Dell Ends Hybrid Work, Office Return Set for March

Dell Technologies will end its hybrid work model in March, requiring employees who live within an hour's commute to a Dell office to work on-site five days a week. CEO Michael Dell announced the change, emphasizing the superior speed and efficiency of in-person interactions over digital communications. Employees who live further away will be allowed to continue working remotely, and team leaders may request exemptions for their members. This shift marks a departure from prior pandemic-era policies that supported remote work, reflecting a broader industry trend towards more office-based work. The decision follows similar moves by other major companies such as Amazon and AT&T. Dell's new policy aims to enhance in-person connections to drive innovation and market leadership.
