Experts said that the Tesla return-to-office policy negatively affects the company's employees. When the global COVID-19 pandemic began, Elon Musk allowed his Tesla employees to work remotely.
But, as health protocols eased in many countries, the billionaire confirmed that the automaker's staff are required to go back to their physical offices.
The Tesla CEO confirmed this via an email sent to employees on May 31. He said they must spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office every week.
However, CNBC reported that the giant EV developer lacks offices and other resources needed to assist returning employees.
How Does Tesla's Return-to-Office Policy Negatively Affect Employees
The lack of Tesla offices was confirmed by some of the automaker staff working in the United States.
They claimed that Tesla couldn't increase its physical offices since the company is busy constructing international hubs and a new factory in Texas.
On the other hand, some Tesla employees in San Francisco Bay Area allegedly don't have enough desk space, parking spots, chairs, and other essential resources.
Thus, they struggled to complete their in-office schedules. This forced the company to require staff to report to their offices twice a week.
Didn't Tesla Employees Show Up to Office?
According to Teslarati's latest report, one out of eight Tesla employees at Fremont Factory is absent on a daily basis.
Overall, the automaker's internal records confirmed that one out of 10 staff is not able to report to the office on a typical day.
Aside from the lack of needed resources, experts stated that Tesla's strict return-to-office rules also affect its employees' morale.
