Dell Restricts Promotions for Fully Remote Workers

The new policy mandates hybrid work for career advancement, sparking concerns over equality and flexibility.

Dell has announced that employees who prefer to work fully remotely will not be eligible for promotions or able to change roles within the company.
The policy, which categorizes employees as either 'hybrid' or 'remote,' requires hybrid employees to work in an office at least three days a week.
The decision has sparked concerns among employees, particularly women, about the impact on career advancement and the potential for forced relocations.
Critics argue that the policy undermines the value of remote work and disregards the achievements of remote employees.
The policy represents a significant shift from Dell's previous support for remote work, including statements from CEO Michael Dell praising the benefits of remote work.
