re: Dell announces work from home - no promotions

The entire work from home option really depends on your profession.

My entire team is remote, productivity has gone up, and they are based all over the US and Canada.

Obviously the profession matters, but assuming that being in the office equals better productivity is just BS.

The last company that I worked for that tried to eliminate work from home options saw a decrease in morale and a decrease in interest for job positions. Not to mention the amount of people that went somewhere else.

Being in the office is just a backwards way of thinking in the current age of technology that can monitor KPIs, Active Screen time, and more.

Again, depends on the profession, but these companies eliminating the option or putting restrictions in place is just the sign of some VP or Director trying to make their mark with BS policies.
