Elon Musk Warned Employees To Come Back Or Leave

The pandemic has changed the world of work, and that has long been clear. Because many companies have introduced the home office during the lockdown and the experience has been so good that the companies are sticking to it – not Elon Musk’s companies. While working from home has its problems, the bottom line is that many employees and employers have come to appreciate its benefits.

Many companies also rely on hybrid models that give employees more or less freedom, but still want to motivate them to work with colleagues in the office. Not so Elon Musk: The Tesla boss has very clearly put a stop to his employees who do not work in factories. As Electrek reports that the chief of the electric car maker recently sent out a series of emails that essentially forced employees to go back to the office. Those who do not want that will be fired, says the 50-year-old.

“bro or you can go”

“Anyone who wants to work remotely must be in the office or at Tesla for at least 40 hours a week. That’s less than what we ask of factory workers,” Musk writes. He also emphasizes that he is also dead serious about “bro”: “Besides, the bro should be where the real colleagues are, not some remote pseudo-bro. If you don’t show up, we’ll assume he or she has fired.” taken.” There may be exceptions in some cases, but he will personally check and approve them – so you can calculate how many will try.

Referring to workers (and himself) staying at the factory in another post, he said: “The higher the position, the more visible you need to be. That’s why I lived in the factory so often so the workers could see me at work.” If I hadn’t, Tesla would have been bankrupt long ago.”
