… there is no such thing as company/employee loyalty any more so you have a maximum career there of 10 years or so.
Effectively promotion etc is a load of horseshit.they will take any old wanker on as a new senior or principle - and on better money than you - whereas ‘earning your way up’ is nigh on impossible/pointless.
Many companies don't value their current employees and will hire new staff at a better salary before offering a bump to somebody they already have. The same goes for promoting from within over hiring in people for more senior roles. This means many business people will change employers when it's time for a raise or they'd like to take on a more senior role (with raise). If Dell is going to place limits on paying more or promoting those that WFH, what's the difference? If you are working from home, you can shop for that new job and take calls without having to do a quick check to see if your supervisor is around.
Hang on is this the same dell that has all its computers manufactured remotely or are they bringing in the manuf process for everything on site ?
Wil the electricity for those ofices also be onsite, because off site electricity is also evil, i mean how do you know they are truely working eficiently if dell bosses cant see them ? Same question for other utlities ?
Why not stay remote?
15 ish years in IT and never seen one of these all important internal promotions.... Always quit and go work somewhere else for more money if you want to advance....
The whole thing is a huge pile of executive disconnect (eg, they all fought each other to move up within the company & had work lives full of collaboration and meetings, so they assume everyone does) and showing the employees who's boss (a noted point from inside Amazon - 'if everyone stopped bitching about it we'd stop caring about it, but as long as there is resistance we will keep pushing it - WRT RTO things)
Because managers need to look like they are doing something otherwise, they themselves might be fired because they are scared of the truth that they are unnecessary.
What you need to understand is that managers are not your friend, they are scheming people who lie and "pretend" they are valuable and important... which the exact opposite of the contributions they actually are.
This reminds me of the Sydney Trains... every few years when theres a new government or a new "ceo", what do they do ? THey change the colour of the stripe along the trains or the logo, real important stuff that makes things safer and faster. THis is the same its all about visibility and bullshitting for the camera or the audeince.
Some managers are like that. The good ones get out of your way an empower you to actually do a good job, instead of looking over your shoulder all the time waiting to be thrown under the corporate bus.
Shame the bad ones end up tarring the good ones.

New CEO and the locos and rolling stock get new livery... not that anyone actually notices.
I remember at one point (possibly David Hill's tenure) the route map in the carriages (think London Tube map) was "updated" becoming close to useless and showed "proposed" lines which still haven't eventuated two decades later.
Working in an organisation that had a decent turnover of CTOs, whenever a new appointment was announced my immediate and gratuitously shared thought was always "how much did they fucked up their previous employer's IT." The miracle of internet would often expose the answer in gory detail. ;)
At least one cloudy wonder has passed over a blighted land from one horizon of a dismal past to the opposite horizon of another's future disaster.
It all boils down to who is in greater need. An employee market means that one can jump at will, pick from a dozen job offers, and dictate his/her terms. Switch to an employer market and replace these phrases like so: pick from a dozen candidates, dictate the company's terms. Welcome to capitalism!
