FenrirIIIDell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week
PogogunnerSo Dell wants to do a layoff of sales staff, and is going to lose their best performers first.
_number8_i hate how this “best performers” rhetoric always comes out in WFH discussion. everyone should be able to work from home if it’s better for them regardless of if they’re The Best at their dunder-mifflin ass job
Sure, everyone that has a job that can be done from home should be permitted to do it from home if they want to.
What the best performers rhetoric is about is that these companies are harming their long term prospects by doing things like this, since the personnel that make the most money for the company are generally the ones that can easily leave for another company that will not treat them like a child that needs to be directly monitored.
They are saying the return to office mandate will cause the best performers (who are likely more confident in securing another job) to quit first, not that everyone shouldn’t be WFH.
That’s not the argument. The argument is rather that good employees can easily find new and better jobs. So the remaining people are on average worse.
It’s also called Dead Sea Effect. The good ones evaporate, only salt remains.

It’s called the Dead Sea Effect.
While there’s always an influx of new talent into an organization, in response to any stressor or degradation there’s going to be people who leave in response. These will be the most employable of the current staff, as they know they can find better work and off they go. The people left behind are there sometimes by choice but usually by need.
Thus, the pure water evaporates off and leaves the salt behind.
