June 1 (Reuters) – Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) Chief Executive Elon Musk has asked employees to return to the office or leave the company, according to an email sent to employees on Tuesday night and seen by Reuters.
“Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week,” Musk said in the email.
“If you don’t show up, we will assume you have resigned.”
Two sources confirmed the authenticity of the email reviewed by Reuters. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
Major tech firms in Silicon Valley do not require workers to return to the office full-time, in the face of resistance from some workers and a resurgence of coronavirus cases.
Tesla has moved its headquarters to Austin, Texas, but has one of its factories and its engineering base in the San Francisco Bay area.
“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,” Musk said in the email. more
Says a boss who gives 2 shits about his employees! How sbout, Elon, you can kiss my ass, you POS!
@”Here”
Ever own a business for profit and/or manage employees?
I doubt it.
Here
You’re fired. You lazy bastard.
Here today, gone tomorrow. LOL
I usually find intelligent comments but occasionally I find stupid Here.
Now, listen Here! Leave Here alone! If they weren’t Here, they’d be Somewhere else! Unless they were neither Here nor There, but that’s a Horse of a different color.
Cool, finally a CEO who grew a pair. College is out, new grads looking for a career. Smart to get them fresh out of college.
Poor Elon, when he has support from these, all is lost! But hey buy a Tesla today, burn up tomorrow, asswipes!
I once made a mid night run back to my NorCal 50 man machine shop from Phoenix AZ. Gotta call from one of my set up guys and it seems a couple of my management team were trying to take the shop union while I was out of town. I got there the next morning before they did, fired everyone of them. And I enjoyed it. They were GONE.
Here! Here!
Oh. Sorry. That’s supposed to be HEAR! HEAR!
You’re dismissed, Here.
Go over There.
Mr Musk has it right.
How is a company supposed to make a profit and stay in business with absentee employees? Either show up & be counted. Or stay home & be dismissed. Your choice.
The corporation I work for is taking the opposite approach – hybrid office space!
My office will be gone in a few months – converted to generic office space for “hoteling” – where you reserve a generic office somewhere in the complex every time you go in to work. I’m working from my children’s old “play room” in our basement.
25 years ago I joined this company because it made MANLY products for MEN. We are now lead by a bunch of soy boys with more interest in D, E and I than actually making money.
Funny….the CEO who lead us down this rabbit hole has just announced his retirement today. He’s leaving with a monstrous exit package just before his “leadership” causes the shit to hit the fan…
He’ll be sued until well forever, because that’s the republican way. When Tesla folds & it will, heck, he can always go to the Moon, right Alice. Redumplicans talk about saving a business here, damn thats gotta be a first! Now you know it’s gonna fail!
I’m a real man & own real guns but also part time gay, no monkeying around though! Man’s got to know when to put on his boots.
I get it I do. But given the high price of gas and the success many people have working from home for over two years, why now? What benefit is there to drive to the office to do the same thing you can do at home?
It’s easier to catch goldbrickers at the office instead of their homes (or yachts or whatever).
stop2think some more. working from home works out OK for the service based industry I guess, but not so much for a manufacturer. I’m sure that team he’s addressing is in charge or overseeing lot’s of projects that take collaboration. Much more effective face to face.
BOUT TIME!!!
This covid bullshit needs to end RIGHTFUCKINGNOW.
Anything that pisses off lefties is a good thing.
^^^ Lefties are never right about anything.
It’s a laugh-fest when they voice their displeasure in person.
As a programmer I could have done quite a bit of it at home. As a telephone man I could have done none of it at home. As a broadcast build and removal monkey… of course I had to be there.
See, even as a programmer I had to type shit on a typewriter… and install said shit into other pieces of shit…
As a programmer? Please

Yes, Brad, I was a DMS programmer. And 5ESS. And a programmer in the world of relays. Crossbars, and all that.
Not a fan of Tesla. However, it’s a business requiring in-person dynamics to succeed.
Sounds like Musk is done with Covidians, lazy Millennials and socially awkward, leftist-droned Gen Z in the Tesla workforce. Those groups love the lack of immediate accountability, effective productivity in a Zoom environment.
