Two workers, Carlos Gabriel and Jessica Naro, say that they received termination notices from Tesla last week after taking unpaid time off in an effort to avoid the coronavirus. The San Jose Mercury News first reported Gabriel's termination notice last week.
Both workers say that they were contacted this week by Tesla's HR department. Naro was given the opportunity to come back to work if she committed to a return date. She declined because her 6-year-old son has a health condition that puts him at heightened risk.
Gabriel ended his call after the Tesla rep refused to allow him to record it. He hasn't heard back since and believes he is no longer on Tesla's payroll
[...] "If you feel uncomfortable coming back to work at this time, please do not feel obligated to do so," Musk told employees in a May email prior to Tesla re-opening its factory.
[...] In its termination email, which Gabriel shared with the Mercury News, Tesla cited Gabriel's failure to respond to emails and voicemails inquiring when Gabriel would return to work. Gabriel said he didn't feel a need to respond because he had been told he could stay home if he felt unsafe. Gabriel and Naro told The Washington Post that they had both been in regular contact with their managers prior to the termination notices.
Tesla didn't respond to a Thursday email seeking comment for this story.

Two workers, living in
Two 1-bedroom apartments, along with
Two-hundred relatives between the two all living in those two apartments.
Looks like they did Tesla a favor skirting their duties. We see a lot of cases in L.A., and the hardest-hit areas of San Diego are of course at or near the Southern border. That is no coincidence. Anyway, they probably applied for unemployment and realized they were making more on it than they were working. Can't blame anybody who does that, really. 'Specially with another round of gibs coming.
Though Trump halted the H1-B nonsense, so engineers and programmers can get back in the workforce and Paco and Yesenia from the article can learn to code and make us some wicked salsas and mole' every Friday.
