"The Office" that existed before COVID no longer exists. It's impossible to return to it. Albeit open-plan, relatively quiet has been replaced with just a bunch of people on teams/zoom calls talking loudly, whilst the co

OK, how about Stellantis (Jeep, Citroen, Vauxhall etc) introducing adverts every time you stop your car? https://m.slashdot.org/story/438631

Lawyers are yet to test this.

Assuming Dell doesn't pay for commuting costs, does this mean you can get an effective pay rise by moving 1h 1m from the nearest office?
