Re:Tesla switching to 24/7 shifts to push for more model 3s ... by treis on Wednesday April 18, 2018 @01:45PM (#16869321)
From the e-mail:

There is a very wide range of contractor performance, from excellent to worse than a drunken sloth. All contracting companies should consider the coming week to be a final opportunity to demonstrate excellence. Any that fail to meet the Tesla standard of excellence will have their contracts ended on Monday.

Unless this is an empty threat a bunch of contractors will be out the door on Monday. Which means less capacity to do the work.

Hiring line employees for a 3rd shift is great, but where are all the supporting ops people like safety engineers and plant managers going to come from? Doing that means a bunch of white collar employees just got a whole lot more work to do.

In this context a contractor is a company, not a contract employee.

Sure that company has employees, but if they are not doing the job it is better to find a different company that will.
