Stop:
Blaming remotes that are away from an office, the company hired them or approved the move and then went back in that- or will be.
Fretting over returning. Some people like it. If you don’t, get out. Why work for a company you hate?
Thinking you can’t get another job. Brush up on skills (because I guarantee you got none at Dell) and prop yourself up. No one is going to do it for you.
Talking about quiet quitting. Does it really make you feel better? You do the right thing, just don’t have to go above and beyond- they did after all go back on their word.
Worrying about what everyone else is doing. Again, if it doesn’t work for you- get out. Do not wait to be laid off- that package will do nothing for you when you have to explain WHY you got laid off.
Now:
People- pick yourself up and get moving. Not having to think about layoffs at Dell, or returning to office is the best feeling.
Change your life, before they change it for you. Don’t sit and wait. WHO CARES if it’s what they are waiting for, for people to quit. When they lose all the good talent, they will see the error in their ways.
Why would you want to work for a company that changes its policies like the wind? Clearly not stable.
Tech is horrible right now. It is NOT getting better.
Get ahead of the game- now is the time to move on.
