Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted.
Way to reduce your talent pool. Real big brain thinking by management yet again.
why pay seasoned experts $X when you can pay 20-somethings fresh out of school and willing to do anything for $X-40K
And AI will fix it at the end.
Saved them *from doing layoffs I imagine?
More honest headline: Dell created intolerable working conditions so that they could engage in constructive dismissal and avoid paying for unemployment for their massive layoffs.
a working study at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research suggested around a 10 percent drop in productivity, even as it noted that the cost-saving benefits of remote work could make up for some of that.
10%? Is this something taken indiscriminately across all job types and job sectors? I mean, sure, being a barista remotely is going to be pretty tough, but being able to do thoughtwork in a quiet and clean work environment a meter from the bed is probably going to increase productivity.
I’m glad 50% of Dell employees have a spine and told management to fuck itself.
