Tesla's Head Of Product Launches Departs After Feeling EV Giant Took 'Pound Of Flesh' Amid Mass Firings: 'It's Hard To See The Long Game'
Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) head of product launches has resigned from the company, joining the long list of senior executives to leave as company CEO Elon Musk seeks to downsize the company's workforce.
特斯拉公司。”s（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）產品發佈主管已辭去該公司的職務，加入了公司首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克尋求裁員的行列，他加入了即將離任的高級管理人員行列。
What Happened: Rich Otto took to LinkedIn to announce his departure from the electric vehicle giant.
發生了什麼：裏奇·奧托在領英上宣佈退出這家電動汽車巨頭。
Otto's departure adds him to a growing list of senior executives who have left Tesla in recent weeks, including Senior Director of Charging Infrastructure Rebecca Tinucci, Director of New Product Introduction Daniel Ho, Senior Vice President of Powertrain and Energy Engineering Drew Baglino, and Vice President of Public Policy and Business Development Rohan Patel.
奧托的離職使他加入了最近幾周離開特斯拉的越來越多的高級管理人員名單，包括充電基礎設施高級總監麗貝卡·蒂努奇、新產品介紹總監何丹尼爾、動力總成和能源工程高級副總裁德魯·巴格利諾以及公共政策和業務發展副總裁羅漢·帕特爾。
"Why leave? It's a company I love and that has given me so much, but has also taken its pound of flesh," Otto wrote in his post. He's been with Tesla for about seven years, since 2017.
“爲什麼要離開？這是一家我熱愛的公司，它給了我很多東西，但也付出了沉重的代價。” 奧托在他的帖子中寫道。自2017年以來，他在特斯拉工作了大約七年。
"Great companies are made up of equal parts great people and great products, and the latter are only possible when its people are thriving," Otto wrote.
奧托寫道：“優秀的公司由優秀的人才和優秀的產品等同組成，而後者只有在其員工蓬勃發展時才有可能。”
"The recent layoffs that are rocking the company and its morale have thrown this harmony out of balance and it's hard to see the long game. It was time for a change."
“最近的裁員震驚了公司及其士氣，使這種和諧失去了平衡，很難看到漫長的局面。現在是改變的時候了。”
Otto expressed hope that both the company and the laid-off employees can recover.
奧托表示希望公司和被解僱的員工都能康復。
Why It Matters: Late last month, Tesla announced plans to cut costs through a 10% workforce reduction, impacting an estimated 14,000 employees. These layoffs reflect broader challenges facing the company, including declining sales and pricing pressures.
爲何重要：上個月底，特斯拉宣佈計劃通過裁員10％來削減成本，估計影響了14,000名員工。這些裁員反映了公司面臨的更廣泛挑戰，包括銷售和定價壓力的下降。
For the first quarter, Tesla reported revenue of $21.3 billion, down from the $23.33 billion reported a year earlier. This is the first time the company's quarterly revenue has fallen since the pandemic in 2020. Tesla's net profit stood at $1.13 billion, falling 55% from $2.51 billion a year earlier.
特斯拉公佈的第一季度收入爲213億美元，低於去年同期公佈的233.3億美元。這是該公司的季度收入自2020年疫情以來首次下降。特斯拉的淨利潤爲11.3億美元，較去年同期的25.1億美元下降了55％。
