Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

theres no fair.the game is rigged. Try a life of crime instead

Actually they did force them to go hybrid. They threatened then. Listen,if the company had ba--s they would have severed employment with remote workers, given everyone a cube and gone back in the office either the 3 or 5 days. Would have solved alot of problems. Dell has no ba--s and they're a bunch of cons.

cry baby cry baby sitting in a tree

Nobody forced you to pick hybrid, you chose it yourself. Cry more

fair and equitable, this place, sure

Pandemic is over, WFH people should now be in the building period so I don't think 3 days a week or only 39 days a quarter is bad.
If you were hired to work fully remote then those are the people that should be working remote.

moving on from quiet quitting and leaning into quiet vacationing

Did you work here when Michael Dell said, we will never require mandatory in office work again? Then leaders encouraged us to move away for lower costs of living, and to tell our customer with the hopes they will also do the same to sell computers only for them to now say hybrid is best. Come in or don't get promoed... this isn't a new thing for dell to say 1 thing and do another. They said they aren't tracking time in office t9 get people to move to hybrid and I told my team, they say they aren't tracking it... yet.

Just like previously they suggested we come in 3 days a week now they are saying hybrid is best.... soon they will make you stay in office all day 3 days a week just like previously. I wonder if they will take away a wfh day if you're not hitting like they did prepandemic too? It's coming. And they are raising the gates on your commissions too. It never gets better

It sounds like your leadership is coaching you to do the option they want you to pick. Always read the messaging yourself in full to avoid these issues in the future.

Leaders are unfortunately not always good ones. They always say the dell message and in this case it's to reinforce they think hybrid is the best option.

My team is about 50% remote. Some live too far from an office, some live close to one. If you thought that hybrid was the safer choice, you didn’t think about the company’s motivations behind this. No one actually cares who is working in the office, it was just a way to help with culling the herd, introducing a new hurdle to get people to quit, or barring that, helping them fire people with a policy to break. It’s all in the name of reducing headcount and saving on severance.

Our VP said as much: they are trying to get us to quit. If you want remote, choose remote.

Another issue is that you don't get onsite credit if you have to visit a customer, or if you attend Dell World. These to me are Dell activities that are mandated to do my job, yet they are not counted for the 39.

My Manager agrees with me, but as he said. Nothing that he can do to give me credit. And Jeff C, doesn't care he wants you in the building

In Ireland in Sales we got two options.
Go hybrid and come in 3 days a week or 39 per quarter or go remote,get denied by mangement and get slowly pushed until Dell can PIP you out.
Either way its a loss.
One is basically ripping off the plaster the other is more painful.

OP is the newb in prison that gets ra--d by the general pop
But the difference is OP voluntarily walked inside the prison and pulled his shorts down.

@jrc+1sCJm1fS - I know a number of people who have been here less than 3 years & were hired as remote & continue to be remote. So, there's that.

Other than break/fix Customer Service ppl and Professional Services ppl doing installs implementations on-site who else would qualify be onsite?

I guess trying to do the right thing doesn’t pay off at Dell.

“The policy does not say anywhere that you must be hybrid if you live 1 hr away from a site. You need to read the policy, again.”

If you’ve been here for less than 3 years you are not allowed to be remote. I know a number of people who are doing this.

This statement is incorrect: "In fact I know of several people who are remote who shouldn’t have been allowed to be. " There is no such thing as not allowed to be remote. You could live across the street from the Round Rock campus & were still allowed to be remote if you chose to do so. The policy does not say anywhere that you must be hybrid if you live 1 hr away from a site. You need to read the policy, again.

Lol. Thought you were going to go thru the dell pearly gates by going hybrid.
You thought there were be maidens there hand feeding you grapes while you get fanned by giant peacock feathers?

you had plenty of time to weigh your options. now its a case of "oh shoot, imma moran."
You worry about yourself don't worry about others. su-k it up buttercup
