Computer technology company Dell has made headlines for its new work-from-home policy. According to the policy, fully remote employees will no longer be eligible for promotions. There is an exception, however, for hybrid workers (i.e., those who spend three days a week in the office). Unsurprisingly, the policy has sparked debate and confusion over the future of remote work—both at Dell and other companies. Dell’s policy seems to contrast with the growing trend of companies embracing (and some even preferring) remote work. Further, any policy facially limiting promotions can’t be good for retention rates in a competitive market, right?
