Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Silver Lining

Is it that corporations (Dell) are truly looking out for our general well being with the new return to work model? Could it be the very issue of mental health as to one of the top reasons? Never mind the increased costs of travel, the stress of long commutes, eating out at local restaurants for lunch. It’s our obligation as employees to carry this burden with no increased compensation. As our pay suffers the companies benefit from city tax incentives. Should some of these cost savings be passed on to the employees?

There are many benefits to coming back into the office including collaboration, career progression, networking, and just being around people is said to have positive effects on mental health.

Unispace finds that 72% of companies surveyed say they have mandated office returns, and almost half (42%) now report a higher level of employee attrition than anticipated.

The sliver lining is that they let you keep your job if you comply.

@5dbj+1nvKVdww I sense senior leadership here.What part of the business do you work in?
People dont want to be back in the office.
Dell doesnt pay well and the increased cost of heading back to site for pointless meetings is as good as a pay cut.

You mean the same Threads that is allowing your personal information to be dispersed to anyone that wants it. That same Threads.. Good luck with that. You must not have read the small print. I bet you dance on Tik Tok too.

I think musky Elon made the decision for us all. If get I get the ‘should tap’ I will have to forfeit my deposit on that Cybertruck he promised in 2077. Let’s get our tweets in now before Threads becomes mainstream.

our management in ISG said Tell Dell was good so what gives? Why are people saying it was bad? I have not heard anything regarding bad results because of the mandate.

Its obvious to anyone whos been paying attention that Dell's RTO attempt was an ego move by JC, nothing else. Why else do you think that over a month now since this was announced, crickets from MD.

It was horribly implemented and the bashing in the tell dell results say it all.

These trolling posts on a layoff rumors site always crack me up. Shouldn't you be posting anti-woke stuff on reddit? Your audience would be much bigger for this BS.

RTO is what it is. Return to office. How you personally work and how much your manager appreciates that is what matters.

Some states/cities give a tax break to companies to locate their offices in a given location, but it’s conditional on having XYZ workers work in the business district (the idea being that the lost tax revenue from the incentive will be made up for by the increased tax revenue due to follow-on economic activity into local businesses etc

"RTO is 100% about tax breaks and building capacity. "

if you keep on saying something it makes it true?
You are one of those who can be confidently wrong.

The article was a broad example.

RTO is 100% about tax breaks and building capacity. You really think having empty buildings is what your state(s) / countries want. Dell, specifically has actually broken new ground through mergers and alliances.

Regardless. Tax breaks is what all companies driving RTO is looking for, especially if they own the building.

Yes I’m looking at how to achieve our FY24 bonus. I do like to have 100K+ in my pocket. It’s nice.

You should get a new job and get that chip off your shoulder. Or better understand how a business works. I’m sure ChatGPT can tell you.

BTW. I’m a gen-X. Not a boomer. For you gen-zer. Good luck.

RTO has nothing to do with tax breaks. It’s about controlling employees and making the boomer managers feel like the “good old days”.

Did you even read the bloomberg article you posted? Tax breaks and incentives have nothing to do with Dell.

Those tax breaks are incentives to attract NEW facilities and employers.

Dell hasnt broke ground on a new facility in decades! So any tax incentive is long gone or negligible. This is not opinion. You can dig up county/city records on buildings/campuses and read the contract itself.

Management is purely monkey see monkey do.

The bonus is a hollow carrot that is dangled for minions. If the high point of your year is a dell bonus I think you need to get out more.

Corporations are pushing people back to the office for tax breaks. If they have over x number of people in their offices they great incentives.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-02-21/tax-breaks-threaten-work-from-home-as-ceo-s-get-return-to-office-incentives

It’s got nothing to do with anything you’ve listed out. Business is about 3 things:

  1. Revenue
  2. Operational cost
  3. Profit

That’s it. Tax breaks help them operationally. The thing that employees have going for them is that if they understand the above you can put yourself in a position to uniquely:

  1. Improve revenue
  2. Drop operational cost / protect IP

Dell can’t have their cake and eat it too. Put the offices back to how they were where people had their cubes, offices, services and people will go back. Instead corporations made foolish investments to try to adjust their buildings to drive less people back while saving. Not going to work. Now we are all stuck.

However, while RTO is happening most of us have our eye on the bonus. The bonus program at Dell is great for employees. Our executives don’t want to fail. If they do it impacts them and employees. The last thing any of them want is to lose money. Help them accomplish hitting their bonuses and we will all be successful.

The RTO will be foreshadowed by the upcoming bonus conversations coming soon.

wtf are you jabbering on about?

Dell's rto is not some chess move. It is mindless monkey see monkey do management. Some top tier companies were doing it so therefore we should follow.

Complying will not help you keep your job. You are viewed as furniture. Come and go at their whims.
