When I hear a company talking about digital transformation when they try to sell something I am yawning. This term Digital Transformation is a big turn off, it means the company is firmly anchored in the past, with aging workforce and lack of ideas .. Am I the only one with this preconception?

doesn't mean they did the job well from the comfort of their home.
Dell employees working from home https://youtu.be/3h9sUD1p-EE
Thats understandable for some staff but other staff are pushed back to an office to do a job they have done since the pandemic started from the comfort of home.
That was not my point at all. Dell is extremely supportive of work from home. They have closed several sites, people never to return. Some individual managers, as anywhere, are a problem.
My organization is geographically distributed that almost no one was going to an office before the pandemic. Offices are for people that want to go there because they don't have a space at home.
So basically the dont trust us as adult's to do our job?A lot of talk from Dell but very little action as always.
That is not true about work from home. Long before the pandemic, the work from home program was super progressive. Perhaps some managers want to keep you where they can see you, but the company at large does not.
The problem is simple.They offer less salary than other companies.They want everyone to return to the office.(Pushing softly but pushing).So no work from home or very little.Other companies are offering this.Tech is stuck in the past as are the internal systems and processes change from one quarter to the next. Targets are pulled from thin air.Can you blame staff leaving?
Digital transformation has been going on since digital computers were invented. I was a Data Processing process analyst back in the last 1970's. Time to come up with a modern term.
I better get my bonus
Digital transformation is code word for reducing head count.
yes.....yes you are the only person.
