Tesla CEO Elon Musk wants employees to return to office as soon as possible. On Tuesday (May 31 2022), he sent an email to his employees informing them that remote working is no longer permitted in the organization.

Employees who do not wish to return to the workplace can quit, according to the billionaire. “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,” Musk said in a leaked email that has since spread on Twitter.

Based on Bloomberg reporting, many bosses have wished for some sort of leverage to entice more employees to return to the workplace. Worries about the recession, a series of employment restrictions, and a scathing retort from the world’s richest person like Elon Musk may have just made matters worse.
