In a separate memo distributed to staff at Tesla, the company is asking salaried and hourly workers to sign up for additional shifts to deliver cars to customers in the last days of the first quarter.

“Join us in delighting customers as they take delivery!” the memo said. “While our production capacity allows vehicle deliveries to be distributed more uniformly throughout the quarter, we still need your support to move, prepare and drive vehicles to customers throughout the end of Q1.”

Salaried Tesla employees do not receive extra pay if they work delivery shifts, but hourly employees are eligible for additional compensation, generally billing their hours to a sales and delivery cost center, according to the memo, which CNBC viewed.

Tesla is under pressure to avoid a drop in year-over-year deliveries for the first quarter. At least one independent researcher, who publishes as “Troy Teslike,” predicts Tesla will report lower numbers, marking at least a 1% decline in deliveries, from 422,875 a year ago.

Wooo, go capitalism! Salaried employees are pressured to help keep the numbers up before the end of the quarter. Some may have shares as part of their compensation and feel pressure to help the company avoid a downswing, thus enriching the man at the top just so they can maintain their current standard of living. It's pretty great!

Where I live salaried is very different.

They don't track your hours up to 40h/w but that's what you're expected to work.

Anything beyond 40h/w though is automatic over time or time in lieu.

Because they never want to pay, it's usually time in lieu, like we need you to work late today, and you can bank it for later.

That job is not for me, but I do have to say that equity definitely motivates people differently than just a salary, and someone wanting a consistent 40hr work week wouldn't have ended up at Tesla in the first place.
