At the same time, a friend who interviewed there got told "You need to work hard and probably on evenings and weekends too". Not a big selling point in Sweden where work / life balance is important (especially to those having or wanting a family).
- VadimPR 5y agoIsn't one of the execs ex-Musk employee? Sad to see this culture creeping into EU.
- zibzab 5y agoOh, he is very much imitating Musk. Inhumane working conditions, getting tons of money from the government, toxic work environment, ignoring OSHA, you name it. Was just recently investigated for sneaking in unregistered immigrant workers into their facility. Obviously they were working extremely long hours + weekends for peanuts while sidestepping all safety rules.
- maxdo 5y agohas nothing to do with Tesla. Long hours yes, but a paid one, so it's a decision made by workers. Nothing wrong with that.
- kwhitefoot 5y ago> Long hours yes, but a paid one, so it's a decision made by workers. Nothing wrong with that. Not in the EU generally, and especially not in Scandinavia. At least in Norway working overtime is only allowed up to a legally specified limit, even if you volunteer for it. The limit is 400 hours per 52 weeks and that will require permission from the Labour Inspection Authority (Arbeidstilsynet).

- drakonka 5y agoThat's not how it works. We have employee protections that are intended to prevent exploitation. If those are failing, there is definitely something wrong with that.
