Hmm so it's basically all hybrid + remote living roughly an hour's away from office expected to be in office 5 days. Badge swiping changes from color coding to just counting numbers. Violation of this is basically grounds for disciplinary action... — read more 

Hi folks, Colleague just shared the MD mail with me. Not sure how he got it. March 3rd is the day! :S Remotes who live a reasonable distance to office also expected to return. Lots of vague details. "We remain committed to flexibility with your... — read more 

My office was downsized considerably and even with 3 days RTO sometimes it is difficult to get a seat!! What happens now?

I am really confused as to Dell wants to penalize hybrid workers ever more by asking them to come into the office 5 days a week while the remote workers still get to work from home? Threat about not getting promoted are useless as promotions are... — read more 

With RTO upon us does Dell provide free onsite food and snacks? Pretty sure they provided it before Covid just like any large corporation. My previous tech medium-sized employer also provided it. Is the food any good? Which snacks are provided? — read more 

hey all...just saw the official unofficial email which will come out Friday 1/31 to all employees. Net is TMs aren't achieving 39 days RTO, and as such ELT has looked at the open numbers and confirmed TMs are more productive and happy working in the... — read more 

What’s the process like for severance? Do they take the 2 month of medical out of the pay or is that included?

That is, if it’s 3-day with the expectation of 5-day (if one can do it), it’s still manageable. Could it be that Dell is among rare companies that actually read and understood the studies on RTO negative effects?

T-Shirt boy (JC), what you do to your (loyal and good) people, the market is going to do to you...

Curious to know why some are staying with the same company for many years? I switch jobs every 1-3 years for a 20% pay increase

Looks like I'm out. Just receive an invite for Monday about "update on role".

BS's email on RTO going from 3 to 5 has been misinterpreted by your leaders. Re-read the wording, expectation is the key word. This is not the same as mandatory. The hybrid role remains 3 days, the badge swipe remains 39 days. The expectation is you... — read more 

In an attempt to preserve their jobs low performers flocked to in office. So now dell is squeezing hybrids even harder in hopes of some will quit. make no mistake the future does no bode well for remotes either. Its just hybrid has more zits to pop... — read more 

Did JC take note? We saw no crazy t-shirt. What I did notice was the fact that the usual amount of gushing heart and clapping emojis were replaced with a barage of the laughing face emoji... that was until they disabled the emojis!! So fragile!

Title.

Hybrid will be asked next week to start going to the office 5 days a week with flexibility There is no change for remotes

Get ready to pay the price. There’s no better way to reassure shareholders than by cutting costs, so expect many, many more layoffs soon.

I’m hoping that it would force Dell and other companies to focus on meaningful innovation rather than relying on hype and cuts/cheap labor/short-term profits. Competition could increase the value of our work. It could also possibly make the work more... — read more 

It is a very common occurrence when I open LinkedIn that I see another skilled sales professional leaving Dell for other opportunities. It is interesting that Dell is not concerned about this whatsoever.

return to office take 8 months severance Feb 6 to make decision. Eff you Dell. That is how you do RTO.

Maybe even both. Dell is going to hit a gold for 2025. Can you feel it?

I heard hybrid would, haven’t heard anything about field though.

I have seen comments about an email next week etc Does anyone know what the new policy will actually be ? What is happening with remotes

I am not even 50, yet I already feel too old for this nonsense. I am tempted to quit and start my own small business. Be my own boss. It will be challenging, but it has to be better than staying at Dell or any other corporate job at this point... — read more

DELL stock down 11% today so my stock RSUs are not worth the effort anymore. Am I the only one who is the victim of China's new AI now? Why couldn't the China people have waited until after the RSUs vested? I'm angry.

Is the email due next week? Has it been leaked to anyone ?

Anyone know how many days in office gets you a green flag?

All set for next Monday? I have heard 1% layoffs with most groups not affected

What are everybody's thoughts on this? How will it affect AI efforts in the U.S.? How will it affect us?

What day are the invites going out of the 'business update ' emails

Will hours be tracked for the 5 days RTO? Will the expectation be to be in the office for 5 full days every week?

The complaints about TRO are ridiculous at this point. Wanting child care and full gyms? Food perks. When you worked at dell you adjusted your life to work there before remote work. For hybrids you might have to adjust again, No big deal. Raise your... — read more
