Elon Musk sent an email to Tesla employees saying that they should work a minimum of 4 hours in the office.
He said remote work may not be as effective or productive as working from a physical location.
But one expert says Musk would need a miracle if he wants people to stick with him.
Elon Musk recently told Tesla employees that they must work a minimum of 4 hours a week in the office.
However, experts say the world's richest man is wrong to say that logging in from home during the pandemic misled people into thinking they don't need to work hard. he expects people to even stay with him...let alone be more productive. Musks' comments - that remote work simply cannot be as effective or productive as working from a physical location - place him in a small minority of business owners who are betting the future of their organizations on the organization design principles of the past, he said.
Gallimore, who consults on human resources issues, added that the odds are stacked against him with lots of different research suggesting as few as 1% of people actually want to work from the office full time. Insider reached out to Musk for comment via Tesla. Pew Research Center, an independent US think tank on social issues, found that people who continue to work from home do so because they want to, not because they have to. If Musk does eventually take control of Twitter, his demands could disrupt the company's remote work arrangements. Nicole Penn, president of an advertising and marketing agency called EGC Group, told Insider Every employee has environments that increase or decrease her productivity. If Tesla's culture is based on collaboration and factory-born ideas, it's not possible for a remote team member to connect efficiently.
Penn believes the inflexibility of working in the office full-time is outdated and ruling out any remote or hybrid workers excludes potential high-performing candidates. She has to wonder if Elon will retain top talent who need and appreciate more flexibility, she added. After making a $44 billion offer to buy Twitter, he appears to be on the brink of abandoning the deal over his refusal to prove the number of fake accounts. At 22, Twitter was one of the first major tech companies to offer a work-from-home forever policy.
More recently, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said employees could also work from home forever. Australian software billionaire Scott Farquhar called Musks out of the 195 and said his employees have the option to work from wherever they want, calling it Team Anywhere. Musk envisions productivity and requires Tesla employees to work a minimum of set hours in the office, which has not gone down well with many, calling it old-fashioned. Musk believes that there is no secret to a successful business to work and work hard.
But Musk isn't the only one who believes office work is best. Joe Camberato, CEO of National Business Capital, which offers small business loans, said regardless of industry, I still believe an amazing culture is built by working together in an office.
I agree with his statement because his business is building cars in a factory and I don't really understand how you can do it most effectively remotely, added Camberato. Musk said in his initial email that it's important for top managers to be seen around the office. That was one of the reasons he lived in the Tesla factory in Fremont, California, when the company was struggling to ramp up production in the 217s and 218s. If he hadn't done that, Tesla would have gone bankrupt long ago. . Of course, there are companies that don't require this, but when was the last time they shipped a great new product? It's been a while Musk wrote.
