She claimed she even turned down another offer to join Tesla.
“This afternoon, my offer at Tesla was rescinded 72 hours before I was supposed to start due to a company reorganisation,” she wrote. “Frustrated and heartbroken do not even begin to describe how I feel, and I know I share the same sentiment with anyone else who has had the unfortunate experience of enduring a layoff and/or rescinded offer, especially from Tesla over the past two weeks,” she added.
