Musk made clear that in-person attendance was now a condition of employment. quote Subject: To be super clear quote Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week. Moreover, the office must be where your actual colleagues are located, not some remote pseudo office. If you don't show up, we will assume you have resigned. quote The more senior you are, the more visible must be your presence. That is why I lived in the factory so much – so that those on the line could see me working alongside them. If I had not done that, Tesla would long ago have gone bankrupt. quote There are of course companies that don't require this, but when was the last time they shipped a great new product? It's been a while. quote Tesla has and will create and actually manufacture the most exciting and meaningful products of any company on Earth. This will not happen by phoning it in. quote Thanks, Elon Read the two emails as published by Electrek. link https://electrek.co/2022/06/01/elon-musk-tesla-employees-come-back-office-or-quit/ Electrek footer.scroll
