Major US companies are forcing employees to return to the office after Covid-19 regulations.

"I will fire you!"
Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Elon Musk has allegedly threatened to fire the executive staff of Tesla Inc. if they do not go back to working 40 hours a week.
An email sent by Musk to the company's executives had the subject line "Remote work is no longer acceptable," made it clear that he will fire those who want to continue their working-from-home routine, according to the report.
“Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask of factory workers,” Bloomberg cited Musk as saying in the email.
Musk, in parallel, said that Tesla executives must return to the main office, and not a remote branch office, according to the report.
When the global Covid-19 pandemic came through, employees across the globe were driven by tough circumstances to work remotely to avoid catching the virus. When the restrictions were lifted, it became clear that many employees do not want to return to their offices.
Another wave of Covid-19 infections is razing the US, after which some companies in the US are reconsidering whether they will return employees to the office or not. Apple, for instance, issued a requirement for employees to return to the office at least 3 days a week, starting May 23.
