Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees
isles@lemmy.world 4 months agoLove it when the logical excuse is the Sunk Cost Fallacy.
Though I think there’s some truth - companies still pay employees for their WFH rigs / utilities (or they should be, anyway), so it’s not exactly free for them to have WFH (just a lot cheaper, if there’s a choice).
The logical excuse I buy into is that commercial real estate is valued on it’s income and if business aren’t renewing leases because they don’t need office space, then commercial real estate values tank. That and thinly veiled layoffs.

Which companies pay for WFH expenses? I worked for the biggest software company in the world in 2022 and there was no WFH allowance. We were 100% WFH at that point.

Yeah we are all WFH and we asked for a small stipend that was denied.
I expended a double wide gaming monitor anyway. Boss didn’t care.

I use a 55" 4k TV. The screen real estate is great.

In many countries they have to pay for ergonomically suitable WFH equipment if they mandate WFH
