The Hidden Cost Behind Dell’s Layoff Cycle
Everyone talks about Dell’s stock run and AI growth, but almost nobody talks about the long-term cost of the nonstop restructuring. The recent numbers are pretty staggering: • $227M spent on severance in just 13 weeks • Another $242M already... — read more
June Quarterly Review
These meetings feel like nothing more than propaganda and further attempts to indoctrinate the feeble minded.
It’s hard to trust anyone
I don’t know when work turned into everyone trying to prove they’re the last one who should be cut, but that’s what it feels like now. People chase approval, grab credit, and act friendly until there’s a chance to make someone else look bad. It’s... — read more
Rats fleeing Dell boat
Massive insiders selling stock and nothing given to the employees ever. Leaving bag holders. Get far away from dell
Working for Dell is Embarrassing
All my friends and former engineering colleagues laugh at Dell. Now, before all you nepotistic so-called "leaders" jump on and say "Fine, go someplace else then..." let me get ahead of that and simply say, Go FK Yourself!! You're ki-ling this company... — read more

New Wave of Layoffs Coming
Well, what leaders, especially certain SVPs, VP’s, and Sr. Directors, have been waiting for has happened. The $100K H1B visa fee has been blocked by a Federal Court. The wheels are already turning in RR and Austin to start lining up all the... — read more
CEOs are waking up to the reality of AI
Well, the reality of its price and ROI. It's going to be so much fun to sit here and watch as the price tag balloons to ten times what it would have cost to keep the people who were laid of to be replaced by it. And then to watch them scramble to get... — read more
Sunday. #FearDay
How many if you try to enjoy your Sunday...but in the back of your mind wonder if tomorrow's Monday brings that HR meeting and the Hallowed "Reading the prepared text" letting you know your position has been replaced by a cheap labor offshore or... — read more
All the remaining rats
Running off the dell ship. For Dell employees you saw the company at record market cap and they didn’t care to share. Market cap will be cut in half by August and then the snakes will start the layoff process all Over again.
What’s Next for Dell
Not a damn thing. No innovation. Horrible take on human capital. Stay away from these mushroom clouds
get out of this company ASAP
About to have negative earnings for the next few years
New word for Dell Leadership to learn
Execution - The act of doing or performing something planned. It is the process of turning ideas or strategies into action and/or formidable products.
Sales Town Hall
Thoughts on that Town Hall?
Are we now in the "silent layoffs" stage?
No announcements, no WARN, just a few people here and there?
Sales KPI Tracking
How is it more efficient to have gone from using one tool.... Saleworks... to now using two tools DSA & Saleworks to track the same data? Also... the seperate data in DSA & Saleworks is less accurate or accessible than it was when it was solely in... — read more
Looking for an update
I left the company some months back and am curious about two things Next Best Action Maverick How are these progressing?
Renewed focus on remote employees?
Is there any truth behind a mid year focus on impacting remote employees? I heard there is but can’t comprehend how we can continue to lose people while the scope of work increases. ODW isn’t helping with workload (at least yet) and using AI only... — read more
New word for Dell Leadership to learn
Innovation - the process of creating, improving, or applying ideas, products, services, technologies, methods, or business models in a way that produces meaningful value.
Current Headcount
Hey, we used to have a pretty good way to track headcount, they stole that from us and the current way I think is not accurate at least for me. Does anyone have a semi accurate headcount?
Dell Ireland?
Site in Limerick has lost it's buzz entirely. First time I've actually felt an unease about it's future & I remember the 2009 cull.
The Crooked E
The Unshredded Truth About Dell
Voluntary Separation Plan
When will the Voluntary Separation Plan be offered to U.S. employees? Is it available to employees in all roles, or is participation limited to the sales organization?
Ethics and compliance training
I wonder if Dell will have its ethics and compliance training this year? Coming from an unethical and corrupt group of people would be pretty ridiculous.
Tell Dell - no more eNPS Score
Heard they are no longer publishing the eNPS Score - so it must be really bad and i love it for them, but sadly no one will care.
Dell Side / L-Dell
Just a general thread - open for all discussions.
More on the PC spinoff speculation
Our team is coming up with a $699 computer to compete with the Apple $599 computer. If we’re a market leader, why didn’t we come up with the not a Chromebook device before Apple. The Apple will be better built and last a student all through high... — read more
When did Dell become so toxic?
My neighbors ask me all the time when did Dell become so toxic? I tell them it's been this way for many years. But lately, it's accelerated because our inept, incompetent, inexperienced, nepotistic leadership clowns started thinking it could replace... — read more
IBP adjusted so we can’t all reap the success?
Dell adjusted the FY27 company bonus plan to have a lower waiting on a revenue this year. Dell knew that the revenue would be much higher this year when contracts were booked in fy26, sales were rewarded. Revenue follows cost/shipping... — read more
Pure speculation
I left Dell but retained the stock.I see the Trump admin gave a big DoD contract to Dell that should have gone to Microsoft. The result is a 30% increase in the stock price. I have no inside knowledge, but with most of the earnings coming from AI... — read more
My team is a nightmare and I am stuck in it
Every morning I wonder if today is the day they decide I am out. Leadership flips on people without warning and I have seen it happen too many times. The rules change weekly, nothing is written down, and I get blamed for not reading minds. I am... — read more
Ya'll going to take it
stock soars to 400 in after hours market. None of us are getting raises, promotions, stock purchase plan or RSU's and are constantly being threatened by layoffs. JC and MD are getting rich and we're suffering, yet we do all the work. How long are... — read more
Promotions are dead in the US...
I dare anyone to go look for a promotion opportunity on ODW that is within you realm of knowledge/role (the next IC level) and, I'd bet money there are plenty of open positions in other countries... Just not here in the US. In my org last year, of... — read more
99 Percent of CEOs Are Preparing to Lay Off Workers and Replace Them With AI Within Two Years, Survey Finds
Fear of AI is at an all-time high. Not fear of a Skynet-style superintelligent singularity seizing power, generally speaking, but of something perhaps just as horrifying: that life under capitalism continues much as it always has, with one key... — read more
Play nice but win ?
9.7B dollar Gov contract can't have been won fairly... maybe some bias here ya think?
I'm not really sure if onsite is being "monitored" anymore
Not sure why but, I have a hunch that onsite swipes are no longer being monitored by execs. They took the dashboard away from all of us (IC's and leaders) and I suppose the only reason for doing so is to make us blindly go in and not calculate days... — read more
