A | 北京时间1月15日,SpaceX宣布计划裁员约10%。

B | DETROIT -- Detroit's three automakers have laid off roughly 4,800 workers at factories that are not among the plants that have been hit by the United Auto Workers strikes, which have lasted for nearly four weeks.The companies say the strikes have nevertheless forced them to impose those layoffs. They note that the job cuts have occurred mainly at factories that make parts for assembly plants that were closed by strikes. In one case, layoffs have been imposed at a factory that uses supplies from a parts factory on strike.The UAW rejects that argument. It contends that the layoffs are unjustified and were imposed as part of the companies' pressure campaign to persuade UAW members to accept less favorable terms in negotiations with automakers. The factories that have been affected by layoffs are in six states: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and New York. Sam Fiorani, an analyst with AutoForecast Solutions, a consulting firm, said he thinks the layoffs reflect a simple reality: The automakers are losing money because of the strikes. By slowing or idling factories that are running below their capacities because of strike-related parts shortages, Fiorani said, the companies can mitigate further losses.“It doesn’t make sense to keep running at 30% or 40% of capacity when it normally runs at 100%,” he said. “We’re not looking at huge numbers of workers relative to the ones actually being struck. But there is fallout.”In a statement, Bryce Currie, vice president of Americas manufacturing at Ford, said: “While we are doing what we can to avoid layoffs, we have no choice but to reduce production of parts that would be destined for a plant that is on strike."UAW President Shawn Fain countered in a statement that the automakers were using layoffs to pressure the union into settling the strike. With billions in profits, Fain argued, the companies don’t have to lay off a single employee.The UAW began striking against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis on Sept. 15, with one assembly plant from each company. The next week, the union expanded the strike to 38 GM and Stellantis parts warehouses. Assembly plants from Ford and GM were added the week after that. All told, about 25,000 workers have walked off their jobs at the three automakers. Striking workers are receiving $500 a week from the union’s strike pay fund. By contrast, anyone who is laid off would qualify for state unemployment aid, which, depending on a variety of circumstances, could be less or more than $500 a week. “Their plan won’t work,” Fain said. “The UAW will make sure any worker laid off in the Big Three’s latest attack will not go without an income.”GM said it has laid off 2,330 workers, including 1,600 at a temporarily closed assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, that makes the Chevrolet Malibu sedan and Cadillac XT4 small SUV. The plant uses metal parts produced at the GM plant in Wentzville, Missouri, which is on strike. Other GM facilities that have been affected by layoffs are in Lockport, New York; Toledo, Ohio; Marion, Indiana; Parma, Ohio; and Lansing, Michigan.Ford said it has laid off 1,865 workers. They include 600 auto-body and parts-stamping employees in Wayne, Michigan, who are not on strike but who have been affected by a nearby assembly plant that has been struck. Other Ford locations with layoffs include Chicago; Sterling Heights and Livonia, Michigan; and Cleveland and Lima, Ohio. Stellantis said late Monday that it had laid off about 640 workers, including 520 at an engine factory complex in Trenton, Michigan, that supplies a Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio, that is on strike. Other locations with layoffs include a metal casting plant in Kokomo, Indiana, and a machining factory in Toledo. Fiorani said that if the strike widens, more workers will likely be laid off at non-striking plants. Once metal stamping factories that supply multiple assembly plants have produced enough parts for non-striking facilities, the companies would likely shut them down.“Once you've filled up the stocks for the other plants you supply," he said, “you have to lay off the workers and wait out the strike.”Separate companies that manufacture parts for the automakers are likely to have laid off workers but might not report them publicly, said Patrick Anderson, CEO of the Anderson Economic Group in Lansing, Michigan. A survey of parts supply companies by a trade association called MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers found that 30% of members have laid off workers and that more than 60% expect to start layoffs in mid-October.Fiorani said that while larger parts suppliers can likely withstand the strike, smaller companies that make parts for the bigger companies might not have enough cash or the ability to borrow to outlast the job actions. Some, he said, may have a couple dozen workers “and don't have billions in value to use as collateral in loans,” he said. Thus far, the union has decided to target a small number of plants from each company rather than have all 146,000 UAW members at the automakers go on strike at the same time.Last week, the union reported progress in the talks and decided not to add any more plants. This came after GM agreed to bring joint-venture electric vehicle battery factories into the national master contract, almost assuring that the plants will be unionized.Battery plants are a major point of contention in the negotiations. The UAW wants those plants to be unionized to assure jobs and top wages for workers who will be displaced by the industry's ongoing transition to electric vehicles.。据知情人士透露,SpaceX首席执行官、总裁兼首席运营官格温·肖特威尔(Gwynne Shotwell)上周五在加州霍桑总部召开了一次员工会议,对裁员的坏消息深表同情。马斯克和肖特维尔在会议上承认,SpaceX的大规模重组意味着该公司不得不解雇一些员工,而他们不想看到这些员工。据两名被解雇的员工称,重组后,SpaceX仍有约6400名员工。

C | 上周五,SpaceX要求员工回家查看收件箱,看看是否收到解雇通知。

D | 公司将在周末关闭。spacex并不要求每个人都参加员工会议,因此有些人首先通过spacex发送的公司电子邮件了解裁员情况。从上周五晚上开始,SpaceX使用电子邮件发送员工辞职协议,以及简历撰写、求职协助和其他员工解雇补偿。两名被解雇的员工说,这轮裁员似乎覆盖了整个公司,没有任何一个团队或地区受到不相称的影响或解雇。spacex证实,这轮裁员涵盖了所有团队,公司仍雇佣了6000多名员工。根据1月11日提交给加利福尼亚州的SpaceX警告,仅在霍桑总部就裁员577人。

E | 在霍桑,SpaceX专注于为大型火箭开发可重复使用的猛禽发动机。SpaceX还裁减了其他公司办公室的员工。”为了继续为我们的客户服务,成功开发星际飞船,建立一个基于太空的全球互联网服务,SpaceX必须成为一个更精简的公司。即使单独尝试这两项任务中的一项,也会导致其他公司破产。

F | 这意味着我们必须向团队中一些才华横溢、勤奋工作的成员道别,并感谢他们为太空探索任务所做的一切努力和贡献。这仅仅是因为公司在未来面临着极其困难的挑战,并且否认没有必要这样做,”spacex上周在一份声明中说。一些SpaceX内部人士对裁员感到惊讶,但其他人说他们已经预料到裁员。肖特维尔在2018年5月的一次采访中表示,尽管经历了多年的财务困境,SpaceX还是盈利了。她当时表示,SpaceX正在“一点一点地融资”,对那些必须同意该公司长期愿景的投资者有选择性。这一轮裁员的负面影响部分被SpaceX的“龙”飞船成功返回地球所抵消。美国国家航空航天局说,上周末,“龙”号宇宙飞船完成了国际空间站补给任务,并安全返回地球,为科学家们带来了研究和数据。这次任务的完成标志着“龙”号宇宙飞船的“首次夜间着陆和恢复”。换言之,在SpaceX的大规模重组中,该公司能够在夜间在海上回收可重复使用的航天器。
