There's a lot of posturing going on right now about only working the hours they pay you to work, all the out of hours work and calls will stop now we're being forced to RTO.
I'm not saying that's right or wrong. We should only work when we're being paid to.
I just don't see how this is possible if you work in sales. You are given a quota and that sometimes involves working more hours.
How many of you really will stop working those late nights?
Actually Dell has many hourly workers that are in fact paid by the hour.
Dell does not pay us for a number of hours worked. It pays for desired outcome. Deliver they outcome or be at risk for a PIP
I generally feel the comments on this page are dependent on what job function you have. Typically sales will complain about rising quotas where %25 growth is required in a mature and maybe declining market. In the operational side it’s all about the RTO etc. being in field sales it’s not about the time put in or where it’s about hitting a quota. We have fundamental differences in complaints. From what I gather is that we he pay is not great on the inside and the outside we are just dodging bullets quarterly.
The OP sounds like HR or a manager who knows when he has you by the ba--s.
Dell is a funny company. They employees for a forty hour week, but want more than forty hours.
Then there are customers who pay for certain support services. Dell won’t let them have anything they didn’t pay for.
Too bad we have such literal people working at this company they can't use judgment. Guess that's why we are all in this situation. Stop b*tching to leaders and look at your friends in sales who didn't work on Mondays and Fridays (they have this data). Ruined it for the rest of us. Go ahead thumbs down this comment, truth hurts.
I stopped coming in early and working late back in 2016 and haven't been happier since.
It’s not all talk. Some people are looking for a nice severance. And others are smart enough to have a lawyer who specializes in labor law on speed dial. There is no way they can call it poor performance if you don’t work 24/7 whenever the fu-k they want both in and out of the office. We have rights and need to start acting like it.
If Dell says I must.work from the office, that means that working extra hours from home will be a direct breach of employer's instruction. Person, I'm not even going to take my laptop home anymore.
We know there will be those who stop going above and beyond.
There will also be those that'll continue taking it with no lube.
After a few months of low pays and maybe a threat of a pip, everyone will lube up.
A company full of spineless sheep from top to bottom., and they know it.
It's just that, all talk.
According to Dell now, i am only considered working if im in a Dell office. I am apparently no longer trusted at home to work despite the fact that the two years around covid when the whole company was remote were the most profitable ever.
Im not doing s**t after work hours, not before, or after. Going above and beyond has zero benefit for the employee, and in fact were punished for it
