Before the RTO you could be working back and see many people lit up on teams and ping them, even till late at night. Now the lights are all dark and no one is responding. I hope that can be measured.

I'm asked to be in 5days. I have deleted work email and teams from my phone. And I leave my laptop in the office every day. No wfh means no wfh. Just following company policy.
I dont think you get it.
I wanted to work back late, and so do others. We are getting work done. Not everyone hates working, we like it. We want to do well and we care about our customers.
Now that passion has gone and people arent putting that in anymore. Why would they
When I started (20 years ago) in sales, it was very much a case of you got a comparable bonus to the effort you put in, which included staying late. It paid off.
That’s just not the case any more.
Too many Dell generated factors inhibiting sales performance and associated bonus.
Negative modifiers
Raise a ticket culture
Unhelpful customer care
Unhelpful pricers
Leaders who don’t know the first thing about sales
Executive leaders more concerned with protecting their little empires rather than doing right for our customers
No one willing to speak out against bad business decision made by top brass
We shouldn't be working beyond our paid hours. Probably the only positive of RTO. I'm sure many abused working at home, but Dell don't realize they likely benefited more from those that did it right. Not turning on late should not be seen as retaliation to RTO but aligning to policy
Realistic you are paid for your work hours any hours outside of this should be in exceptional cases only. Many teams also in Emea have legal rights to disconnect and not be routinely contacted outside business hours. There unfortunately has over the years unprecedented expectations to work 24 x7 which legally is not compliant in many regions. No one should be working extra hours without compensation or time in lieu. And 7 plus hour meetings do not correlate to no breaks 🙃 the one benefit of RTO and elevation of legal compliance is that the dell culture needs to change and teams need to move to asynchronous workflow without the Expectation of immediate response. This is a positive and welcomed approach.
ITS measured .they were Jackoffs for doing it *
why should we work late I mean whats the incentive :) getting laid off early the next day?
I have a personal rule. Make me go to office, I don’t even boot PC when I get home.
Work from home and I keep check on emails and work on things I need to in order to complete things timely.
Companies get to chose their policy, I get to chose my after hours policy.
I worked late the week they canned me, personal thing. Just a d-mb 'boomer' I guess.
management doesn't give a sh-t about it.
you are correct and it all adds up but.
nobody gives a sh-t
take care of yourself
