Dell enacts stricter return-to-office policy In February 2024, Dell reportedly started enacting a more strict return-to-office (RTO) mandate.

Dell's employee satisfaction rate has plummeted nearly 50% in two years, with workers citing ongoing layoffs and the company's return-to-office policy.

Dell's sales team were the first to be asked to return five days a week to office in September 2024, according to reports. Austin-area workers have not been thrilled by the news.
