It was during a general meeting that the director of the giant electric car factory near Berlin had the misfortune of thousands of cups going missing.
The lack of mugs is a recurring topic of discussion in most businesses. However, at the Tesla Gigafactory in Grünheide, near Berlin, this problem has reached enormous proportions: 65,000 cups have disappeared since production began, report the Spiegel and the everyday economy Handelsblatt.
It was during a general meeting on Thursday 4 July, according to information from Spiegel, factory director Andre Thierig lamented the massive loss of a cup of coffee. The company has reportedly ordered thousands of cups since production began in early 2022, and many have gone to waste. A phenomenon that hardly confuses the director. “65,000! Statistically, this means that each of you already has 5 IKEA mugs at home! »he would have rebelled, cited by the Handelsblattwhich first covered the story. “I’m so tired of approving orders to buy even more cups of coffee!”.
The cancellation of the cups would also be a reason for the employer not to provide cutlery to employees in the break rooms. “Otherwise, we would become big buyers of knives and forks”, he would have confirmed. When saying that it was the employees who stole the cups, Thierig was not unanimous: some of them would have laughed and applauded, while others were disturbed by the statements of the factory director.
