Such home visits were not well-received, and bosses were greeted with slammed doors and threats to call the police. But Thierig claimed checking up on sick workers at home was common practice and that they were appealing to “the employees’ work ethic.”
Wrong. You are allowed to visit your employee at home when you have a very good reason to believe they are faking it. But you visited 30 employees. You’re doing this shit systematically. Even the union is calling you out for overworking people until they get sick. I hope you keep fucking up like this. Labour courts are usually heavily in favour of employees. When they band together the court will rip you a new one.

How bad of a manager can you be to not understand this? When your sick leave is more than three times as high as the automotive average, then your working conditions are so bad people are getting sick. Being too exhausted to work or unable to take another day of horrid working conditions at the end of the week is a symptom of that. Not being able to make it through a late shift for health reasons is not abusing the Healthcare system. That is what it’s for. Stop treating your people bad and they will be healthier and come to work. How hard is that to understand?

Dude has obviously never worked so hard that his energy for the week is drained on friday.

It’s a factory owned by Musk, so power tripping, being abusive and borderline illegal behavior is baked into the business model, probably including a furious Musk visiting from time to time to shout at management he wants results by tomorrow and does not want to hear any excuses. And that’s how shit flows downstream and pressure is put onto the line workers, and the good managers shut up and find another employer to work for.

What’s also important is, even though you may seem healthy you can be sick. So your manager is obviously not able to tell that you’re sick. German law say that when you are sick it is forbidden to do anything that prevents or interrupt the healing process. This also means, that when you get diagnosed as sick for mental reasons you’re allowed to go to the park or go to the amusement park because doing stuff that makes fun is actually quite helpful for this.
