Tesla boss Elon Musk shouldn't always be squeamish with his employees.
A manager reveals which absurd rule employees should absolutely follow.
Elon Musk, boss and figurehead of the electric car manufacturer Tesla, seems to have some strange habits.
According to insiders, he should not only work obsessively (100 hours per week *), but always demand top performance from his employees.
Of course, the latter is not unusual - but apparently he likes to overshoot the mark.
Elon Musk's outbursts of anger create absurd rules among employees
As the US magazine
Wired
reported in 2018, Musk is said
to be shooting around with
layoffs on bad days
.
Tesla employees are said to call these outbursts “Elon's anger dismissals”.
A manager is said to have explicitly forbidden his employees to walk too close to the boss's desk if they are interested in their career.
According to the report, a chance encounter at the wrong time or an incorrectly answered question would have been enough to get a dismissal.
Anyone who loves their job in the Gigafactory or wants to apply for a job in the German Tesla factory in Grünheide should know this absurd rule better.
