No, this is just going back to normality. This is how it was in 2019. IMO certain professions may be ok with remote but for the most part, the kind of work Tesla does, remote work is suboptimal. We are going to see a bifurcation of companies that adopt either strategies. Time will tell.

> the kind of work Tesla does, remote work is suboptimal. What's _the kind of work Tesla does_? Sure, remote assembly may be suboptimal. What about software development? Operations? Etc. You don't need face to face all the time. But sure, be a dick and give a one week deadline for people to adjust again and see how it goes.

  I sense a bit of frustration and rudeness in your response, not sure why. I've worked as a engineer (not software) and most of the things get done in person, in the lab and in cubicles. Brainstorm on physical objects, looking at CAD models and comparing geometry, reviewing drawings, troubleshooting manufacturing problems, etc. Even operations requires interfacing with manufacturing leads which are in the factory. If you have an axe to grind about WFH, probably should work as a non-software engineer or talk to someone who does and have a sense that perhaps your view is biased towards a particular type of personality that you may have. Even amongst software engineers, there is a debate about how well WFH works.

> The kind of work Tesla does The factory workers are already in the factories. The ones remote are the ones who can do their work remote and the company has only broken records since the pandemic started with remote work. Elon himself says, you can do remote work, after you’ve been in the office for 40 hours, implying, that remote work is totally possible
