2010 年马化腾的一次 QQ 弹窗，让本来在人生关键时分才会被写下的一句“困难的决议”成为网络热词。

从此之后，做出“困难的决议”变得不再困难，很多时分困难的决议也未必招致不开心的后果。

比方明天，马斯克就做出了一个“困难的决议”。

明天早上，马斯克在 Twitter 上和一封发向全体员工的电子邮件中表示，特斯拉将裁员 9%。

近些年特斯拉飞速的扩张，也让团队成员的数量随之飞速收缩，特斯拉本人发布的全球雇员人数曾经超越了 30000 人，这还是在兼并 SolarCity 太阳城之后裁员了 20% 的后果。

虽说更弱小的人力团队是每个成功企业的必备资源，但更多的人员构造也招致了特斯拉日益复杂的管理层级和减缓的沟通执行效率。

进入 2018 年以来，马斯克关于最重要的任务部门采取了直管的方式，以便减速推进中心目的的完成，在往年 2 月，马斯克直接担任了特斯拉的销售部门，而 4 月份马斯克睡工厂的音讯，也印证了他开端直管工厂消费的传言。

在上个月的地下信中，马斯克曾经明白了特斯拉将进一步精简层级，增加供给商和不用要的驻厂人员，而曾经在本周开端的裁员，只是上封信落下的第二只靴子。

被裁掉的员工全部属于固定薪酬职位，并且与消费岗位有关，在这个 Model 3 产能飙升的时分，马斯克不允许消费呈现一丝成绩。

这番牺牲和努力，也与特斯拉希望在本年度完成盈利有关，开源和节流是永远的法宝，经过更多的车型与产量停止开源之后，持续提升人效也是节流的关键措施。

马斯克也表示“说再见十分难”，将对每一位被裁员工提供可观的薪酬以及股票赔偿。

“我们明天做出这一困难的决议，是为了当前不再这样做”。

不过与特斯拉决议的困难不同，各界对特斯拉这一举措做出评价就不难了，不信你看看股价。

Subject: Reorg Update

As described previously, we are conducting a comprehensive organizational restructuring across our whole company. Tesla has grown and evolved rapidly over the past several years, which has resulted in some duplication of roles and some job functions that, while they made sense in the past, are difficult to justify today.

As part of this effort, and the need to reduce costs and become profitable, we have made the difficult decision to let go of approximately 9% of our colleagues across the company. These cuts were almost entirely made from our salaried population and no production associates were included, so this will not affect our ability to reach Model 3 production targets in the coming months.

Given that Tesla has never made an annual profit in the almost 15 years since we have existed, profit is obviously not what motivates us. What drives us is our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable, clean energy, but we will never achieve that mission unless we eventually demonstrate that we can be sustainably profitable. That is a valid and fair criticism of Tesla’s history to date.

This week, we are informing those whose roles are impacted by this action. We made these decisions by evaluating the criticality of each position, whether certain jobs could be done more efficiently and productively, and by assessing the specific skills and abilities of each individual in the company. As you know, we are also continuing to flatten our management structure to help us communicate better, eliminate bureaucracy and move faster.

In addition to this company-wide restructuring, we have decided not to renew our residential sales agreement with Home Depot in order to focus our efforts on selling solar power in Tesla stores and online. The majority of Tesla employees working at Home Depot will be offered the opportunity to move over to Tesla retail locations.

I would like to thank everyone who is departing Tesla for their hard work over the years. I’m deeply grateful for your many contributions to our mission. It is very difficult to say goodbye. In order to minimize the impact, Tesla is providing significant salary and stock vesting (proportionate to length of service) to those we are letting go.

To be clear, Tesla will still continue to hire outstanding talent in critical roles as we move forward and there is still a significant need for additional production personnel. I also want to emphasize that we are making this hard decision now so that we never have to do this again.

To those who are departing, thank you for everything you have done for Tesla and we wish you well in your future opportunities. To those remaining, I would like to thank you in advance for the difficult job that remains ahead. We are a small company in one of the toughest and most competitive industries on Earth, where just staying alive, let alone growing, is a form of victory (Tesla and Ford remain the only American car companies who haven’t gone bankrupt). Yet, despite our tiny size, Tesla has already played a major role in moving the auto industry towards sustainable electric transport and moving the energy industry towards sustainable power generation and storage. We must continue to drive that forward for the good of the world.

Thanks, Elon

与之前沟经过的一样，我们公司正在停止片面的组织重组。在过来的几年中，特斯拉获得了迅速的生长与退化，这也带来了任务职位和职能的反复，一些在过来被证明是有价值的任务，在明天却很难被保存。

作为这一景象的后果，以及为了更好地降低本钱完成盈利，我们做出了一个困难的决议，那就是辞退公司大约 9% 的同事。这些职位全部属于特斯拉的固定薪酬岗位，并不会触及到与消费相关的人员，因而这并不会影响到我们将来几个月 Model 3 的产能目的。

思索到在特斯拉之前的 15 年历史中我们从未完成过年度盈利，可以说利润并不是我们的首要动力，毕竟我们的中心使命是减速世界向可继续动力的转变。但完成可继续的盈利是我们完成这一使命的必经途径，同时盈利也是对特斯拉迄今为止一切努力的合理且公正的报答。

我们将在本周告诉一切遭到裁员影响的人。我们将经过评价每个职位的必要性来做出最终的决议。我们将评判一项任务能否可以更高效、更无效的停止，以及评判每团体员的技艺与才能程度。我们的目的是持续精简我们的管理构造，以协助我们更好地沟通，增加官僚主义的影响并提升我们的举动速度。

除了特斯拉公司内的重组，我们决议不在与 Home Depot 持续签署住宅配套的太阳能销售协议，我们将集中精神在特斯拉直营店在在线商城中销售太阳能，绝大少数在 Home Depot 任务的特斯拉员工将无机会取得在特斯拉直营店任务的时机。

我要感激一切因而分开特斯拉的人，感激他们这些年来付出的辛勤休息，说再见真的很难，为了增加裁员带来的遗憾，我们将为一切被裁员员工提供可观的薪酬和股票作为补偿。

必需要指出的是，随着特斯拉的进一步开展，我们还将会招聘优秀的人才来填充我们的关键岗位，同时特斯拉也需求少量的消费人员。我们明天做出这个困难的决议，只是为了当前不用再做出相反的决议。

关于将要分开的各位同仁，我要感激你们为特斯拉所做的一切，我祝福你们在将来一切顺利。而关于留下的同事们，我也要提早感激你们行将做出的艰辛努力。我们是地球上最具应战性和最具难度的行业中的一家小公司，不必说开展，即使是能活上去就是一种成功。（特斯拉和福特还是美国汽车界仅有的没有破产过的公司）但除去规模之外，特斯拉曾经在推进汽车行业转向可继续动力、推进新动力行业开展和储能行业开展方面发扬了重要作用。我们必需为了世界去减速这种转变。

谢谢你们，伊隆。
