Elon Musk's 'antiquated' views on working from home threatens to rob Tesla of top talent, experts say
Business Insider ^ | Jun 11, 2022 | Sam Tabahriti

Elon Musk recently told Tesla employees they must work a minimum of 40 hours a week in the office.

However, experts say the world's richest man is wrong to say that logging on from home during the pandemic "tricked" people into thinking they don't need to work hard.

Nick Gallimore, director of innovation at Advanced People Management, told Insider that Musk would need "something of a miracle if he expects people to even stick with him ... let alone be more productive."

"Musk's comments – that remote work simply can't be as effective or as productive as working from a physical location – put 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.

Elon Musk emailed Tesla employees saying they should work a minimum of 40 hours in the office. He said that remote work can't be as effective or as productive as working from a physical location. But an expert says Musk would need a "miracle" if he wants people to stick with him.

“experts” and the notoriously left wing “Business” Insider.

There’s two to draw to.

I suspect that Musk is three or four moves ahead of those playing checkers. Hard to argue with his critical thinking skills.

Ever heard of the ‘boss key’ on computers? You don’t need one when working from home. The truly self motivated will be productive anywhere. The other 80%, not so much.

I had an office for about 20 years. I made sure I went to the Office every day even though I could have done much of it at home. It’s simple discipline and beneficial.

Hi.

Recently there have been many stories in the news about Elon Musk. Some regarding the current administration (doj, sec), others regarding his private life (philanthropy). Other stories about how bad he treats his employees.

And there are many others in the corporate media.

Methinks this Twitter purchase brought ALL the Long Knives out.

Check six Elon.

Musk subsequently announcing that he is looking at cutting 10% of his salaried staff makes his comments suspect.

(It won't stop anyone from bloviating here, but we can hopefully agree that we have no idea what Elon Musk really thinks about bringing people back into the office.)

Maybe he’s right and maybe he’s wrong. But the mass work from home phenomenon is so new I don’t think anyone can say anything with authority. It will take at least a decade to know for sure.

[...] experts say the world's richest man is wrong to say that [...]

Hah-hah!

Let's first watch these "experts" start up a business and then "grow" it!

I wouldn’t want to work for him, as he’s a massive workaholic.

That said, I admire him.

You sure you know much about the guy? Any CEO that posts they're about to take the company public for 420 a share while stoned and bluffing isn't exactly playing 4-D chess.

Would you want to commute an hour each way right now?
Do you like losing 10 hours of your life every week?
One woke retard overhears something they don’t like and you’re in HR.

Most experts have been wrong lately. Never forget Biden’s 20 “Expert Nobel Prize” winning economists. Now look where we are!

FYI experts, it’s more difficult to be part of the corporate community if you are out of touch. The guy/gal coming into the office will have more influence than pajama boy/gal who stays at home. Common sense “Experts”!
