If they are going to force us to RTO if we are with 60 miles/1 hour of an office after making massive office cuts.
AND they are going to PIP/fire people for noncompliance.
Can we be overly compliant? Go in! Do it!
When there are not enough desks, just sit anywhere and look around at people.
Can you really "work" without a desk? I say no.
Be overly compliant and go into the offices where we KNOW there are not enough seats. Watch them freak out.
@es+1jkxcsvjz sounds good in the key of C
Most especially please come in on March 3 if you are sick and spread the joy. Then by around March 10, we can have the flu together and really drop the productivity.
My boss is already talking about sharing cubes so we’ll all be in the same area.
I am remote but Dell is my life so I will enthusiastically be first into the RR car park on 3/3. Who is with me, Team Dell?!
Yes, I will join. I feel hopeful and Job Secure.
Can you really "work" without a desk?
Why not?
Fluorescent lights, a ticking clock,
A cubicle cell, a corporate lock.
Chained to meetings, bound by walls,
Echoes of freedom lost in halls.
The warden calls—“You must comply,”
No room for wings, no space to fly.
Five days in, no time to breathe,
Dreams of escape tucked up my sleeve.
Yet through the bars, a ray of light,
A whispered plan, a distant sight—
Someday soon, I’ll break away,
And work won’t own my every day.
They really don't give a fu-k. In fact, that's the whole point of RTO in such a setup: to frustrate and pi-s people off, so they resign on their own instead of having to endure this idiocy on a daily basis.
Can’t wait to see what happens when people actually do comply and RTO, only for there to be a massive drop in productivity due to lack of office space, parking, facilities etc. I wonder will WFH ever be floated again.
A lot of people are already claiming cubes so good luck. I've seen names written on cubes, belongings dumped, food, you name it.
Facilities can fu-k off too. They had time to solve this and they didn't.
plenty of cubes in Hopkinton. Won't be an issue. Next.
"Just go in and pack the place. If no cubes available; use the conference rooms, the break areas, the Cafe, common areas. He-l, camp out in the stalls!", shitters should be used for video calls too, wish odors could be transmitted online too )))

Its time to cube brawl. In this corner we have the challenger Dell's employee of the year Mal Content and in this corner we have the reigning champion the Phantom $hitter. Let's get it on!
I like malicious compliance. Let's also stop showering and wearingdeodorant! While we're at it it lets start re-heating fish in all the break rooms and eating large amounts of taco bell.
@Chupakabra. this is pure gold. The out of the box thinking we need in these challenging times! 10,000 Inspire Points.
Cube brawls would be the best thing on TV since Jerry Springer
I have an idea for a reality TV show... cube brawls... when there are not enough cubes for the employees... wait wasn't that an episode in squid games?
It’s not about collaboration. It’s a stealth layoff. The c level folks couldn’t care less if you collaborate, have a desk or parking space, or whatever. They just want you to quit.
How can one collaborate if your team is not all together in the same building like pre covid? This makes no sense.
I have a creative suggestion for facilities - create bunk tables, same as bunk beds, so we can all seat on top of each other heads! )))
I hope to get at least 100k Inspire points for this suggestion! (being sarcastic)!
@a3+1jkxcsvjz - no one in RR calls it a car park. Nice troll. American's say "parking lot" for your next attempt.
Dell will just claim it proved all wanted to RTO and that productivity is off the charts
they will echo Tell Dell employees asked for more office space and collaboration.
The will then clear the 90s shared cubes and replace it with stacked IKEA tables so there will be more collab and productivity
Then MD will get on the presser claiming he's an RTO genius and "this is how dell got RTO done right"
