I used to know Jackie many years ago. Trust me, this isn't her choice, she will be forced to toe this line like everyone else in management.
I have nothing but respect for Jackie as a person, but Dell management globally lack any spin and won't stand up to this dictatorship.
Currently work in inside sales and In EMEA and morale is dead.This would be the final nail in the coffin.
Could be Inside Sales?
This was never a thing Pre Covid. If you are in Outside Sales, you go to the customer site or you work from home. You occasionally came into the office for the team meeting. If you don't make your number, you would eventually be let go. I think they are just trying to get people to leave.
Sales groups tied down to corporate offices...Ok!
Maybe if we had something to return to
Whoever this Jackie person is has a really good high paying gig for what she does…. Hopefully some good sneakers for walking the floors. She should be proud of how far she’s come.
Sent on November 5th to those offices. Anyone in those offices been read the riot act by management?
From the second article:
"Effective immediately, all onsite-classified sales team members are expected to be in the RR, NV, and OKC offices five days a week for at least eight hours per day," Jackie Miller, Dell's vice president of North American commercial sales, said in an email sent to enterprise sales staff on November 5, which Business Insider has seen.
"RR, NV, and OKC" refer to Dell's headquarters in Round Rock, Texas, and its offices in Nashville and Oklahoma City, which are sites with a concentration of sellers.
2025 is almost over last I checked.

LOL. As if they haven’t tried this three times already. Their flip flopping and lack of a spine with implementing this has allowed them to lose all credibility.
From the article, it had the following passage:
The executive’s message, sent to teams in three primary locations, explicitly calls for an eight-hour presence to align with customer-facing demands and internal collaboration needs.
Anyone seeing this at their particular location?
As of this time, I have not seen any email pertaining to this. Maybe it'll come out in the coming days.
