re: Dell announces work from home - no promotions

Thoughts from boomer / long-time IT manager fixing to retire:

- Yes, Dell has ballz (and should be admired) for explicitly stating their policy.
-- They will lose some folks, no question, for going to a three-DAW policy

- I know of a large financial institution that did nearly the same thing except more strict: they stated everyone must do three days a week.
-- Well, you ask, what about all the folks hired during COVID that were flung far and wide? Tough shite, they said, they must move closer and do the 3 DAW. They have lost a chunk of foks, but oh well. But not surprising from this Co that has an aggressive performance management approach that trims the fat every year.

- The Fortune 100 co I work for now requires 2 DAW EXCEPT for Technology non-management. So I'm supposed to go in but nobody on my teams have to. Our CIO knows we'll take a huge hit.

- As for the point about not being able to exhibit leadership remotely, that's BS. We seen numerous cases since COVID where leaders emerged. Sure, it's more difficult, but possible.
