create a one page, two paragraph paper making connections between the information you have learned in class about hiring and onboarding, reasons for termination, and the real world example found in your selected article. Some topics we have studied include: remote workers; contract employees; at-will employees; a foreign company operating in the U.S. or a U.S. company operating in a foreign country, etc. An employee can be remote and on a contract or remote and at-will.
The recent case of Stellantis laying off 400 employees who were asked to work from home highlights the complexities and challenges of managing remote workers in today's global economy. As we have learned in class, remote workers can be on contracts or at-will employees, and in this case, it seems that the terminated employees were likely at-will. This situation also brings to light the importance of effective onboarding and communication with remote employees. The sudden decision to let go of the employees who were previously asked to work from home raises questions about the company's termination process and whether proper communication and support were provided to those affected.
Furthermore, this real-world example also sheds light on the issue of how foreign companies operate in the U.S. and how their actions can impact American workers. Stellantis, a multinational corporation, made the decision to lay off employees in the U.S., which can have ripple effects on the local economy and workforce. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and fairness in employment practices, especially when it comes to termination decisions. It also highlights the need for companies to carefully consider the implications of their actions on their employees, whether they are remote workers or work on-site.
