What the hell does RTO have to do with women specifically? It's a mandate regardless of gender.
Reads article.
Ahh. Nothing. One department happened to be more heavily impacted for females, so suddenly it makes Dell a "boys club" (someone quoted in the article). The only reason provided was the possibility of women with spouses in the military that couldn't move.
Yeah, that's really stretching there and then slapped into the title for rage bait.
RTO mandates are newsworthy by their own right. No need to rage bait with nonsense to accompany it.
No. This is not legally correct in the US. Discrimination can be direct (women have to RTO, but men don't) or indirect (everyone has to RTO, but women are statistically way more likely to be forced to quit their jobs due to the change). This is called disparate impact and is a serious issue.
Now, is this happening in this case? Possibly. Likely too early to tell.
