But then you can’t fire them and not have to call it a re org.

TOModera ,

It’s nice, but it comes with micromanagement. They are like fleas, though the biting is more painful.

Won’t someone think of the poor capitalists who can’t love better lives then those around them!

/s, just in case.

Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

After reversing its position on remote work, Dell is reportedly implementing new tracking techniques on May 13 to ensure its workers are following the company’s return-to-office (RTO) policy, The Register reported today, citing anonymous sources....

So I’ve worked in business for 17ish years now, and the only consistent thing I can say about business leadership is they are there to have their egos stroked.

They do not care about money or other people until they look bad, and even then they don’t do anything until someone threatens to take away the group of people forced to listen to them.

Working from home hurts their ego. This method (RTO) doesn’t improve value and increases turnaround, which increases expenses if you are happy with the amount of people working for your company, as replacing people costs money.

So either Dell still needs to get rid of people, or a bunch of old fucks need someone to suck up to them in person.

Hard to say, you could be right. That’s where I’m less sure. I’ve had jobs where a (not direct manager) boss thinks I do less than I do, and more than I do.

The ones who believed I did less believed they did more than me regardless of what my manager reported or actual work done. The ones who believed more consistently didn’t hand me work and I eventually would leave.

One job I had different people who disagreed about the actual amount of work I did based on if I was at my desk vs the amount of awards I had vs my lunch breaks vs my extra work projects. I’d have feedback sessions with my manager about burnout but also if I was taking too long for lunch and going home too early.

What I’m saying is I think people are terrible at assessing subordinates work.

TOModera ,

Yeah I was wondering if it was an underhanded way to get rid of people without officially letting them go. Seems like a lot of time and money tracking people to do that though, so I really have to wonder if they’ve lost the plot, thus me leaning towards incompetence.

That all said, and to hedge my bets, I haven’t seen their Financials. Maybe the verification is using cheap labour like YouTube review systems, for instance, or maybe they are really bloated.

Will I ever be seen as truly British?

My family immigrated to the UK from Poland when I was six. I’m 20 now, speak much better English than Polish and feel like this is my land/culture. However I have a Polish first and last name, Polish passport and “unique” accent everyone picks up on, so despite this I’m usually perceived as an outsider. It makes me...

Born Canuck here. Yes one of us, ya hoser.

I mean, he’s a Tigger, not a Tiger, so that’s off.

They were subject to the same propaganda we all were and no one is immune, so yes, feeling empathy is OK.

Also there is a huge potential problem when you give a group lots of power and then under pay them. They are a lot easier to bribe.

Merchants have become so powerful that I, a serf, have been taught number solely to account for every penny they make. For this, I’m allowed to live an okay life. I do it with magic (Excel) because they are so big and don’t want to hire many of me. They still act like the Dutch and East India Companies, with slightly fewer atrocities.

TOModera ,

Think about it: original poster made a joke about Marvel firing a DC person.

Anthony Starr works for an Amazon Prime original, The Boys, as Homelander. So…

“I’m not racist, but” oh, they are going to say something racist.

Weirdest ongoing joke, if I remember right. His real name is Nicholas Schimmelpenninck, but when he took over as the main host in season 2, they had shortened it to make it easier to say.

Quote from the article:

However, Spencer outlined a number of blocks on the merger, including the fact Nintendo seemed uninterested in selling up. Nintendo is “sitting on a big pile of cash”, Spencer said, and was apparently happy with its current position. As a result, Spencer said he couldn’t “see an angle” on a buyout in the short term, adding: “I don’t think a hostile action would be a good move… so we are playing the long game."

So its never happening and it’s at best delusional. Got it.

TOModera ,

Yikes, thanks for sharing. Maybe it’s time for some Nintendo shareholders to ensure it doesn’t become an annoying add on for Xbox. Or not, they may just take the cheques.

TOModera ,

Cubicles? In this economy?

TOModera ,

I’ve never been so angry reading something I had to go through at 3 different jobs.

TOModera ,

Worked at 3 of them that did that. Worst working environmentsever. Current one is experimenting with it, but I’m WFH all the time so I just made it known I never want that.

TOModera ,

Go for some burgers, toast the buns, salt the tomatoes, setup caramelized onions, and use a nice cheese. Homemade buns go the extra mile.

TOModera ,

Totally, never buy the pre portioned ones. Always make them from scratch.
