"Tesla’s white-collar staff face a stark choice: return to the office like their colleagues on the assembly line—or start cleaning out their desks.

In a leaked email from Elon Musk sent on Tuesday titled “Remote work is no longer acceptable,” the polarizing centibillionaire said only in extreme cases where this was deemed impossible would he personally decide whether to reconsider his decree.

“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,” he wrote in an email shared by Tesla shareholder Sam Nissim.

Many proponents of working from home (WFH) argue it can improve quality of life. Yet there are also those that believe it can foster social inequality, warning it creates a two-class workforce in which yuppies enjoy all the advantages flexibility has to offer while blue-collar employees have none.

In a possible reference to Chinese staff building cars during 12-hour shifts while sleeping on the shop floor during a COVID lockdown, he added: “This is less than [what] we ask of factory workers.”"

If anyone is forced to go back to the office they should make it clear that their day ends when they leave the office. No emails, calls, or texts.

ANOTHER Silver Spoon claiming working class peasants are lazy, surprise surprise. I mean imagine 40hrs being the bare minimum?!?! What is the average? What kind of home and family life is that?

[martinisholt]

One good thing that came from the pandemic: People had a chance for the 1st time in years to see how money hungry and vicious corporations they work for are and how much more important spending time with their families is. That adds up to the growing labor movement we are seeing with unionizations and ppl leaving jobs that are stressful for more flexible options. Door Dash has never been as popular because they literally have drivers on call everywhere just about. Ppl realize that working their entire lives for these companies that are purposely suppressing their wages while simultaneously raising the price of goods is just a death sentence. Live life

Working from home is awesome! Trust your employees or don't hire them. Watch the results, not the time spent in an office.

This is all about real-estate. If workers can work remotely you have no need for the offices or non-residential skyscrapers.

Sorry Elon...workers aren't lazy, they have just decided not to be "wage slaves"...if they were making your salary they might have more interest in commuting...give them all a new Tesla to drive to work as an incentive!! 😂😂😂😂

I resigned from a "good" job because of a boss who was so insanely micromanaging it was borderline abusive. Everyone knew it and said I understand, and I'm sorry, but no management would actually take action. Just keep letting her driver off employees. Em'kay 🤷

[ckcnj]

He’s demanding a minimum of 40 hrs which is less than the require of factory workers??? It’s time to check those time cards to make sure people are getting paid for OT.

[rebelimgs]

And the people still love this guy. It's the worst.

[Mia]

Haha no, I started working from home before the pandemic and I'm never going back to the office, I'm not crazy. Almost no one in IT works from office and we'd know the best about productivity.

3hr round trip commute per day plus parking at $450 a month, plus license, insurance, gas, maintenance and unnecessary traffic congestion.

Elon Musk tries to market himself as a genius, but he came from a rich family, bought businesses, cracked the whip and took credit for his employees’ innovation.

"How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? ”

He wants workers to get out of the house and do more “economically stimulating activities” on their way to work.

[Junk_Yogurt]

Musk apparently has plenty of time to play Elden Ring and tweet a lot. Like most ultra rich he over-exaggerates the amount of work he does

[thomandstacieverroad]

Well, if he's complaining and calling them lazy now what do you think he'll say when they finally decide to unionize to get some fair treatment?

[RichardServello]

I’m 100% with Ana. Work something I do to earn a living not to make friends. If I don’t have to be somewhere to work I won’t be.

[jonsymonds]

Agreed! I have worked both in an office and remotely and I agree its more efficient to work from home. I have had a boss recently that wants workers in the office but I can do the same work on zoom remotely.

[GatormanEsquire]

Elon's email is obviously not directed toward the executives..
