> “Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week,”

Tesla is RTO. Quit defending this billionaires psychopathic behavior. This is not a healthy way to run a company



I guess I over-indexed on the "Tesla Execs" in the headline.

I don't think requiring 40 hours in office makes you "psychopathic". People can quit if they don't like it shrug


They were a remote-first org dude. Many had no childcare set up, long commutes, or were on H1Bs as well. This isn’t a “if they don’t like it, quit.” Type of situation. It’s being manipulated into padding the ego of a billionaire with no gain.

I hope you don’t manage a team or have any responsibility for the well-being of others. I’m quite shocked at how little sympathy you have for strangers


My statement referred to Tesla. I agree that it sucks for Twitter employees who depended on remote work arrangements.

However, 7500 people is way too much staff in my opinion. As I mentioned, I worked at one of the world's biggest websites and it had about 1% of that staff.

Realistically, if an unprofitable company is getting acquired, the acquirer is most likely going to cut a lot of positions. One way to do this is to be really demanding and let people self-select out of the company. 3 months severance is a decent period of time to find a new job.

Remember many/most of these people are in the global upper class https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/07/21/are-you-in-... In the grand scheme of things, they aren't suffering that much
