Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: Pretty sure refusing to show up would count as being fired "for cause"

[quote name="blackwater"]So you would not get unemployment benefits and you may or may not get severance I think it's also still one of the things prospective employers can ask about ... they can ask if you have ever been fired, and then you have to answer yes. Forcing people to come into the office is one of the few genuinely smart things Elon has done here in my opinion. It lets him get rid of more legacy employees without paying for more gold-plated severance packages. It's also a good idea from a management point of view -- remote employees are very hard to manage at the best of times, and this is not the best of times. It probably doesn't cost the company much, since typically companies take out long term leases on their real estate. And the SF commerical real estate market is cratering anyway[/quote]
