As companies across the country transition into a return to normalcy, it's difficult for them to get their workers back to work.
According to CNBC, one-eighth of workers were absent on any given day, compared to one-tenth of the company's workforce. It was reported that the company doesn't have room or resources to bring all of its employees back to the office.
In July, Musk made a big stink over workplace attendance and went after employees that wanted to work from home.
We will assume you have resigned if you don't show up. If you want to do remote work, you need to be in the office for at least 40 hours a week.
It quickly became apparent that the offices didn't have enough parking spots or chairs to accommodate returning workers so they had to reduce the number of workdays from three to two.
During ongoing supply chain shortages an under-resourced workplace isn't shocking. CNBC found that Musk's managers had to tell some employees to work from home because the workplace was too crowded.
Musk might have a bigger problem than just a lack of desks. According to internal messages obtained by CNBC, Musk's abrupt return-to-work policy has caused a drastic drop in employee contentment.
According to CNBC, the trend is likely to be worsened by alleged dismissals without warning for those who could not immediately relocate, as well as layoffs in June.
CNBC says that instead of alleviating the hardline attendance policy, the company has doubled down and begun to more closely monitor employee attendance. Musk now gets weekly reports on his absence.
It seems less like a reasonable enforcement of discipline and more like Musk losing his control.
Musk is angry that the government is not giving him more free money.
