Dell Mandates Return to Office: Hybrid Work Policy Scrapped

Dell Technologies is ending its hybrid work arrangement in March, requiring all employees previously allowed to work from home part-time to return to the office for a full five-day work week. Those working remotely within an hour's drive of a Dell office must also commute daily. CEO Michael Dell justified the decision by emphasizing the benefits of in-person communication and citing the full-time office presence of sales, manufacturing, and engineering teams. This contradicts previous statements about remote work flexibility and has sparked employee discontent. Dell claims the change is aimed at boosting innovation and market leadership.
