Tesla's got 100k employees worldwide. That's def a bit too many for a company this size.

He stayed away from office for too long?  😁

He has a rectangular face and it is not nice to make this sort of announcement about work hour posted with ULTIMATUM, he is showing his ugly of a boss.

The American way of hiring & firing . . . never change !!

Those who went in earlier won’t leave. Got good stock options. 
those not happy can leave. His company his rules. 
bottomline is if got good money, not scared cannot find good employees.

They just need a regional head to run the several small scale car markets in SE Asia. Our number of car sales are small plus it is controlled tightly by the govt.

Actually with most of the sales concluded online, and a flat pricing across the globe, what are the roles and KPIs of this Country Manager? With Singapore being the smallest market, I believe the role can be covered by other country managers in the region. 

I popped by Tesla showroom at Toa Payoh on 1 Saturday and am surprised that the showroom is not in operation. A quick check on their website shows that they only open for business from Monday to Friday. Weekends traffic is definitely higher than weekdays, yet they chose to close their door on weekends? Strange move...
