Elon Musk has told Tesla employees to return to the office or leave the company, according to a leaked note.
“Anyone who wants to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean a minimum) of 40 hours a week or leave Tesla,” the CEO said in a message to staff, circulating Social Networks.
Although the authenticity of the note has not been verified and the electric car company has not yet issued an official response to inquiries, Musk responded to a Twitter user who asked “any additional comments.” to people who think going to work is outdated? “
“They should pretend to work elsewhere,” the billionaire tycoon replied.
Musk would “review and approve” any cases in which workers could not meet the minimum, according to the note.
Tesla joins several companies demanding the return of staff to the office.
While some major employers have adopted home-based volunteering policies on a permanent basis, others, including Alphabet Google, choose to encourage face-to-face interactions among their peers.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted in March that the company’s social media offices would reopen, but employees could still work from home if they wanted to.
“Where you feel most productive and creative is where you will work and that includes working from home full time forever,” he said.
It comes after Musk launched a bid in April to make Twitter private in a $ 44 billion (£ 35 billion) deal.
