‘You’re obviously not paying me enough’: Worker says manager couldn’t believe he had a Tesla, sparking debate
A viral TikToker says he had a "crazy" experience when his manager couldn't believe that he owned a Tesla.
The TikToker (@techbyantrell) says in one of his recent videos that he was on an outing with co-workers from his job at the time. He adds that he was running late and told one of the managers that he would have to charge his car. The manager asked what kind of car he had, and he told her it was a Tesla.
Shocked, the manager asked the TikToker how he had a Tesla, he says.
"My thing is if you have to question why I have a Tesla, that means you're obviously not paying me enough," the TikToker says in his video. "Why are you asking me that?"
He says his manager then proceeded to ask what his parents do for a living, where he's from and other personal questions to figure out his finances. The TikToker says the situation was "insane" and adds that he quit the job two months after the incident.
