I think the leadership’s motivation to impose RTO has become clear by now. It’s the attrition tactics, plain and simple. They don’t care about productivity, mismatch of teams, or all the personal expenses that grow with RTO. All they care about is to get rid of you for free. But I, for one, am not giving in. They’ll have to pay to get rid of me.

A man who resorts to force fears reason. The current RTO policy compels people without offering them a choice, leading to mistrust in leadership and feelings of entrapment and control by bureaucracy. These corporations are also doubling traffic needlessly. Allowing employees to work from home would be a more sensible business decision, reducing their carbon footprint. I’ve always said, the people are what make a company great. If the people are unhappy it will show in the numbers over time. Instead of controlling by fear, they should look at leveraging talent through a unique lens. One that is a shared common interest. There must be a path to unity.
@1wni+1v9IjD0c such a d-mb response. Why would anyone's personal savings be a matter for Dell? In fact it was a benefit, free for the company, to give while having at least the same amount of productivity
I hasn’t taken long for staff to get. And it’s the good ones. Soon the sales floor will be occupied only by the mediocre, the new kids and the yes men.
We are still discussing it because they have not rid themselves of enough people yet. 80k is still a ways off
@1wni+1v9IjD0c You realize a lot of people were full time remote for years before the pandemic, right? The setup worked, and still does work, for many teams. Don’t assume everyone worked in an office and “going back to how things were before.”
There are indeed lots of personal expenses that come with RTO. Back when you went from working on-site to WFH you saved a lot of personal expenses. I guess you must have sent Dell a check for the savings. Or does this only work one way? If so, stop whining - you're back to where you were before WFH.
If you continue coming in 5 days a week but only staying for 3 hours each day, they might ask you to leave. I need you at your desk 5 days a week, 8 hours a day—no more, no less. If you can’t meet that, we’ll need to open a position for your spot.
