they can allways bully you out
there's ways
The money I can save by NOT going into the office IS the promotion.
💯
you will save much, much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ after DELL fires you all!
@ kriscarrdublr I bet the employees that go back will get big raises stocks, and would probably turn into your boss.
I’ve been getting between 5 and 8 percent raises since 2005 and when I became a manager it was a 20% pay increase. My ass is in the office daily! To each his own though.
wise words fam
Folks tired of working in a toxic work environment, paying parking, paying dry cleaning, paying for lunch
It's just as bad as it is good. That's why an entirely new work force was smuggled into this country.
@@freketyeyes, however eventually even THAT workforce will see the winning in the wall and begin to revolt in their own way.
I love the movement. I’m just extremely experienced in dealing with corporate strategies. They will implement language contractually for new hires to appear as they see fit. But for now I’m very happy for them but I know what’s coming.
I hear a lot of whining....Does Dell have a union?? Since when do employees dictate corporate policy?? I'm not saying there isn't room for compromise, but the free market was never established for people to work strictly from home.
@carlariggs525 collectively the employees that help them make revenue said no 🤣
Imagine Not wanting to waste 3-4 hours commuting to work, wasting gas, getting into accidents.
Yes, work from home is better but if you have to drive 2 hours each way for a job you need to find a job closer to home. If you can’t find a job that pays the same closer you will make up the difference by paying a LOT less in gas and car repairs from putting so many miles on it. Less chances of accidents too so your insurance won’t go up in cost. More time with your family, less frustrated from so much times driving, etc.
I've been working remote for over 15 years, and it's saved me a ton of money because i no longer needed a car. I walk and bike everywhere since most of the amenities are within 30-45 minutes biking distance. what's the downside? before I started working remotely, i didn't necessarily need to be doing any work at the office. as long as they see me there, they would assume I was doing something. but once I was remote, I needed to show results - that work was actually done. some days in the office were literally just hang out sessions, where nothing got accomplished.
@@yactabay their exaggerating there only real argument is a back and forth 1hr commute. They just want to spend half a day getting paid to do laundry and walk the dog
@@mikemadsen7926 Correct, my post above is considering I know the benefits of working from home because my wife does it. We moved to another state and my wife is so good at her job that after she quit he called her and offered her remote work of her same position. She gets to put clothes in the wash and run back to her desk. Later she takes them out and puts them in the dryer. Gets to take a dump at home instead of a toilet everyone sits on. The house is being watched 24/7. Porch pirates can’t steal a package. On her lunch break she can choose to take a nap. I could name more benefits. That’s what people want. There’s nothing wrong with all of that. It’s just that most people will be less productive at home. Her boss doesn’t care what she’s doing because she’s that good and that responsible with her job. She even keeps answering his calls when her job has ended and she’s driving somewhere. Most people need supervision. Like you said, the only real complaint is the commute.
3-4 hours commute is insane.
People are tired of toxic work environments. Tired of psychopathic managers who pit people against each other.
True, but what does that have to do with the topic?
@dec1slh The commenter is giving an example of WHY people do not want to return to the office. Wow , really ? 😕
@@cocoace7587 if it's toxic in the office it's so toxic remote, so that's not a good example
If w-m-n are working there it will be a cluster F. But I have no dought the jobs move over sea's. When companies see that people don't have to be in the office, they also see they don't have to be in the country. And there are many places where high tech is much cheaper. Stay home and get layed off.
@@rbfarrell1 that's the boogie man they want you to believe. You have to be pretty damn old with that mindset too.
the best way to get a promotion is to leave so this wasn't a good way to strong-arm their employees to stay
They’ll sing a different tune soon
@@TechTualChatter😂😂
Exactly
The company was actually being nice by letting them have a “vote”.
That is so true. And if workers are already making a good income, the cost of commuting, gas, time, proper and expensive work attire, having to bring food or purchase food while out, and the gridlock on the roads. And how about the cost of lost time in the commute, less time with your family, office space is competing with places that could be rezoned for residential, and so forth. I have to work at the office and it's definitely more work to go to the building then what I can actually get done working from home. So I wish it could more flexible.
I work from home and people started to complain and requested to see me. I emailed them a picture of myself.

Maybe but we need our jobs. And I don't see corporations changing anytime soon.
@@patstar5 we? need? lol
Wow! No promotion for choosing the convenience of no commute for a job you can do with more productivity at home? 😅 Win for the employees. Cause the money they save on gas, dry cleaning, time driving... that WAS their raise.
I've been work from home for about a decade. You'd have to double my pay for me to even consider working in office.
Most aren't as productive at home as they think. Soon, layoffs will follow
@@SoTrue144 most aren't as productive as they pretend to be at the office. Slackers don't magically transform based on their location.
If a manager can't measure productivity beyond visually seeing butts in seats, they should be replaced with a bunch of chair sensors.
@AAjax That's the thing these companies see, so don't be surprised when they are major layoffs.
@@SoTrue144 The back to office mandates are mostly a way to constructively dismiss employees, to save on pay outs.
The layoffs are happening whether the staff work at home or not. CEOs over-hired for a number of years to tell a fake story of growth to investors.. That employment bubble has popped.
Covid opened alot of eyes, if you hated your job before that you were definitely looking for a way out. I know I did...😂😂😂
@@djangofettbich 🤧🤧🤧🤧
So surprising that employees don't want to waste 100s of free hours commuting and prepping to commute.
@@treasurethetime2463 😅😅😀😆
Lots of them will be staying home permanently. Watch.
@@Slick1020and they will find another job. dell still loses way more. dnt forget. just the action of looking for an employee costs. it would be in everyone’s best interest if dell stop this. but we know they wont
@ChrisGoldie They will definitely threaten to fire them . But , if everyone sticks together and says , ok , bet . Dell hopefully won't tank their own company. Plus , who's going to train new employees ? 🤔
Let's see how unemployment works out for them as the person in India takes that job for 25% of the pay. Remote can just as easily be anywhere in the world. And remote workers are proving that.
I’ve worked from home for 18 years. My company was one of the first. I will say that once we went home raises got smaller and smaller. One year I got a 1% raise. They always do raises after the earnings call so it makes people pissed to hear the company made a billion dollars and then give 1% raises. I decided to give myself a raise. I got a side hustle,
and paid off my student loan debt, paid off my car and built a 6 month emergency fund. My company has a great low cost 401(k) plan and good insurance. If my company said we should go back to the office to get bigger raises, I would hard pass on that. I make 80 with my day job ,but with my 2 evenings a week low stress side hustle, it puts me at 100k. Since I don’t carry debt and only have a mortgage, I’m comfortable. 🤷🏽♀️
Being debt free is the new rich…
work 2-4 years at Dell and then make more at the next job. They will just end up losing talent and pay the next guy more. lol
Basically
Or less! 😂
Anyone in tech that thinks they have any security has been living under a rock.
Being in the office is for control. How can you feel like a supervisor if you don't see your folks. The company will save money in the long run with the work from home
There is definitely power in the collective! My company just went fully remote...Thank GOD!

@@irmasomda2228 Dell
@@TechTualChatter 🤣🤣🤣
Fully remote has some benefit but expected hybrid to be more popular. People need to network.
A lot of times promotions are used against employees to get them to strive harder and accept more responsibilities and then the promotion never comes. When that many people want to stay home it scares corporations because it takes control from them. While smarter companies have embraced the call of the people.
Great point
No guarantee of promotion or significant raise anyway. Just stay remote while looking elsewhere while Dell keeps paying or pays severance/layoff. They were hoping to get some people to quit to avoid layoffs and severance.
If they really cared about “in office collaboration” they would not out source to India.
That part! Many of these companies are outsourcing to save money but are forcing those in the US back in the office so we can "collaborate" how can you collaborate when most of your team is elsewhere?
I actually believe this is Dell letting the employees lay themselves off in the future. They have the "troublemakers" identified who are not company people.
@@dwaynebell7705 right, what I would do is stay remote and use the time to start applying elsewhere and either leave when I have the new job lined up, or they have to lay me off and pay me unemployment/severance.
❤❤❤❤❤exactly
I'll never understand the desire to sit in front of somebody's face all day. I can do all the same work from home minus having to suffer through weirdos breathing in my face who don't have a life outside of work and create toxic workplaces for everyone else so they can be entertained.
Also fk all that 4 hours of meal prep, bringing and cleaning containers, packing gym clothes and sanitary supplies for pop up periods, driving 2 hours a day in dangerous back to back traffic, paying 150 per month for gas, washing clothes EVERY DAY, NEVER getting to see and my home during the daylight hours, paying hundreds per year for bottled water when I can use my Britta ... I can keep going but I won't. Just like I won't be working in anybody office building.
Lol. U captured it all!
The Genie is out of the bottle. People don't want to commute, or be stuck in office cubicles. And they don't have to.....
Or be stuck out on the floor for all to see.
If you want a promotion. Find a new job. Corporate promotions are trash anyway.
"you won't get promoted"
Me: I fail to see the problem here 😂
no promotion over the state of my well-being? I'll take that any day
Yup, I quit my last job because they wanted me to go into the office with no pay increase. I gave them a month’s notice and bounced. Theirs too much opportunity available to subject your self to an employers unreasonable demands. I did Uber and Lyft until I found my current employer who pays more, allows me to work remotely and doesn’t Micromanage. The work environment is extremely healthy.
The ones staying remote will be laid off eventually. The writing is on the wall. When Dell needs to make cuts to its staff, that’s where they will start, the remote workforce.
Happened with AWS just over a year ago
Tesla did the same as well. Employees who chose to stay remote blindly signed up for being laid off in the near future.
We are getting sicker as a society with mental illness, chronic disease and office work-life has been one of the biggest contributing factors. The workers are done with that.
Now it is time to do better and offer something real oligarchs!
I use to work for EMC the whole recruiting process was a lie. You had recruiters lying about being permanently hired on and so many people left their previous jobs just to find out months later you where not getting hired on. What a joke...
Do they not realize how fucking expensive it is to commute!?
@ raymond_sycamore yea buddy all the rest of us that have to work you know everybody that has a skill set other than pushing keys on a keyboard have to drive to work.
@chrisquas4113 you sound mad
I can't work in cubicle with tons of noise, people's headphones so loud I can still hear their music, and of course the office bullies, the dressing up and commute.
Why NOT promote remote workers? They obviously performed well remotely already. I actually work best in silence; I don't have music or TV going in the background while I'm working. And the lack of office politics seriously helps my peace and productivity. I don't have a poker face so it really helps that I can wait an hour to respond to those d-mails (dick mails) without anyone seeing my first reaction (lol).
All that matters is if the work gets done.
I haven't worked in office much in the last 15 years. A few times I was broke and started in the office. I am not riding a bus for 45 minutes to sit in a cubicle, not getting paid for the commute time. I can do the same work, with an executive bathroom, the perfect temperature and less distractions from coworkers that want to talk about little Sally's soccer game. You can't do laundry from the office, and I would miss my dog too much.
Working from home is a blessing
Not really they will be fired in the immigrants get paid…all been by design black people going backwards. They should have went back to work taking all the bonuses and raises for the next great lockdown that’s coming soon probably before the election. 2025 also next year1 18 to 28 will be drafted.
I agree with what that one guy said: I don't care about promotions. I've mastered my role and don't mind sitting at this level for a good while. In fact, I've been at this level most of my professional life. I don't want the extra headache of management. Those guys always have a target on their back and are expected to be available 24/7. The only thing I would have a concern with is no raises. If that means no cost of living, then that's an issue because over time you will make less and less. If it does mean you get cost of living, then I'm fine with that.
Think about this scenario: One of the jobs I used to commute to took me 45 minutes one-way to arrive. Working from home when my kid has an appointment I get up, take them, come back, start working. If it have to commute: I got work, come back to get them, take them to the appointment, bring them back home or school, drive back to the office, and then I still have to drive myself home after work just so the boss's real estate investments and tax breaks can stay in the black while my life falls apart along with my breaking car and cost of fuel and time. When, in the end, they could just sell the office or let the lease end and have the space reclaimed fro something more useful LIKE HOUSING! I don't need an office family nor an office relationship. This is also how office affairs and inappropriate thinks like harassment happen. Both are eliminated if we work from home.
I didn't realize how many people I didn't like at my office until I started working remote. Mental health through the roof, more money in my pocket, more time to do the things I really want too.
I never want to work in a crappy cramped sometimes loud cubicle again! Plus don't like driving buying gas, repair fees, and bad weather! Freedom 🇺🇸
Here is a short true story from working in remotely vs working onsite:
Well I used to work at the office in Marina Del Rey and I have a boss living Kansas city working remotely managing the office. Here I am thinking, I am paying more taxes, I have to be on time in the office, I have to pay gas, I have to spend time sitting in traffic, and everyone in working from home except me.
The rest of the folks working remotely they were the laziest people I ever met and they wanted me to do everything for them because I was the only one in the office who had access to the equipment. Pretty much, I was the guy to take the blame in the office. Guess who got laid off? The guy who work in the office.
I would not go through that experience ever again unless they pay me very very well to be onsite on the office.
The main reason workers need the promotions and raises is to cover things like fuel / travel getting to work and back, even more so if you don't drive and need to get multiple bus services and / or trains.
On the more sinister side, I see the main reason of being forced back to the office is because managers can tell you to do anything and it always their word against the employee, if they have to phone or zoom or message etc, those can easily be recorded for proof, they really don't like employees having any kind of security.
My sister and brother in law both work remotely for Dill. They both voted to stay remote. My sister told me that some of those other remote employees had completely changed their lives since COVID; moving out of state, gaining pets, having children, etc. It's a huge imposition by Dill to uproot people's lives to fill offices and tighten control even further. Then if they don't, it's at the cost of all possibility of promotion. FU Dill! (It, the actually non-person corporation, doesn't deserve my advertising of their trademarked name in this post.)
BTW its DELL.
@@dwaynebell7705 BTW. You obviously didn't read what I had written. Please, patrol elsewhere, troll.
BTW this will not be an imposition for these people much longer. Most of these jobs can and will be done for 20-25 per day in Asia. Then these "Dill" employees will not have to worry about the office.
@@ew5722 Let's offshore every other job while we're at it! Imagine the savings to shareholders!
05:27. I truly agree with you on employers being more transparent. To approach the issue with threats of no promotion when studies have shown that working from home actually increases productivity is not the way to go. During COVID, the UK govt encouraged people to support restaurants to boost the economy and so many people complied. So employers speaking the truth to employees (i.e. we've paid a huge lease on this building, we've promised the local authorities that our presence will boost other businesses and public transport, you won't lose your benefits or promotions but we would like you to show up company events etc...) you'll be surprised how many people will respond positively to that.
Think about it. Someone is being more productive in their job working from home and because they're not coming to the office, the person that is less productive in the office gets the promotion just because they're in the office? No wonder 50% gave Dell the middle finger.
Nobody is concerned about career progression. Yes that 3 percent promotion will work so well with 5 percent inflation.
For me, it’s disrespectful coworkers and closed minded management that makes me not want to be in a traditional workplace. I played team sports and I was raised to have respect for others by my grandfather who spent 40 years in the military. I literally studied management in college and understand effective communication and leadership. Most managers and business owners have terrible management skills and low key or flat out blame entry level employees for the failures of the company. And some jobs only pay management an extra $2/hr which doesn’t equate to the extra responsibility. I’m a proud full-time DoorDasher, I get to write off tons of expenses for my taxes, and I have an LLC and brand I’m working on. If I ever get to the point of having employees… I will treat them AMAZINGLY because I know what it’s like to be treated worse than a stray alley cat. No way in heck will I tarnish my name or business by displaying horrible character just for money.
There have been a lot of layoffs in Tech. I suspect they will slowly start replacing the workers, in the positions they truly need to keep, as more qualified workers become available. At some point they will have a mass layoff....hmmm, my guess would be mostly remote workers.
The first response should be pointing out whether Dells productivity and profits are up or still increasing since workers went remote.
Honestly there isn’t really another side to this. There was a reason Long Island city rejected Amazon H2Q. San Fran, NYC, Portugal (the country) has shown that landlords increase rents exponentially to maximize their margins so only the tech, bank workers etc can afford it.
It’s already been proven that to increase your salary, we should be moving to a new role or company every 3-4 years. Lastly I agree with you about entrepreneurship, it’s not for everyone. My only caveat is that as blacks we only ever think of taking a passion and making a business from scratch. A lot of ppl can’t do that but a lot can buy an existing business.
I’ve been a webmaster since 2001 and have never gone to the office. Regular civilian workers are ruining this for us.
Yesssssssssss
What I'm seeing is, remote jobs become Indian Jobs, Mexican , Poland jobs. You want to work for a company that can't outsource your job to another country and pay them less. Personaly i dont like dressing up for work and going in, I love my coworkers and lack distractions.
It's to justify the managers. If no one's in the office, how many managers do you really need?
Yep and corporate real estate costs
Dell is gonna suffer long term
They will find cheaper employees
@VicDamoneJr82 that doesn’t mean anything
Their quality of work will diminish as well
@@VicDamoneJr82And you believe the competition wouldn‘t be thriving over Dell, seeing how their employees are treated? No solid foundation to lead a successful business, means shareholders are going to be taking their money elsewhere. Dell is super dead for this.
I disagree
@@VicDamoneJr82 or hire contractors
Everyone wants to get promoted, but how many people really get promoted? The majority don’t. For this reason, the employees voted and voted properly.
It’s the best opportunity to come into the office while everyone is chilling at home. It’s the same situation of the people who changed their jobs when unemployment was paying really good and companies were desperate for someone with a heartbeat.
In America unless you are the employer, you are a slave
Most people would not even blink a eye with a 20% pay cut to work from home... Riding to the office cost a lot of money and time!!!
companies don’t care about employees they expect you to give at least two weeks before you leave but they’ll drop it in a second. They treat you like a number so it’s time employees do the same.
What goes around comes around
The “raise” is getting a second remote job 😂
The promotion is thankless with inflation. All of the work I have done the past 10 years washed away with the cost to live.
What it boils down to is management having too much power in people's lives. Additionally, toxic management does not want you to be comfortable and cozy while working. They want you in an environment similar to an old master's plantation set up but modernized. Drama and toxicity thrived in plantations and it thrives in most workplaces today. That plantation mentality is still alive and well. What if the plantation workers could do the SAME job from their cabin? The master wouldn't be able to capitalize his profits, freely walk about and harrass people at his will. Therefore, oppressive measures similar to share cropping are put in place such as a promise of a promotion you'll never get, pitting employees against one another based on differences, allowing some employees to get away with things that others would be terminated for, plantation politics....The US workforce needs to heal from its plantation past and do better by it's citizens. What "worked" before ain't gonna work no mo....
A few reasons why they want them back in the office: 1) if they don't come back, that might lead to voluntarily quitting, 2) office space costs money, 3) to maintain control over the workers. Dell, by discriminating against working from home, is incentivizing some of its best workers to leave. This might increase their profitability to shareholders short term, but long term it dooms the company. In the end, a company only truly has what it values, and if it doesn't have good employees, it doesn't have a future!
Not a good look for Dell at all, who wants to work for a company that treats people or threatens like that.
Good content, please keep these kind of videos coming.
I have a friend from Panama , I used to work with him back in the days , he has been working remote since the pandemic and the traffic it's horrendous to get to the office so I am sure he won't be returning to the office
No, I’ve only we can get together about housing, food, prices, gas prices, and everything else they’re doing to us
Promotions are meant to come along with a subtantial pay increase. These days too many companies want to promote people without the subtantial bump in pay. There are still several people out there who will do it for the title, but most people don't think the promotion is worth it. Going back into the office would be a demotion due to the amount of gas money and time spent in traffic. You want people back in the office? Start offering more money for those promotions and you will see people jump right back in. At the end of the day, the juice needs to be worth the squeeze.
Good for those workers. The fact that people here don’t stand up for workers rights is one of the more irritating things about this country.
Downside is when there are layoffs, the people working at home will be the first to go. But working from home is so much better if you can get it.
@@jefft8597 that’s not necessarily true it can be nuanced
😂 no promotion is probably exactly what would have happened anyway
Nope. I've been working remotely since 2015, long before it was "cool." Over the years, I have turned down so many jobs simply because they had an " on-site" requirement. My life is built around being remote. I work way more being home than I ever have in the office. It would reduce my production if I had to go to the office every day.
Yeah, we know, they just got the list of people to lay off next. So it's not just that toxic work environment.
No promotions, I bet a lot of great employees left Dell because of this. I hope the moron leaders at dell realize I won't apply and they won't get the good ones back.
I remember living in Henry County Ga and working in Clayton Ga as a data entry clerk. If anyone remembers the year we ran out of gas. Like, literally. We were driving to work and most days for a week. We only worked 3 hours. Just burning gas for nothing. We asked to be moved to remote because the job could easily be done from home. There was no paper or machine work needed. They refused. So, we all started filing for unemployment to cover the missed wages. We were by law full time employees. Needless to say, they laid off some ppl right before Chrisrmas. Smdh

hey working from home is great but she fully said "The employees voted and the employees won"... it literally says that "nearly" half of the employees voted against, which means they lost 😆 they shouldn't have even brought up the vote, the ones that want to work from the office should go and the ones that don't, shouldn't. voting has nothing to do with it
This is what the entire worforce needs to do in the country
The issue of urban and suburban/rural dynamics has become a national concern. Coastal cities and large urbanized areas have not adapted to the changing face of economies. The US is now in the information age, transitioning toward niche markets, possibly driven by AI. White-collar jobs can easily transition away from urban cores. Major urban centers need to acknowledge their changing tax base. Commercial real estate generates more tax revenue than residential property taxes in these densely populated cities. For decades, the high concentration of capital and political power has been absorbed by these urban areas. Generally, people prefer to be left alone and are willing to pay taxes, but they expect a fair return for their contributions.
The problem is that these highly urbanized centers often lean left or 'progressive,' and political blocs like unions tend to erode middle-class wealth with little gain. Look at Oakland, CA: high living costs, expensive housing, and costly, unsafe commutes contribute to a city plagued by crime and inadequate law enforcement. The black community has suffered under ineffective restorative justice measures, serving as a warning sign. Eventually, large corporations may buy up commercial spaces at low prices, triggering gentrification that forces out long-term residents.
In essence, high-density urban areas need to adopt land use and zoning changes that support diverse economies, rather than relying solely on white-collar employment. A focus on manufacturing, supply distribution, and varied economic activities is necessary. Humans are not meant to be confined to cubicles. Why spend 45 minutes to 1.5 hours commuting each way, only to work 8-10 hours and then make the same trip back?
If individuals and corporations are concerned about climate change, we should encourage telecommuting for white-collar positions. This would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from idling single-occupancy vehicles, decrease road maintenance needs due to reduced daily travel, and lower gas consumption, along with its associated infrastructure costs.
Telecommuting policies could effectively drain large urban centers and refocus on individual areas and regions, ultimately benefiting both people and the environment.
Never worked for a company that allows you to decide where you work from. Guess it works until they need to shrink the footprint. They will be the first ones out the door. If it happens to be during a downturn then it might require some belt tightening and hard decisions. Companies and Industries all have a life cycle. These folks are in an industry that's hot at the moment. If it cools and they have to jump to another industry then it will be an awakening.
Organizations should put more time and effort into creating better work places and better work environments. Clearly, people don't want to work in the office. But how many of these companies are listening and trying to make it better!!
You save time and money we. Less stressful more productive. Companies need to chill and address the people that need to be addressed. Promotions aren’t always what they seem
I don't think it's really a win for the employees. More of a truce while DELL figures out some other way to force people back to the office. But I do think this is a wonderful time for DELL employees to reflect a bit on what is important to them, and what they're willing to pay to get it. For myself, I live in an area where the office commute isn't an issue - a few minutes and the office culture is friendly. But if I had a long commute and the workplace was stressful I'd pay a lot to be able to work from home.
They didn’t FU anything they took the compromise. As far as anyone knows getting half of the workforce to take said compromise might have been the plan all along.
Cheaper for dell. No raise, no office expense
Well if my memory serves me correctly Michael Dell's started Dell in his dorm room. If a dorm room, not a home was suitable why doesn't your home inspire you. Companies need to evolve and not be so shortsighted. Penalizing and disregarding talent is an interesting business strategy.
I'm a healthcare worker and a lot 9f workplaces are hella toxic and unhealthy!! I'm glad employees are advocating for themselves. The reality id many valuable employees were being looked over for promotions and pay increases, anyway.
These companies are asking people to pay more to go back to work. Day care cost, commuting cost and discretionary spending is eliminated or decreased dramatically when you work from home. You won’t need a raise if you can get the majority of your paycheck back to spend in other categories.
Lost my dry cleaning business because of remote workers. I am about a month away from graduating a tech school and have already have taken a full time job offer from Dell. Obviously, Dell is hiring me and most of my class to fill a hole which was created by remote workers. Good luck remoters I will gladly replace you
Troll 🤣🎶🎶
If getting your work done isn't enough for promotion, eff em. They don't want to promote anyway.
I work a 10-4 work week with two days remote. I’m maxed out on salary but life is too good now to move!
I dont work at Dell however the cat is out the bag and no one including me wants to work in a cubical or office 5 to 6 days a week. If its not remote or HYBRID I dont want it. And another thing promotion thing is just means I don't have take responsibility and work on other things outside work.
Getting up 2 hrs earlier for time I’m not getting paid and driving (gas and maintenance) 40 min to and from work along with inflation…is not going to make me buy anything around that company. Going into the office to wait in line for a promotion is a demotion at this particular time.
I also walk everyday around my neighborhood I feel is safer than where I work. I lost 40lbs being at home. I am more active and go to a lot more restaurants now than I did while working in office. I could go on but I rather work from home. Not to mention I don’t have to worry about doing fire drills in a high rise or deal with bomb threats or hostile coworkers.
I wish my company has this option. I’m sure over 50% of staff will choose to work remotely than “climbing some obscure corporate ladder”, whose rules are always bent for nepotism or politics.
I’m 50/50 on this too… you send people home and they start adjusting their life to working at home and then you bring them back? That’s not fair, people need babysitters, on the flip side, why not learn another part of the business with a promotion? You can always take your skills to another company if it don’t work out for you. Now is the opportunity to jump on the learning process to be promoted. Everybody want 6 figures but don’t want to put the work in.
If you can work remote, you can be replaced by AI
They are paying for unused office space, so why pay for unused office space when u have employees that can utilize it.
I gave up my car, I only need one car. I went from a 2 car household to a one car.If I need the car the same time as my wife, I can uber, ride my bicycle or just reschedule. Its been four years that I have been working from home and there has never been a true conflict on the need of an additional car.
I save the extra car payment, insurance , gas and wear and tear. I also have 4 hours of my life back on a daily basis by not commuting. With that extra time, I can Work-out consistently. I usually swim or bike ride and lift weights. I have more time to learn how to play guitar.
a lot more quality of life. I am probably saving 10K a year in car expense alone
So Dell is against laptop computers and portablenelectronics now😂
Dell will still find a way to get rid of a lot of those employees. I would be looking for a new job at a company with a better culture.
Once a month office days are fine, and you can keep your damn "promotions" cuz in my line of work (translator/HR/admin) there's no moving upwards much. Only thing I miss is the natural unconscious exercise you get walking around the office complex, chatting with the few coworkers you like, and dressing up a little instead of wearing your too-comfy lounge wear all day.
The thing is RTO doesn’t guarantee a promotion anyway.
Remote workers will also be the first to be layed off. If Dell really want people back in office believe me they will start hiring and firing the remote workers. No one is irreplaceable.
That’s fine they’ll have to replace a lot of people
@@TechTualChatterAnd they will be able to replace quickly.
The pendulum swings both ways. That job is also replaceable. Loyalty is dead. The mass layoffs proved it. They started the game, so, game on.
@@TheUnconfortableTruth lots of people looking for a job right now that will run to that office to work. I also know quite a few people been off work with degrees and can’t find a job. I wouldn’t tell anyone to be so quick to quit a job right now.
@@patrecem.9523 Fair, but right now isn't a long game (always look at the long game, your employer is). Look months or years into the future. Take the work in-office for the "emergency job", but don't accept it as a long-term goal, and don't let it wear you down. Keep thinking long-term. Wade through sh*t today to find gold tomorrow.
With that said, be check Glassdoor reviews before applying to the next job (remember long game). And keep looking. It only takes 30 minutes at week, or if you have alerts set, even less time.
Lastly, mental health above all else. You aren't good to anyone if you aren't good to yourself first.
I have a sit-stand desk and a desk bike at home. I get more exercise at home.
Imagine working from home and not having to deal with workplace politics.
This will be temporary. Dell will start replacing them immediately, and in the next 2 to 3 years, they will be the ones laughing. Corporations do not care about you. Even 1 percent its all about money don't be fooled.
Boosting the economy to help these greedy corporations isn’t my problem. That’s their problem
