lol, depending on what your level is this might actually be fine. Yeah, you mean I can just chill and not take on responsibility or have to fake enthusiasm for “career” growth when all I really want to do is collect a paycheck and clock out at 5pm… while also having amazing work-life balance and no commute due to WFH? Where do I sign up?

This. Also if I have to change jobs every 2-3 years to get a market level salary why would I even bother. This is the reality they created.

Johnson, where is that quarterly turnover report? We can't train people fast enough! Why are we wasting so much money on all these HR costs like recruiting and pizza parties? What we need is a real game changer, I've got it, we'll give them access to the Calm app to help with 60 hrs per week.

Literally what I am doing. I'm past the point of caring about my career because I don't want the responsibility or stress for a couple dollars. I do my job, keep my head down, and don't cause waves.

I hadn't thought of that lol. I'm not in the place yet where I'm good to sit in a position, so this policy would run me off. But hey if you're in a good spot at Dell and don't want or need to rock the boat, then go for it.
