Former executives complained that Musk's tunnel company could not retain employees: long working hours, overtime on weekends and no time to rest
On the evening of November 29, Beijing time, it is reported that some former executives of The Boring Company, a tunnel excavation company owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk), said today that the company's corporate culture is "ultra-long hours", so it is difficult to retain employees.
The Boring Company employees are known for their "long hours and weekend overtime", according to the former executives. As a result, it is difficult for the company to retain talent, and employees who have left include engineers and other technicians.
This means that The Boring Company has not broken away from Mr Musk's stringent management style. In fact, this is in line with the work culture of other Musk companies, including Tesla, SpaceX and recently acquired Twitter.
In the past, Musk has talked about his work philosophy, including working 120 hours a week and sleeping on the factory couch and on the office floor. Clearly, Musk wants his employees to do the same.
Tesla and SpaceX employees have complained about this before. Recently, after a successful acquisition of Twitter, Musk told Twitter employees to work "long hours and high intensity" or leave Twitter.
This is what Musk calls "hard-core culture". He said in an email to all employees that if you want to be part of the new Twitter, you have to be prepared for long hours and hard work, or you will leave with three months' severance pay. Before that, Musk had already announced 50% layoffs for Twitter.
