> Of course, springing this on already remote workers is problematic. Tesla is no stranger to low employee retention. In the short term they will have an exodus but perhaps in the longer term they'll have a workforce more aligned to their culture. From Elon Musk's statement, Tesla's employees have far more pressing matters plaguing their employee relations than the crapfeat that's this remote vs on-site stance. Once your eggregious boss makes it his point to refer to mandatory minimum work hours of 40h/week, this means Tesla's employees are already being exploited and subjected to abusive working conditions that are recognized and imposed from the very top. Elon Musk sounds like a Dickensian factory worker, and working for such a character sounds equally soul-crushing, even if you work from home.
