Musk will do what Musk does, whether or not he will be successful time will tell. But he has proven track record and he has made me a lot of money historically. To all you cringe haters, use your valuable energy else where rather than trashing others online.
Yikes, I don't feel like Benz has the Software Engineering talent to pull something like this off, which will definitely make me hesitate in getting in a car that runs the OS
Let me preface this by saying I don't have much of an opinion for or against RTO, but I feel like there's too much emotion attached to companies mandating RTO by tech employees. I'm at a company that is mandating RTO and for the past couple months there has been tons of whining and moaning in public slack channels, team Q&As, company wide Q&As, HR Q&As, being passive aggressive etc. All this behavior has reeked of immense entitlement, leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
The fact remains that a company exists to make money. When a company mandates RTO, generally it's doing so because it believes that's the best way to get the maximum output of it's resources against whatever metrics they are measuring against.
Employees should feel like the relationship between them and their employer is mutually beneficial, if that's no longer the case, pursue external opportunities.
We are incredibly lucky we are in a field that has a high demand for strong engineers, so you should be able to find what you are looking for.
