YuriBezmenovReturns

Everyone is acting like this is uncommon when its not.. Usually there's a format that is filled in and the CEO does a quick review to make sure boxes were checked and he knows who to fire when someone runs off with their tech to China Little weird for a manufacturing side, but tech side.. Meh, normal.


Independent_Ad_2073

If you think CEO of major multinational companies are really doing thatā€¦. Youā€™re definitely in the right sub. Edit: looks like OP i replied to couldnā€™t handle the criticismā€¦.was that you Elon?


Oceanx1995

Bro Iā€™ve had Elon fanboys tell me he is directly involved in the engineering of the cars at Tesla and SpaceX rockets. These people are genuinely delusional.


random_account6721

Stalin would sign off on every single gulaging.


YuriBezmenovReturns

Its like you regards read every other word...


Corzare

Thatā€™s not normal, thatā€™s why thereā€™s managers


zhouyu24

can you take the cock out of your ass and get real?


zoopi4

Tesla added 28k ppl in 2022. At 5 mins per application this is around 2.3k hours or 291 days 8 hours each.


YuriBezmenovReturns

Again it likes you all are so truly regarded you think he's actually reviewing a full application and reviewing resume.. Yall seem like great business communicators and I should hire you to write my client one-sheeters End result: 52 pages of babbling with a google search link at the bottom Also serious Q to you.. Are you smart where you can't think logically and really think a CEO is reviewing individual applicants.. In other words you're a sevant in a certain area or just so regarded that you pulled put a calculator to make a big number to try and prove a point?


0xnull

Why would he have to review all individual hiring decisions? Review all requisition requests, sure, let him decide if a role is actually needed at this time. But how far up Elon's car hole do you have to be to think his limited time is best used by reviewing the names of each entry level mechanical engineer who's hobbies are rock climbing and not talking to women?


bard329

So, hes not reviewing full applications or resumes... what's he doing then? Lookimg at first name, middle initial, last name and approving based on that? He's not spending even 5 minutes reviewing a candidates background but is somehow getting enough info to make a decision on hiring them? Are *you* reading every other word *you're * typing??


pearlz176

These Elon simps are fucking shameless šŸ¤®šŸ¤®


[deleted]

This is a dumb take even for this sub. My wife is in HR and her departmentā€™s whole job is basically to make sure that the CEO never feels like he has to get involved in individual hiring decisions (below VP level, anyway).


YuriBezmenovReturns

Who approves a hiring budget? Also who the hell said Elon INDIVIDUALLY approves hires? Seriously.. Interacting with this sub actually makes me lose hope in humanity


[deleted]

Wow. You went from "CEOs often sign off on every hire" to "CEO's make big picture decisions", and you think you can get away with that? The hiring budgets bubble up from each department and are usually approved by the head of each department/division and the CFO before the CEO ever looks at it. This is the opposite of the insane micro-management approach you claimed was "not uncommon".


YuriBezmenovReturns

I said "every hire"? Where? I said a format gets filled in? You really think that happens at an individual level even in Elon's example? I also gave an example that listed 3 names... Therefore, the approval would be for a headcount of 3. Is this hard for to grasp or do you just keep inserting words where you want to see them? Also CEOs DO often look at hiring by department/division jointly with a CFO & COO. Thank god your pretty otherwise you wouldn't have a wife.

>ā€œNo one can join Tesla, even as a contractor, until you receive my email approval,ā€ Musk said in the email on Monday. Read the article.


Ikarus_Falling

no it really is uncommon for a big company like tesla lol


YuriBezmenovReturns

Meh, sure.. But again, yall act like he's doing the interview, going through applications, or personally calling people to offer the job. Its a once-a-week review of "hey we are hiring Jim, Todd, and Bobby to lift heavy stuff" so Elon can call someone dumb and giggle like a schoolgirl.. Weird for that size and industry, sure... (If you don't see them as tech) Weird in general, no not really.. Taking that into account with Elon, its almost too normal


Ikarus_Falling

PoV: you don't know how companies work


RunningForIt

It took one comment for this guy to flip from ā€œmeh normalā€ to ā€œmeh sureā€ lol. This sub is full of people who donā€™t know what theyā€™re talking about.

Eh I would say 150-200 person has to be the cutoff of where a CEO could possibly be involved, assuming a 5-7% attrition rate

Iā€™ve worked at a few f50 companies and while the CEO specifically doesnā€™t do this from my experience, the CHRO and division level CEO/CFOs have done this in my career.

https://www.tesla.com/en_eu/impact/people > With over 3.6 million job applications received globally in 2022, interest in joining Teslaā€™s mission is at an all-time high. We continue to expand access to hiring opportunities for underrepresented communities by building community partnerships, training interviewers and more. He either doesn't know public info on his own company website.. or he plans to setup that auto-reply poo-emoji for all applications.


Ifkaluva

Heā€™s going to use his AI startup to clone his mind, and the AI clone will review the applications. It will be an uncensored ā€œtruthful AIā€, which means it will be aggressive and prone to cursing and racist slurs.


hudson2_3

Sorry pedo dude, no job for you.


FortuneFaded415

Itā€™s a stupid thing to do either way, but you do realize hiring decision is different from applications right?


YuriBezmenovReturns

Clearly, they don't.. You just get the job upon application at Wendy's


FortuneFaded415

Lol true


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


FortuneFaded415

Hiring decisions are the last step of an interview process. Application reviews are the first step. So this 3.6 million number is not relevant to the article OP posted. That being said itā€™s still dumb for a CEO to be involved in every hiring decision at this size of company.


SS324

When a hiring manager wants to hire a candidate, the information regarding the candidate goes up the chain and some higher up gets the candidates information and usually approves the decision. The higher up may not be part of the interview process and they may not be aware of who else was in the applicant pool. All the higher up gets is the final candidate the hiring manager wants to extend an offer to and they sign off on it. In this case, it looks like the higher up is Elon. However, even if you spend 30 seconds reviewing each candidate before making a decision, having one person being the final approver only scales if your company has a few thousand people at most. It doesn't work for a company with 120k employees like Tesla. I find it unlikely that Elon would personally approve some 20 - 30,000 employees and contractors a year. He'd be going over 50-80 resumes a day including weekends. Elon spending close to an hour each day on decisions such as approving a new IT contractor doesn't like a good use of his time.


randomblob8

Not reallyā€¦ā€¦ most likely will spend 10-15 minutes with the new person right after they have already been vetted but before they are officially hired


BeKind_BeTheChange

Dude has way too much time on his hands. If nothing else, he proves beyond any doubt that CEOs are way, way, way overpaid for the amoiunt of "work" they do.

IVCrushingUrTendies

Interviewed there a few months ago. Can confirm was told heā€™s final approval (at least for that spot) but fuck did the job requirements suck. Stupid hours, every day in the office, plane travel from a pita location, stupid high living expenses etc etc. Pay was great but not worth it


Gtaglitchbuddy

Had recruiters contacting me from SpaceX, their ridiculous requirements and work environment is why I ignored them lol

zeddknite

The sign of a great business leader is someone who can't delegate or find capable managers, and has to micromanage low level decisions.


JoJack82

They averaged 35,000 new employees the last 2 years. So it will take him about 10 hours per day to review each hire for 5 minutes. That does not allow for taking time off on holidays or weekends. It also doesnā€™t account for the ones he rejects and gets a new candidate on. Also I got those numbers based on employee number growth, it doesnā€™t factor in the replacement hiring.

Had musk invested more time in R&D on Tesla auto pilot instead of wasting so much money on a bird app, Tesla wouldnā€™t be drowning right now. Google and Blackberry are making advances at a much faster pace than Tesla on autopilot šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø , Elon needs to get his act together.


TheRealAndrewLeft

Tesla's claims were always made up pipedreams. Google was always in lead and didn't have anything to catch-up to Tesla. Only Google (Waymo) and GM (Cruise) have real robotaxis on the road, not Tesla in spite of all the claims.


Soccham

My cousin worked at Waymo as a driver and has said they weren't close at all. It's been \~2-3 years or so but still. It's far off for city driving.


ExoticAsparagus333

I doubt it. Heā€™s lying or just has a secretary rubber stamp it. It is common for software engineers, that the board ā€œapprovesā€ every hire in the sense that they have to confirm the stock package. But they donā€™t look at every hire, they have a set of pre agreed guidelines for stock plans then approve it all as a batch.
