Tesla boss Elon Musk takes sides against smartworking.
The richest man on earth asked Tesla staff to return to face-to-face work by launching an attack on the human resources office based in a location other than the registered office
“Anyone who wants to work remotely must be in the office at least 40 hours a week or leave Tesla” Musk wrote in a note to employees.
Employees of the automaker are now expected to spend a minimum of 40 hours a week in the office or they will be fired.
In a letter sent by Musk to Tesla staff yesterday and leaked online this morning it said: “This is less than we ask the workers. “If there are any particularly outstanding contributors for whom this is impossible, I will directly review and approve those exceptions.”
He appears to be addressing a particular staff member directly, citing an example of one person “Human resources manager of the factory of Fremontbut with an office in another state “.
Musk’s comment on the news is that Tesla employees will have to “pretend to work somewhere else “.
Tesla’s attitude towards remote work has never been too “friendly”. In the recent lockdown period in Shanghai, Tesla employees slept in the factory in order to restart production during the April restriction period, as commuting was prohibited.
