That’s a horribly deceiving title. They just stayed remote and made themselves ineligible for promotion.

Business Insider claims it has seen internal Dell tracking data that reveals nearly 50 percent of the workforce opted to accept the consequences of staying remote, undermining Dell's plan to restore its in-office culture.

Lol, more a hope than a plan

ineligible for promotion

This seems like an empty threat to me. Every promotion I've ever gotten internally has come with a negligible pay increase (~4%). The best promotions I've gotten have been leaving to take a new job somewhere else (~20-50%).

And that 4% just buys you a year before inflation cuts it back down again. Searching for a job from home is easier.

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Man these sensational titles for articles have been setting such a deceiving narrative. I feel like I'm in a veiled world since like 2015

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Probably while updating their resumes and looking around for replacement jobs in case they find a better one. I know I would.

Promotions haven't been worth it for 30 years. Most people stick around cuz it's a PITA getting a new job

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If promotion means becoming a manager... no thanks.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 0 points 5 months ago

I went from doer to manager, even though I'm now expected to do and manage... it isn't enjoyable.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Can confirm. ^^'

Though I am just going to resign on Monday and give myself the push.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

duuuude get a new job before you quir the old one

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Only if he still has any fucks to give

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or bills to pay. Or mouths to feed.

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 0 points 5 months ago

If they think about those, there are still fucks left to give.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 0 points 5 months ago (4 children)

That would be the dream, but it hasn't panned out, and my long notice period is hampering me. I'm not going to continue slogging it out here indefinitely, and I don't need to.

I don't need any additional anxiety to discourage me from getting out of this before I just burn out and am in a worse position.

It's contractual, I'm going to serve my notice period.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Good luck! Everything will work out eventually.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago

fair enough, and I'm sure you know what you're doing. I've always felt that I'm in a much, much stronger position saying I'm employeed but I'd prefer to work for you rather than them suspecting that I just need some job, any job ya know

anyway, hope you work it out

I saw a handmade sign in a floating workshop for ships, it stated "Please Resist Entropy". That has inspired me ever since. It sounds like you are resisting entropy and good for you. Wish you better times and a better job. o7
