Why Is it that people want to work there again?

Aside from the usual conundrum of "any way to not starve or become homeless that doesn't involve whoring out to corporations has been removed from society", Tesla... wasn't always like this. Musk didn't found it. Musk didn't build it. He just bought it so he could pretend to be clever.

You only have to work 80 hours a week to get it (or else they'll just fire you)!

. . . He said he’d worked for two weeks after the initial layoff announcement in a state of distraction and uncertainty, where an ever-growing workload and constantly disappearing co-workers made it difficult to concentrate. On his last day at Tesla, he said he was dispatching technicians and attending his daily slate of meetings, only to find himself locked out of his company laptop at 10:45 p.m. By 11:01 p.m. that night, he received the layoff notice at his personal account.

“Chaos Reigns Inside Tesla” is the headline

It’s all over but the pillaging and shouting.

The thing exact thing Squid Game is satirizing resembles Squid Game? I’m shocked.

I am sure shitting on your fellow coworkers will lead to life long employment at Tesla!
