I always find the forced PR photos a bit strange, is this normal for a lot of companies across the pond?

  I've work for a company that does these from time to time and they've always been optional. For big milestones, there are typically quite a few people who are genuinely excited and it's nice to see photos like these posted in the lobby for posterity. If I was crunching at Tesla for months I'd probably want to be in this picture, too. As long as it's optional for folks that want to join in, I actually see it as a nice thing (for us it's a time where we can hang out with the CEO a bit, something that's rare for as large as we are)

  Yeah, my former company used to take a group photo every year outdoors on the small patch of grass our parking lot had.

  Don't work for Tesla but I always found these (forced team photos) to be interesting to look back to in the future, especially for the projects I was involved in. They bring back good memories!

  In the US Army, they'd make us pose for shoots like this after something we jokingly called "Mandatory Fun". You can come to this totally optional event to promote $SOMETHING this weekend, and if you do, you get the day off Monday. If you don't, you get to scrub the halls, wax the floors, and inspect the vehicles at the motorpool. It was optional "technically", but mandatory in reality.
