> edit: apparently it's worse than just stock:

I'll wait for the original source. An anonymous comment on reddit with no source, does not a valid claim make.

All I can find is (translated) claims that Tesla said they may remove the stock option program going forward and layoffs. [0] Which is a far cry from "holidays, bonuses, stock and insurance" or "stealing $7000"

> There have also been reports that employees have felt threatened by the company if they go on strike and it has been stated that various benefits could be withdrawn.

> - We have members who confirm this. Tesla executives have threatened layoffs. They have also threatened to withdraw the option program that Tesla has, where you get shares for a certain number of years," says IF Metall's contract secretary Veli-Pekka Säikkälä.

Yes, agreed.

But that's a lot of smoke already, those reps would likely not say that if it wasn't something they could back up.

Agreed, but the reps would also clearly make the other claims as well, if they were valid claims that they could back up. The fact they didn't makes me think it's someone being overly dramatic with no actual knowledge. Or to put it another way, I don't think it's "a lot of smoke", I think it's a campfire that's being claimed as a forest fire.

Tesla has done exactly that same thing before so it's not as farfetched as it may seem, they may have simply not realized that doing that same thing in Europe is going to have a completely different effect than what happened the previous time in America.
