Dell Technologies is ending its hybrid work policy in March 2025, requiring employees living near offices to work in-person five days a week. CEO Michael Dell announced this change despite previous commitments to remote work, justifying it by claiming brief in-person conversations are more efficient than lengthy email exchanges. This policy shift contradicts Dell's earlier pandemic-era stance where they expected 60% of workforce to remain remote or hybrid. The change affects employees within an hour's commute of Dell offices, while those further away can continue working remotely.
