Elon Musk’s leaked email asks Tesla employees to return to office or quit
By MYBRANDBOOK
Notifying his staff that remote work is no longer acceptable at the company, Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday shared an email where Musk mentioned that employees must be in office for a minimum of 40 hours, failing which they can depart.
The email that circulated on Twitter read: "Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla."
"This is less than we ask of factory workers," he added.
The tech billionaire also went on to say that in case there are "exceptional contributors" who cannot work the minimum hours in office, Musk himself would review and approve of them directly.
The email also clarified that the "office" must be a main Tesla office and not a remote branch office.
When Musk was asked to comment on people who think working from the office is an "antiquated concept", he replied, "They should pretend to work somewhere else."
In May, Musk heaped praises on China's workforce for "burning the 3 am oil," while saying that people in the US were trying to avoid going to work.
"There's just a lot of super-talented, hardworking people in China who strongly believe in manufacturing," he said in an interview. "They won't just be burning the midnight oil. They will be burning the 3 am. oil," Musk had said. "They won't even leave the factory type of thing, whereas in America people are trying to avoid going to work at all."
