So Dell wants to do a layoff of sales staff, and is going to lose their best performers first.

i hate how this "best performers" rhetoric always comes out in WFH discussion. everyone should be able to work from home if it's better for them regardless of if they're The Best at their dunder-mifflin ass job

Sure, everyone that has a job that can be done from home should be permitted to do it from home if they want to.

What the best performers rhetoric is about is that these companies are harming their long term prospects by doing things like this, since the personnel that make the most money for the company are generally the ones that can easily leave for another company that will not treat them like a child that needs to be directly monitored.
