Nice joke until reality comes along: https://winfuture.de/news,145540.html

German article translates to:

The Tesla plant in Grünheide had to accept a record number of sick days, at least in August: Around 17 percent of the 12,000 employees were affected. At the beginning of September, the figure had fallen to around 11 percent, according to a report in the Handelsblatt newspaper. However, this is still comparatively high.

As a result, the plant management had begun to visit employees on sick leave at home and check on them. Head of HR Erik Demmler was surprised that he was sometimes met with an aggressive attitude, as he explained to Handelsblatt. It had happened that the door had simply been slammed in his face. There were even instances of people threatening to call the police.

...and I am sure that these managers are going to have fun with a bombardment of lawsuits soon

Yeah. That kind of behavior is super inappropriate and doesn't sound legal in Germany.

There’s no law against visiting someone, even if you’re their boss and they are sick.

Highly inappropriate, but not illegal IMHO.
