According to Reuters news on June 3, according to an email sent by Tesla CEO musk to company executives on Thursday, musk said that Tesla needs to "cut about 10% of its jobs"

in this email entitled "suspending all global recruitment", musk said: "I have a super bad feeling about the economy."

according to previous Reuters reports, two sources confirmed that musk asked employees to return to the office or leave the company in an email sent on the evening of May 31

musk wrote in his email: "everyone in Tesla must stay in the office for at least 40 hours a week. If you don't show up, we will think you have resigned... The higher your level, the more obvious your existence must be. That's why I often live in the factory so that those on the production line can see me working with them. If I hadn't done so, Tesla would have gone bankrupt."

in recent years, due to the COVID-19, telecommuting has become a popular trend. The company adjusts its strategy and the employees adjust their status. Telecommuting is not so much forced by the situation as it opens up another option. Some enterprises have long been used to telecommuting and have made great achievements, such as automated, gitlab and other software service companies that are pure telecommuting companies. But the efficiency problems that telecommuting may bring seem to have plagued some companies

recently, an internal e-mail from musk to Tesla employees circulated on foreign social media platforms. In the screenshot of the e-mail, it was written that musk forced employees to work 40 hours a week, and said that he often slept in the factory to let workers see him work: "if I didn't do this, Tesla would have gone bankrupt!"

"never come if you don't"

according to the leaked email content:

for the content transmitted online, the foreign media @wholemarsblog forwarded it on twitter. At the same time, @ Musk's personal twitter account asked, "many people are discussing the leaked email. So, for those who think that office work is an outdated concept, do you have anything to say?"

musk responded at the bottom of this tweet: "if they are not in the office but elsewhere, they may pretend to be working."

as soon as this sentence came out, numerous netizens refuted it:

I think I will never work for Tesla. Ask to go back to the office = I won't work there. In my opinion, working from home can save a lot of time, energy and costs

position has nothing to do with work efficiency. Some people actually work harder in remote places because there are no distractions

efficiency comes first, employee safety comes second

although some netizens also believe that the efficiency of remote office has indeed decreased, many netizens are dissatisfied with this. Due to the recovery of the epidemic and the boycott of employees, major technology companies in Silicon Valley do not require employees to return to their offices for full-time work. Although Tesla has moved its headquarters to Austin, Texas, its engineering base and a factory are still in the San Francisco Bay area

musk said that if he could not go to work, he would be deemed to resign, so it is estimated that some employees will leave. If there is a large-scale outflow, the workload of Tesla's remaining employees may be greatly increased

worksafe executive director Stephen Knight wrote in an email statement to Reuters: "both the state government and the company have found that if all employees are forced to reverse work, it may lead to an outbreak. Unfortunately, Tesla is indifferent to the safety of employees."

other large companies are also gradually requiring employees to rework, such as alphabet, the parent company of Google. However, by contrast, other companies are more "human". Alphabet requires employees to stay at least three days a week from the beginning of April, but many employees have been approved to work completely remotely. Twitter also gives its employees full options. Parag Agrawal, its CEO, tweeted in March that the twitter office will be reopened, but employees can still work from home if they like

will telecommuting really be the future

before the outbreak, most companies worked offline. However, due to the "black swan" incident, they were forced to work online. The change of new office forms caught many employees off guard. However, with the passage of time, telecommuting has become a general trend of work. According to the report of the 2021-2022 survey of Chinese developers released by CSDN, 46% of the respondents in China said that their companies supported remote office

only 4% of the developers who support remote office say they are completely remote, and more than half of the developers say they are rarely or never remote. It can be seen that the advantages of face-to-face communication are still obvious in work

some employees admit that telecommuting can not guarantee productivity, and it is normal to fish secretly. However, most netizens believe that, despite this, such coercion is actually an exploitation, which is difficult to identify. This is also true in the domestic environment. Many developers say that if the company supports telecommuting, it is also a major advantage of recruitment
