Dell is just filled with sleezy leadership. RTO not RTO, that's not something they should be really focused in on. They just go about things in a sleezy way. The lie by omission and what they say isn't what they do. If you want to cut people... — read more

Lot of these old (experienced in Dell) I10s always keep boasting that they would be the first one to walk out if RTO is implemented. Let’s see if they follow or come crawling back to 5 days in office. My guess is the latter.

what the deniers are saying now about RTO? And do you think it stops here? Remotes who cannot get promoted now at any level, are going to be sticking around? Keep dreaming. Or find another job.

All investors should remain vigilant and ask, "Why?" The email from the MD about full RTO lacks any rationale or justification. Mandating five days a week in the office is not only inefficient and costly but also increases the risk of knowledge... — read more 

When are end-of-year bonuses paid out?

Coworker just got one for Monday morning 8am.

Do not, under and circumstance, think of relocating for Dell. Do Not. I know you may be thinking unclearly now given the attack on remote work but do not uproot anything for this company.

But I knew this taking the remote over hybrid. It was an exit strategy not a long-game for Dell. Just wished they would get to offering us the wfr packages!

So those thinking of just punching in and out. They know who spends time in the office and who doesn't. It's not just badge swiping they track.

Hi folks, Has anyone asked for WFR and been successful? Thanks in advance!

It will keep on getting worse. It's not the end of it by any means. And there will be more anti-remote squeeze incoming.

Thank goodness MD finally sent an email out so everyone screaming fake news can simmer down. March 3rd hybrid is retired and no remotes living near an office are remote anymore. Go read your email and have a nice day.
