Martha Stewart is making her stance on remote work clear, and the 81-year-old says she’s on a “rampage” to get people back in the office.
Martha Stewart Says Remote Work Keeps The Job From Getting Done

She went on to throw France into the mix, as many people in the country famously take one month — typically August — off work.
“Look at the success of France with their stupid … you know, off for August, blah blah blah.”

Martha then questioned, “Should America go down the drain because people don’t want to go back to work?” Oop!

“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.”
Elon also pointed out, “The ‘office’ must be a main Tesla office, not a remote branch office unrelated to the job duties.”
