Re: Yeah, voluntary

"If you voluntarily don't come into work *because sensible*, you've volunteered to be sacked shortly afterwards."

Within all of Elon's ventures, you are expected to work at least 50hours/week. In some departments at SpaceX, managers make note of anybody not putting in at least 60.

Given the mass sackings in the past, Elon using the work "voluntary" is a code for "Hey buddy, this is a PR statement and if you don't all show up for work on time and injure yourselves building these cars, you will be out at the next great purging. See if I don't." The next Pink Slip parade is likely going to be soon after the 2Q financials are released. All of the billions Tesla says they have is massively offset by all of their debt. Using it to keep at status quo will just accelerate a downward spiral. I'm wondering how many angry dunning notices the A/P office is getting right now.
