Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

WTF is the point in even going into office? What are they REALLY going to do about it?

I'm sure it varies from org to org but like, if you are a valued employee and have good relationships with managers, directors, etc... and overall are a stellar employee, what even happens to those who go in 1x a week or 3x week or don't hit the "minimum" day mark?

My director always tells us that he doesn't want us on any "list" - whatever tf that even means.. and to try and go in 5 days to stay off the "radar." Whatever that means...

A list for what, exactly? Maybe a list of people who think it's incredibly unfair that onsite's are held to a standard while 50% of the company is still full remote and can work in the comfort of their home?

Considering Dell wants employees to all be local to an office and go into an office, seems a bit unfair and weird to have such high standards for those unlucky enough to have been labeled "onsite." Especially when 98% of your team is remote while everyone who has to go to an office still joins virtual meetings anyways lmfao.

I'd have no complaints going in if most of my team was in MY office. Problem is is that only 1 person is local to my office so we get to sit next to each other and join the same meetings, virtually! At least I can tell him that his mic is muted though!

I mean, I suppose they can deduct raises - as if those are every great - and bonus's but if the threat is anything like "no promotions" then they can go f themselves bc promotions in the US has been MIA for 6 years now lmfao.

TF they going to do about those who don't go in or don't go in enough? Raises aren't excactly stellar, bonus's are just a % of your base salary and promotions are over in India.

@cg I badge in at 10am, plug my computer into the dock, do some work, go get a taco, take a poopy, then head home. Total time spent at office daily? 2 hours at most.

I feel pretty confident in saying the OP is far from a valued employee

You need to learn the art of coffee badging. It works great! I come in after my morning meetings, drink my coffee, take a sh-t then head home. 1 hr max in the office. Trust me, no one will notice you’re not there.

@ak

Which of the following categories most closely defines you?

1)Micromager/Tinpot Dictator - gets most of their personal satisfaction from controlling other people and having power over them

2) Bootlicker/Toady - a person who enjoys backstabbing and spying on people and who su-ks up to persons in Category 1

3) S-xist/predator men - see a job as a place to hit on unreceptive co-workers and look for companies run by someone in Category 1 to either protect them or be their wingman.

4) Fa-t Fetishist - gets their jollies by hanging out in the restroom and smelling other people's farts. Always in search of variety and needs a steady stream of new providers to remain fully engaged

As long as we can be free of abrasive bootlickers like you, a layoff would be sweet relief!

When I go to the office everybody wants to visit all day. It’s a great place to catch up on the rumor mill. It’s a break from doing any actual work. You need to learn to enjoy it.

The point is, RTO is meant to pi-s you off so you quit on your own. That way Dell doesn't have to pay severance. Give them the finger. Call their bluff. They won't do anything.

The only reason I don't just cofee badge is by the time I drive on ybe damage ti me financially is done. I might as well take as many of the free cofee pouches as I can get my hands on and make sure I decrease productivity of my team by as much as possible through meaningless social engagements. After 3-4 hours of that I go home so I can get work done without any distractions.

The guy talks about rto su-king because so many of us drive in for no reason everyday, and think about how pointless it is for an hour or two.

STFU and get your butt in the office. I know who this is and I will let the director know your view. We will see if you make it through the next layoffs.

You post the same cr-p every week or 2. We get it. RTO su-ks. Get over it. There are ppl that would love to be in yours shoes…employed. Be grateful Dell still keeps you around. They will continue to reduce headcount to keep their margins up.
