Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”

a working study at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research suggested around a 10 percent drop in productivity, even as it noted that the cost-saving benefits of remote work could make up for some of that.

10%? Is this something taken indiscriminately across all job types and job sectors? I mean, sure, being a barista remotely is going to be pretty tough, but being able to do thoughtwork in a quiet and clean work environment a meter from the bed is probably going to increase productivity.

I'm glad 50% of Dell employees have a spine and told management to fuck itself.

Way to reduce your talent pool. Real big brain thinking by management yet again.
- And AI will fix it at the end.
Saved them *from doing layoffs I imagine?
