Dell ends hybrid work policy despite remote work pledge
Briefly

Dell Technologies announced that it will end its hybrid work arrangement in March, requiring employees living near offices to work on-site five days a week. CEO Michael Dell emphasized the efficiency of in-person communication over lengthy email discussions. While remote workers far from offices can maintain their work arrangements, the policy shift marks a departure from earlier commitments. This change contrasts with past statements made during the pandemic affirming flexibility, indicating a significant shift in the company's approach to workplace dynamics.
Starting March 3, all hybrid and remote team members who live near a Dell office will work in the office five days a week. We are retiring the hybrid policy effective that day.
Dell justified the policy change by asserting a thirty-second in-person conversation can replace an email discussion that goes on for hours or days.
