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

This is exactly what happened at my last company during the RTO push, senior employees, including me, were leaving in droves and it got bad quickly. As a result the company upped their salaries and offered fully remote work instead of just hybrid to keep people around. The only way a company will listen is if you hit them in their wallets.

Probably because I didn’t say “unionize.”
A union isn’t going to fix a broken company culture, it’s just going to get more bargaining power for employees. The union won’t change priorities for the executive team to prioritize cyber security, customer-friendly products, and it probably won’t change company policy around badging. It might get more WFH, but if the executive team is hell-bent on tracking its users, the union will probably shift focus to better benefits (oh, you want to screw us over more? Pay more!).
So no, I don’t think it’s worth trying to unionize and fix the company from within. Quit and take all of that institutional knowledge with you to hit them where it counts: the stock price.
