It’s just a way to do layoffs while trying to fight off the unemployment claims.
But it loses the best people keeping the worst. Dead Sea.
Management doesn’t care as long as line go up. Corporate America is constantly chasing short-term gains and damn the future.
Eh… why would Dell need the best people? They’re a mediocre company. Mediocre staff are sufficient.
Best people = expensive people in management speak
Best people = your entire product
Usually
That’s a problem for next quarter
Where I work at they decided the “office” people need to keep a presence just in case some random person walks in off the street and wants to ask questions. I’m the IT guy, I have no intention of talking to anyone I don’t support, I have no knowledge to answer any questions about our business that I could offer, and my office isn’t even near the front desk where I could hear anyone come in anyway … but yeah it totally makes sense that I should have to drive in a couple days a week to a place where they make me pay for parking, just to sit at my desk all day and answer emails.
Of course there’s two reasons why I haven’t made a stink about their idiocy. First is that in doing my job, it really is helpful to others if they know they can meet me in person at certain times to fix issues that can’t easily be solved over email. The second is that I can see my retirement on the horizon (about ten years away), and in the last ten years the place I work has made a huge contribution to my 401A, so much that it has already passed everything I’ve put away from previous jobs. If I can hunker down for another decade, I won’t even need social security to retire comfortably, and that’s a really good thing since Trump and other Republicans have already stated they are trying to eliminate it so they can justify collecting fewer taxes from the rich. I may be one of the last generations that can afford to retire and I’m not taking that lightly.
Kudos on the 401K! Best of luck!

My parents always knew I would be a disappointment, they just didn’t count on that being a positive thing! ;-)
I’ve got some bad news about the climate lol.
well yeah, it’s Dell. you’re not going to make it in Big Computer unless you’re in advertising (lying to the public) or management (lying to the employees).
lol, depending on what your level is this might actually be fine. Yeah, you mean I can just chill and not take on responsibility or have to fake enthusiasm for “career” growth when all I really want to do is collect a paycheck and clock out at 5pm… while also having amazing work-life balance and no commute due to WFH? Where do I sign up?
This. Also if I have to change jobs every 2-3 years to get a market level salary why would I even bother. This is the reality they created.
they are literally The Machine
