Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted.
Saved them for doing layoffs I imagine?

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.

More honest headline: Dell created intolerable working conditions so that they could engage in constructive dismissal and avoid paying for unemployment for their massive layoffs.

Way to reduce your talent pool. Real big brain thinking by management yet again.

why pay seasoned experts $X when you can pay 20-somethings fresh out of school and willing to do anything for $X-40K
