*For executive staff - headline should be updated.
This is normal and understandable - if you work in a position of leadership in any company where a large part of the workforce need to be onsite (eg: a factory or another manufacturing type environment), then it's a huge morale thing if your bosses are simply never around.
If you've never worked in this type of company, either as a line-worker or in management, you won't understand this, as your frame of reference is our wonderfully comfortable tech-only remote-always orgs. This simply isn't possible for most other businesses where being onsite with your human reports is highly important since they themselves cannot work remote.
- chii 4y agoit depends - if your direct reports must be on site to work, it does make them feel salty that their boss isn't there with them. But you could make it work, if the relationship is one of mutual respect and trust. If the boss is there to micromanage or to enforce work quotas, then it won't work.
- nixgeek 4y agoNo, it’s from Elon to his ExecStaff distribution list informing them of a policy change. They’re to execute and he will personally review exceptions. This means expectations for Tesla are now you work from an office or Elon must personally approve the exception.

- fzzzy 4y agoYeah, you're right, not having your boss around is a huge boost to morale.
