Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees

Stressful travel, being away from the family for days, sitting in a shitty meeting room talking about the same shit you talk about online and then sitting with a bunch of people getting senseless drunk, cringing constantly. I hate those meetings.

I never went back to the office after the pandemic.
I actually got really sick and had to spend a small amount of time in hospital, afterwards I might have slightly paid up the emotional trauma to management so they couldn’t try that BS. Eventually they did anyway I along with a lot of my colleagues quit and got another job straight away.
Apparently they have now flip-flopped again and are back to permanent work from home for everyone who wants it. I wonder if losing a third of their work force in a month had something to do with that.

100% homeoffice jobs are incredibly rare in Germany. I habe 50% homeoffice which is quite good for German standards. Even at the height of Corona the offices weren’t empty here.

That seems like a problem. They should have been.
The point in a lockdown if you’re not actually locking anyone down. It’s not a lockdown then.

Lockdowns here were kinda half assed. Germans love work. :)
