Due to an unusually high number of sick days at the German Tesla factory, Managing Director André Thierig and Head of Human Resources Erik Demmler visited employees unannounced at home. They were not amused.
The unannounced inspection visits by top managers were obviously not well received. “You could just tell by the aggression,” Demmler continues. “By having the door slammed shut. By being threatened with the police. By being asked if you don’t have to make an appointment first.”
Jesus christ imagine being this oblivious.
“We harassed workers outside of their work hours and they were mean!”
There will be a lawsuit and it will be hilarious to anyone with the vaguest concept of workers rights
I think they framed it as “get well” visits. I think “control visits” without plausible suspicion of fraud would be illegal. There are procedures to do this in Germany.

I’m mildly shocked nobody was shot over it. Sick people aren’t generally in the clearest state of mind, pissing them off would make things worse
It’s Germany. On paper, only 1 in 60 people there own a firearm.
In most parts of the world people don’t sit in their houses with guns fantasizing about murdering people.
Ohhh shit. Those managers are in for a good time.
Workes court will pull them in little pieces. This shit is so fucking illegal in germany.
The article says it’s not illegal? Would hope to fuck there are some basic boundaries by law.

That would definitely explain it lol
I’d consider getting one if that was something my employer did.
