Zil posted:Is this a subtle way of reducing headcount since Telsa stock has tanked? If I were a betting man, I'd say it has to do with keeping employee chit-chat where the supervisors can hear it. Either because of fear of unionization or in the wake of Boss Man's sexual harassment scandal, or both. No phones allowed, company monitored wifi and slack, keep fraternization to a minimum.

Yeah what good is being lord over everyone if you can't walk around and lord over everyone? It's that simple. During the pandemic i've seen a few boomer managers lose their minds over not being able to walk around and office and micromanage the slaves.

It's just a conservative boomer mindset. After Musk moved to Texas for his new factory, he became infested with GOP boomer brainworms there. He went from denying Covid, to switching to be a republican, to openly supporting Trump (and trying to unban him from Twitter no matter the cost). I think at this point he's a few months away from saying the election has been stolen and that the jewish space lasers can only be defeated by SpaceX gunships.

I’m no real-life Tony Stark uber genius or nothing, but threatening your executives and making their jobs/lives harder doesn’t seem like a recipe for long term success. Especially not when their skills are in high demand and competition in the EV space is ramping up at an incredible pace. That valuation higher than every other auto maker combined is going to correct itself sooner or later.

Also - the article above says it went to execs, but there was actually a follow-up email that went to all staff, just to make it clear that everyone at Tesla needs to be thinking about doing 40 hours in the office minimum.

Durzel posted:That's what a friend of mine said earlier today - "could also be a way of getting rid of a load of folks without having to actually announce layoffs". This is not smart since in layoffs you want to target your lowest-performing staff or the ones who are no longer needed. Creating lovely policies drives away your most valuable and highest performing staff instead. People who are already being headhunted and have desirable skillsets will be the first to jump. He will lose all the smart engineers and developers, there are hundreds of tech companies that are 100% remote that are poaching tech talent right now. Even the ones who specifically want to work in EV sector AND at the same time be in a cool startup can go to Lucid, Rivian, Fisker, or Polestar which all have thousands of jobs open between them and billions in funding. This isn't 2010 anymore with Tesla being the only game in town. Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Jun 1, 2022 |

quote:Musk wrote that “anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask of factory workers.” working 80 hour weeks, camping at the factory while boss man elon shows his dick to flight attendants

Does he think Twitter is tanking because his employees aren't working hard enough, and not because he's putting his 17% stake in the company up as a collateral in a high-interest margin loan to overpay for a lovely unprofitable social media company? I already know the answer to this. Of course it's the employee's fault.

Tesla had started firing hundreds of other employees for performance reasons—more than 700 would eventually be let go. Musk was scheduled to talk to the plant’s workers, to inspire them to push through what Musk had forecast would be a “manufacturing hell.” The Gigafactory needed widespread fixes; there was no way the plant would produce 5,000 batteries a week anytime soon.

Main Paineframe posted:hard to have a management style like this over Skype The lead of my department on 1st shift has this management style; last night my boss and I root caused a giant fuckup where an incorrect resistor was placed on an entire work order of boards to one of her passdowns, where she openly admitted to splicing reels off the shelf and forcing someone else to do it too while DEK was there working on the screen printer. Her number is the one on the reel that is half the wrong part. She didn't come in to work today; idk why not. Not like she's ever gotten in trouble for open harassment or loving bricking whole work orders before.

I knew a lady who worked from home back in 2020 that somehow still managed to have office drama with a co-worker that she hadn't seen since their company issued the WFH directive To me, that's just further proof that WFH should be the norm rather than the exception, but until they figure out effective ways to let useless managers micromanage people remotely, the more lovely companies will absolutely insist on everyone coming back to the office now that COVID is  over

in my experience you do have to micro manage to get things done sometimes and if you are too hands off people will just start missing deadlinss but if you constantly have to rely on it that means you are not managing things properly to begin with

My first job the CEO/Owner believed you didn't need more than 4 hours of sleep a night, everyone else was just lazy. So he would do what Elon here was doing but be so sleep deprived he'd forget he ever fired someone. It was like a person giving themselves alzheimers.

Micromanaging is basically trying to insert yourself into every single aspect of the job or project, no matter how minute the detail, and hovering over everyone like a mother hen to make sure they do it exactly how you want it done. It's borne of insecurity; of worrying that things just won't get done right without your constant personal involvement, and of a constant need for recognition (both from your superiors praising you, and from making sure your subordinates know just exactly who the boss is). It's counterintuitive to good management because it actually slows things down and puts roadblocks in the way of the people doing the actual work. There's never a legitimate need for that style of management.
