The RTO Disaster: The most damaging policy change has been the mandatory post-COVID RTO. This policy has fundamentally killed our ability to operate effectively as a global organization. It has created unnecessary friction for distributed teams, reducing our productivity instead of improving it. I strongly suspect, as do many others, that this policy is a cruel way of reducing headcount without having to pay severance packages.
Cultural Collapse and Leadership Neglect: The internal distress is measurable and undeniable. Our last company check-in (Tell Dell) showed our eNPS score has plummeted from 70 to 32 in just two years. That dip is atrocious and should be a five-alarm fire for any executive team. Instead, leadership and HR have offered no substantive solutions, failing to address employees' deep and legitimate concerns in the slightest. This neglect signals that management does not value the people who actually drive the company's limited success.
Crippled Competitiveness: The combination of low morale and RTO friction has directly crippled our ability to compete and win in the marketplace. We are currently being held up by a few legacy business areas, but those areas are under immense competitive threat, and we are not organized or motivated to fight effectively.
