opposed to most other manufactures reporting monthly. Would you say the pressure was more, less than, or about the same as three times the month end pressure from others?BTW, I'm totally serious when I say I've never, ever been as acutely aware of quarterly sales pressures when buying a car, than with Tesla. I have never felt that with any other brand or dealership.
Part of the problem with the internet is that the line between blogging sites and actual journalists is far more hazy than it should be. If bloggers want to be journalists they need to consistently demonstrate the behaviors that professional journalists are supposed to.Quite right. If Electrek is going to break news stories before everyone else (as opposed to reposting excerpts from other news sources) then they should act like a real journalist, and gather as much first person facts as is reasonable. Had they done so, it is possible their story wouldn’t have triggered Tesla into firing the sales person. Although it may not seem so these days, there are professional standards for true journalism.
The firing is also inconsistent with Elon's main motto of taking chances. In fact I'd say that his ability to takes chances is what makes him a great human being.
