I'm predicting that Musk will soften his mandate when he sees who quits and where those valuable employees go for their new jobs. That means they're more devoted to the company's objectives, less likely to quit, and more productive. Remote workers are happier, too, according to the mental health research website Tracking Happiness. And companies adapt their management systems, technologies, and workflow systems to follow suit.Īn additional factor, according to Bloom, is that we're no longer under the oppression of lockdown - employees are re-engaging with their social support systems - daycare, school, friends, and all the rest. It turns out that employees adapt behaviorally and psychologically to remote work. (That conclusion is from self-reported data and objective measures of productivity.) In fact, by now, everybody should know that.Īccording to new data from Stanford University professor Nicholas Bloom, work-from-home employees are more productive now than they were at the start of the pandemic.
Musk knows employees who work 40 hours in the office and the rest at home are being very productive working remotely.
(Musk himself claims to work between 80 and 90 hours per week.)Īnd yet Musk intends to mandate just 40 hours per week in the office.Īnything beyond that is just "pretend" work? If Musk really believed working from home is just pretend work, he would have mandated that all 60 or 70 hours take place in the office. In fact, the company's success and dominance in the electric car market depend on employees working 60 or 70 hours a week. Tesla's corporate culture is driven by employees working way more than 40 hours a week.
