Elon Musk was so prone to firing sprees that Tesla employees were told not to walk past his desk in case it jeopardized their career, according to an explosive, in-depth Wired article published Thursday.
The reporter, Charles Duhigg, said that over six months he spoke to numerous Tesla engineers, executives, and other employees about what it's like to work at Tesla.
One Gigafactory manager told Wired that they had stopped employees from walking too close to Musk's desk for fear that a word out of place might end up in their getting fired. The manager called the outbursts "Elon's rage firings."
A former high-ranking executive told Wired that Musk would occasionally say "I've got to fire someone today," and that when the exec said Musk didn't, Musk would reply, "No, no, I just do. I've got to fire somebody." Wired said a Tesla representative disputed this but said Musk made "difficult but necessary decisions."
Another former executive told the publication that "everyone came to work each day wondering if that was going to be their last day."
