Musk tells Tesla employees to get their butts back to office or they can ‘pretend to work somewhere else’
June 1, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
CEO Elon Musk informed his Tesla employees on Tuesday that they need to be back in the main office working at least 40 hours a week or they can head for greener pastures and “pretend to work somewhere else.”
Two blunt emails were leaked on Twitter with the first one putting employees on notice: “Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask of factory workers.”
“If there are particularly exceptional contributors for whom this is impossible, I will review and approve those exceptions directly,” Musk reportedly noted. “Moreover, the ‘office’ must be a main Tesla office, not a remote branch office unrelated to the job duties.”
One Twitter user asked Musk to respond to Tesla employees who consider working in-person to be an “antiquated concept.”
The billionaire tersely replied, “They should pretend to work somewhere else.”
