Dell Orders Salespeople Back to Offices Five Days a Week

The tech company’s decision to end work from home comes on the heels of a similar order from Amazon.

Dell Technologies Inc. is calling its salespeople back to the office five days a week starting next week.

“The expectation is that ALL Global Sales team members who can work from a Dell office be onsite five days a week, regardless of role,” sales executives Bill Scannell and John Byrne wrote Thursday in a memo to Dell employees. “We know situations will arise when you need to work remotely. This is expected, but working remotely should be the exception rather than routine.” The company previously asked employees to work in the office three days a week.
