It was reported earlier this year that Dell would start classifying most workers as either remote or hybrid. Hybrid workers must come into the office at least.
In brief: Would you be willing to sacrifice promotions and the opportunity to change roles if it meant working remotely full-time? That’s the dilemma facing Dell’s employees, and almost half of them have opted to stay remote due to personal, financial, and logistical reasons.
It was reported earlier this year that Dell would start classifying most workers as either remote or hybrid. Hybrid workers must come into the office at least 39 days per quarter, which is the equivalent of about three days per week. And while remote workers get to stay at home full-time, the trade-off is a lack of career advancement: no promotions or applying for new roles at the company.
Dell uses a color-coded monitoring system to ensure its remote workers are meeting their office attendance quota. Business Insider reports that it has seen this internal tracking data, and it shows almost 50% of employees have chosen to stay at home full-time despite the consequences.
