Title: Hello, I was hired as a remote full-stack engineer at Tesla during the pandemic. We were just told that remote employment agreements (mine was over email, not in my contract) are void, and we have to move to a Tesla office by August. This is essentially impossible for me until January 2023 (at which point I&#x27;d be happy to move). I need to make a decision by Friday. Do you think I would get severance if I tell them I refuse to relocate?<p>Edit: For context, Elon Musk sent company-wide emails last week about everyone having to go back to the office. A few days later, he announced layoffs. Many suspect the unexpected call for in-person work was a way to get people to quit and avoid paying severance for layoffs.
