Elon Musk tells workers to return to the office or quit. The gloves are off: 'Tesla is kick-starting its own local Great Resignation' Some industry observers say Tesla's CEO is throwing himself on the mercy of a very tight labor market. quantanamo
Tesla’s TSLA, +6.24% chief executive officer and founder responded Thursday to an apparent leaked email that called on employees to return to the office: “They should pretend to work somewhere else” were his choice of words on Twitter TWTR, +2.15% in the early hours of Thursday morning.
“Whoever does not agree with such one-sided demands and wants to stand against them has the power of unions behind them in Germany, as per law,” Birgit Dietze, the district leader for IG Metall in Brandenburg Sachsen, said per the news agency. “‘If we feel like somebody is trying to force us to do something we tend to push against that change with equal force.’”
So how many workers — at Telsa and elsewhere — would actually jump ship? “In response to Musk’s demand, almost 60% of employees will return to the office full time,” said Nicholas Bloom, a professor in the department of economics at Stanford University, “but about 7% are likely to quit on the spot and about 30% actively look for another job.” That’s based on his own monthly poll of 2,500 workers.
