Dell has managed to drain much of the satisfaction from the work we do. The things that once made coming in each day worthwhile have steadily disappeared, and the overall experience now feels increasingly driven by employee exploitation rather than... — read more 

Dell used to have quarterly spifs. Both LEMC and LDell. They didn't make a huge difference to earnings but they were fun and something to focus on. Aren't there short term bonuses available any more to push a new or hot product?

I’ve noticed OKC management are going to different roles. Is the OKC office closing? What is going on?

I’m not sure if this is widely known, but the move to quarterly targets is driven by the One Dell Way tool launching in Q2. The compensation tool can’t combine targets, so the current approach is to set one target on the existing tool and the next... — read more

Can someone confirm if Minnesota site has been closed? Are there any other locations going to close this year? Utah?

So what are feeling the bonus modifier will be? Im thinking 100-105%

Usually - at least the last 6 years - layoffs have been rampant starting end of 4th and in 1st quarter. Haven't heard much about it lately, and not even on here. I'm wondering if it's because Maverick is so far behind schedule and/or they are now... — read more 

So basically they want sales reps working for salary only (no commission) up to the first 60% of your quota. Then you only get paid on the portion above 60%. Does MD personally just ignore the first 60% of revenue that comes in to the company?... — read more 

Reading the Fair Work Act 2009 and if my understanding is correct Dell cannot stop you from unionizing. Furthermore, it is illegal for an employer to take "adverse action" against you for being a union member or participating in union activities... — read more

SMCI just ate our lunch on the OpenAI deal. We lost it strictly on price because OpenAI is finally getting squeezed on their burn and moving to a cost-plus model. It’s a total repeat of the cloud cycle where we lost the CSPs to direct ODM... — read more

You were lazy not mentally and weak thinking Dell was a family company w summer picnics w lemonade and tootsie rolls being served to all the kids w clowns. Dell wins at all cost

To see Dell stock at 72 dollars per share, just a few weeks

ISR’s now make quotes for the channel, on top of all the KPI’s they increased on us. “You’ll get paid sh-t, be happy, or you can go suffer the job market that’s had the highest layoffs since 2009.”

Dell are rolling a target and if you don't do 60% of it you get paid no commission or anything paid in advance is owed back. What is the point in accepting the number! We should only accept it in month 3 if we are over 60%. Is there a difference!

Five former Dell Technologies employees have filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that poor oversight of its 401(k) retirement plan led to massive losses for workers. The complaint, filed on Jan. 28 in federal court in Austin, Texas, claims... — read more 

We shouldn't just roll over and accept this comp plan. If we refuse to sign off en masse, it forces leadership's hand. They can't ignore us if the whole sales unit stands together. It'll corner them into a rethink or frustrate them. We need to get... — read more

In response to the new compensation plan, we should all walk out and stop working until they review it. Let’s see how that goes for them. They can’t fire us all.

Is anyone following this? Reading the stories and seeing that data suggests that the DEI at Dell is the same or worse than Nike

With more than 20 direct reports per manager, it will be interesting to see how many merit increases are actually awarded this year. I suspect a lot of people won’t be thrilled.

Only sticking around to shove a 1 score on the 'would you recommend' question, something of which I've never done in my tears as it reflects badly on my direct leader. Given they are absent and chasing the same dreams we are, my head says who cares... — read more

I realize the USA is 30-40 years behind other countries in terms of protecting employee rights from abusive and unfair working conditions, but has anyone looked into the legality of this new comp plan? Is it even legal?

Seems like 99% of the posts are always sales related and/or ISG/CSG related... Does anybody else here NOT work for either of those BU's lol? Anybody in SRO maybe?

My guess is they will roll out a policy that says you HAVE to be IN office for at LEAST 3 or maybe even 4 hours/day but no longer than 4. I honestly don't think they will do an 8 hour in office type thing simply because the majority of competitors... — read more
