遲遲難以盈利 特斯拉宣佈大規模裁員
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that his company is going to slash 9% of its workforce to keep it profitable and sustainable.
特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克日前表示，公司將削減9%的員工以保持公司盈利和可持續發展。In an email to Tesla staff, Musk said that the company is conducting a comprehensive, across-the-board organizational restructuring.
在給特斯拉員工的電郵中，馬斯克稱公司正在進行全面徹底重組。"Tesla has grown and evolved rapidly over the past several years, which has resulted in some duplication of roles and some job functions that, while they made sense in the past, are difficult to justify today," he said.
他說道：“特斯拉在過去幾年中迅速成長和發展，這導致許多角色和工作職能重複，儘管這些職能在過去是有意義的，但如今卻很難證明它們存在的合理性。”
"As part of this effort and the need to cut costs and become profitable, we have made the difficult decision to let go of approximately 9% of our colleagues across the company."
“作爲這一努力的重要組成部分，以及降低成本並實現盈利的需要，我們做出了一個艱難的決定，即裁汰公司大約9%的員工。”
He said the job cuts are mostly aimed at salaried employees and will not affect the production workers assembling the company's vehicles. And this will not affect their ability to reach Model 3 production targets in the coming months.
他表示，裁員將主要針對受薪員工，不會影響車輛生產部門的工人。此舉不會影響公司在未來幾個月實現Model 3的生產目標。Musk said Tesla has been continuing to flatten its management structure to help it communicate better, eliminate bureaucracy and move faster.
馬斯克稱特斯拉一直在不斷扁化其管理結構，以提高公司傳達效率、減少官僚主義、實現更快的發展。Tesla has decided not to renew a residential sales agreement with Home Depot, and would focus instead on selling its solar products through its own stores and website.
特斯拉方面已經決定不續簽與家得寶的住宅銷售協議，以集中精力在特斯拉商店和網上銷售太陽能產品。"The majority of Tesla employees working at Home Depot will be offered the opportunity to move over to Tesla retail locations," Musk explained.
馬斯克解釋道：“大部分在家得寶工作的特斯拉員工將有機會搬到特斯拉零售店工作。”
