Some laid-off Tesla workers received a notification that their separation agreements had been canceled on Thursday and to expect new ones, two laid-off workers told Business Insider.
The workers received a notification about a document titled “Your separation agreement,” with “status: canceled,” according to one of the emails obtained by BI. The notification said, “Canceled by sender: Cancelling to send updated agreement,” per a screenshot of the message. The email appears to be an automatic email from the Adobe Acrobat Sign e-signature tool.
The notification came after Elon Musk sent a companywide email to current Tesla employees on Wednesday, saying that “some severance packages are incorrectly low.”
“My apologies for this mistake. It is being corrected immediately,” Musk said in the email that was viewed by BI.
Some of the former employees who received the notification had been previously offered two months of severance.
The severance packages didn’t appear to be weighted based on the length of time workers had been with Tesla, as workers with anywhere from a few months to several years at Tesla received the same number of weeks paid out, five sources who received the offers told BI.
