There's a pretty good chance that every employee facing this offer is in a position where Dell sees them as replaceable. They want people who follow orders and not much more, so if you want to look at it through that filter Dell got what they wanted.
Unless somebody over there at the top is crazy, Dell would have had individual deals with the true innovators, decision makers, movers and shakers internally who are viewed as top tier and irreplaceable.
What happens if you refuse both options?
That's called "time to get a new job."
Before I came in here, I assumed that's what "or else" meant, and I'm still not sure it doesn't mean that.
Can you be fired for conditions they decided to change?
In the US, yes, in most states. If you're not following company policy, even if that changed since you started, that's not wrongful termination unless it's for "unfair labor practices" or something. Employment contracts don't really exist unless you're a contractor.
In most US states, you can be fired for any reason that isn't explicitly illegal.
In the USA, if it is not explicitly written in your job description/contract that you are remote, yes. It also means you can't apply for unemployment as you were terminated for refusal to perform work duties, even if you are working.
I had one of those at my job. They fired him.
Others said their local offices had closed since the pandemic
This part is wild. So they closed down the office and then punish the employees for not coming into the office. Tell me this is illegal.
Just pick hybrid and fake the system that tracks you. Probably not super hard to trick it.
It's by your employee id card, gotta go on site to swipe card, then you can sneak home. remeber to sneak back in to swipe out!
