The Return-to-Office Policy

Summary：
Elon Musk, who instituted a strict return-to-office policy this spring, abruptly emailed employees on May 31 that they were required to "work at least 40 hours a week in the office." However, more than three months after the resumption order was issued, Tesla still does not have enough space or resources to bring all employees back to the office
Return-to-work policies have also led to a drop in morale, especially among teams that allowed employees to work remotely as needed before Covid-19, and some employees who were previously designated as remote workers who said they could not be in the office for 40 hours a week were fired in June.
Tesla is now monitoring employee attendance, Musk and other executives receive detailed weekly reports on absenteeism.
Question 1:
The return-to-office policy -- murky and informal as it is -- has caused a significant decline in morale among some employees, considering the company by the shortage of desk spaces, parking spaces, and other resources, does this policy protect employees’ rights in general? Why or why not？
Question 2:
Before COVID-19 restrictions, Tesla managers generally figured out how much remote work was appropriate for their teams. Musk's hardline policy eliminated that freedom in theory, though some execs may still be able to carve out deals for "exceptional" employees. Does Musk's hardline policy help the company? Why does this happen or what causes it?
