THE HR BREAKDOWN

Former executive sues Tesla over remote work change

Mike Tully, a former Tesla executive, has filed a lawsuit against the company after claiming it reneged on a promise that his role would remain remote. Tully, who left Bank of America for Tesla, was assured by Associate General Counsel Charles Lee that relocation was not required. However, two months into his employment, Tully was told he must move to either Fremont or Texas, or face termination. Tully’s wife threatened divorce if he relocated, which was said to exacerbate his medical conditions, including Crohn’s disease. Despite seeking accommodations, he was fired shortly after. Tully is now seeking damages and injunctive relief against Tesla for their alleged unfair practices.
