Staff at billionaire Chris Ellison’s mining company have already been banned from working from home. Stepping outside for a coffee could well be the next endangered perk.
“I want to hold them captive all day long,” Ellison, chief executive officer of Mineral Resources Ltd. said on Thursday. “I don’t want them leaving the building. So I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee. We kind of figured out a few years ago how much that costs.”
