Workers who leave the head office to buy a cup of coffee are costing an Australian mining firm too much money, according to its boss.
Managing director of Mineral Resources Chris Ellison said during a financial results presentation on Wednesday he wants to βhold staff captive all day longβ.
βI donβt want them leaving the building,β he said.
The head office in Perth has a restaurant, nine staff psychologists, a gym, and other facilities designed to encourage staff to stay in the office. βWe have a lot of different benefits that we have brought on,β said Mr Ellison, whose company has a strict βno work from home policyβ. "Why have I done that? Because when I get them first thing in the morning, I want to hold them captive all day long. I donβt want them leaving the building.
He agrees itβs a waste of time, so he goes by chopper.
