I think the notion of a CEO doing all the things their workers do purely out of solidarity to be shallow and condescending. Obviously his job is different from theirs and he is going to have a different set of rules. And I doubt any of them would want to put in the number of hours he puts in. He's clearly a workaholic.
- khazhoux 4y ago> I doubt any of them would want to put in the number of hours he puts in. I guess that would depend on whether they'd be getting employee comp/equity, or Elon's comp/equity.
- MetaWhirledPeas 4y agoMy point is, gestures like "you're coming into the office, so I'm coming into the office" are simultaneously empty and counterproductive. His job involves travel, period. And besides, he owns the place.
- coddle-hark 4y agoHmm it’s almost like we should let the people actually doing the job decide how best to do them, hmmmm

I do expect her to be present and actively communicating with staff during a massive layoff. I do expect her to respect the time of thousands of employees by being timely to meetings she called. I do expect to hear about my job status from a living person, not a batch email sent to my PERSONAL email address.
- cowpig 4y agoShowing up late to an all-hands meeting of thousands of employees is wasting thousands of hours of peoples' time. I don't care how important you think his time is that's not going to add up to a rational choice
- piva00 4y agoYou almost make it sound like we're back to aristocracy. He's the fucking CEO, not a Lord over his servants.
