Who do you think is an essential part of the social networking site? Whose contributions are worth something to him? Is it possible that you would bet on it?
Musk dared managers to approve remote work in emails he sent to employees. He writes that any manager who falsely claims that someone reporting to them is doing excellent work or that a given role is essential, whether remote or not, will be exited from the company. All employees have until 5PM Thursday to decide if they want to stay at his account or leave.
This is what Musk wrote in his email today.
Regarding remote work, all that is required for approval is that your manager takes responsibility for ensuring that you are making an excellent contribution. It is also expected that you have in-person meetings with your colleagues on a reasonable cadence, ideally weekly, but not less than once per month.
At risk of stating the obvious, any manager who falsely claims that someone reporting to them is doing excellent work or that a given role is essential, whether remote or not, will be exited from the company.
If you can show up in an office and you do not show up at the office, resignation accepted, the reality is that Musk had previously suggested.
On the day after his first Q&A with employees, he wrote that managers would send the exceptions lists to him.
He told those managers that anyone who stands up for a remote worker is going to get their head chopped off.
I can almost hear a villain saying, "Who else wants to play hero?"
It is in the best interest of every manager to say no to remote work requests. Musk won't have to say no himself.
The company that used to offer the most remote work wasTwitter. The company's employees could work from home forever. When it reopened its offices in March of 2022, the CEO said that it would still be possible to work from home.
