    That’s a horribly deceiving title. They just stayed remote and made themselves ineligible for promotion.

    Business Insider claims it has seen internal Dell tracking data that reveals nearly 50 percent of the workforce opted to accept the consequences of staying remote, undermining Dell’s plan to restore its in-office culture.

        Can confirm. ^^’

        Though I am just going to resign on Monday and give myself the push.

            That would be the dream, but it hasn’t panned out, and my long notice period is hampering me. I’m not going to continue slogging it out here indefinitely, and I don’t need to.

            I don’t need any additional anxiety to discourage me from getting out of this before I just burn out and am in a worse position.

              I saw a handmade sign in a floating workshop for ships, it stated “Please Resist Entropy”. That has inspired me ever since. It sounds like you are resisting entropy and good for you. Wish you better times and a better job. o7

              fair enough, and I’m sure you know what you’re doing. I’ve always felt that I’m in a much, much stronger position saying I’m employeed but I’d prefer to work for you rather than them suspecting that I just need some job, any job ya know

              anyway, hope you work it out

                Thanks, it’s the culmination of a lot of thought and a previous attempt by my manager and I to rework things to make it better but hasn’t really worked out. Onwards and upwards, I’d still intend to find a job during the 3 months notice period before I’m set loose so ideally I won’t lose the “tempt me away” factor before I get a new gig.

          I went from doer to manager, even though I’m now expected to do and manage… it isn’t enjoyable.

            Yeah but, if it was remotely enjoyable, then you might make 2 or maybe even 3% less profit for the lazy, workshy scroungers who own the company.

            We can’t have that now can we?

      ineligible for promotion

      This seems like an empty threat to me. Every promotion I’ve ever gotten internally has come with a negligible pay increase (~4%). The best promotions I’ve gotten have been leaving to take a new job somewhere else (~20-50%).

      Probably while updating their resumes and looking around for replacement jobs in case they find a better one. I know I would.

      Man these sensational titles for articles have been setting such a deceiving narrative. I feel like I’m in a veiled world since like 2015
