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.
