Reddit thread discusses Dell's recent five-day return-to-office mandate, which many users believe is a tactic to force employees to quit rather than undergo official layoffs, as Dell would then avoid paying severance and unemployment insurance. Many users cite Dell's history of layoffs and employee mistreatment, arguing that the company prioritizes short-term profit over employee well-being. The short notice given to employees, coupled with the difficulty of finding childcare on such short notice, further fuels these accusations. Users express concern for the potential brain drain the mandate might cause, as talented employees may choose to leave Dell for companies offering more flexible work arrangements.
