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.

Why?
Why have you fallen for the propaganda? What is in it for you? You are willing to tear your family in two over the fears others have given you? Be a man. Do your job. Take care of your family.

Be a man means do the right thing by yourself and your family. Threatening to tear your family in two of what some jackass says on the news? Man up boy you have a family. They depend on you. Be a mensch. OR your other option is to let the world trot over you and hope for the best.

That's right boy. Develop your own vaccine. Stop waiting for Mr. Trump to solve your problems.

It's no joke. I've seen relationships end because of this, but for another reason: Unlike Mexicans, Americans aren't people who like to live on top of each other 24/7. Even the closest couples need their space, and if you have 2 irritable adults and an irritating kid or 3 all trapped indoors all day, it can be hell for a marriage.
And if you look at the statistics on the news, domestic violence is way up and alcohol consumption has risen 300%. All because Democrat perverts, Jewish Bolsheviks, and Soros-funded Uncle Toms are holding American lives hostage so they can steal the next election.

Nope, being a man in America, means sucking it up to make everything work, and preferably making a martyr of yourself in the process. That whole be a man BS is just one of the reasons why being a man tends to suck. You get to do all the work, get very little of the credit, when something dangerous does happen, you're expected to give your life, even as the ungrateful women aren't.
Really, it's about damned time that men were properly compensated for the additional risks, or just refused to take them on. It's the same as those morons that are wanting to take down the statue of Lincoln, the same statute of Lincoln that was paid for by former slaves. Bunch of morons.
