What happened to flexibility? "Letting employees do their best work from anywhere ", "modern workplace?". All buzzwords that, like our strategies, leadership never follow through with! I never want to see Dell on a 'best place to work' list. That would be a boldface lie!!
@lby+1qQAjByV I guess PTO would be included in those, that would be the logical approach.
Assume it’s 39 days a quarter in office. Does that mean if you take 5 PTO days in one week, you need to work additional days in the office other weeks to make up for that? So it’s really 3-4 days a week in the office.
Question is also how strict the managers needs to be, if they will still have free hand to decide who can work still from home (even as opted in for 3 days in the office), or they will be pushed to control that each of the members is playing according to the rules.
There are countless employees that live in metro areas that had offices pre-covid, those offices were shut and never re-opened. So...what do they do? Move to Round Rock? I don't see how this makes any sense for the majority of people I work with.
as much as this pains me to say... i think its Time To Unionize!!
They should just offer separation agreements to those who don’t want this.
The 39 days thing is absolutely the number. It's in all the FAQ stuff that was sent to manager's ahead of time.,
@slo+1qQAjByV is this 100%? i heard also about 27 and 30 days? Not a big difference, but still something...
That has Jeff Clark’s boot print all over it. He’s a toxic, maniacal control freak. I’m sure he must be becoming CEO.
Never seen a company lose its way so far and fast. I understand that there is a trend in corporate America of businesses delivering petulant covid-era employees their comeuppance, but this scorched earth approach is a sure way to drive out the ones you want to keep.
Yes, this is correct, you can stay remote but then your locked into your role forever unless you get ELT approval for promotion or job change.
Man itll work. I sure as sh-t am going to start applying elsewhere if this backwards thinking is how we are going to operate
They want people to quit
Can confirm. Just saw the announcement and what it consists of. This is nightmarish. They'll be tracking badge-ins (39 days per quarter mandatory). Missing that target will go against you on your performance review. Sounds like they'll let you opt (one time) as fully remote, though opting to be fully-remote will prevent you from being promoted/move to another role. They're no longer making any distinctions regarding distance from campus.
