Do you know if the severance was based on time worked so far, or 2 weeks for everybody?

But yeah, this is terrible. If you don't expect you're going to be fired for bad performance, that's a company's failure, not yours.

He worked for 2 years. I am not sure what severance is based on. Also, with this article, Tesla pretty much trashed every employee they fired by publicly saying they are bad performers. Imagine finding a job now that you have been labelled a poor performer

They are bad performers for Tesla. That does not mean they are bad performers for other companies. The acceptance threshold at Tesla could be at a very different level.
