I don't know if it’s the lack of challenging assignments, no recognition for work well done, or something else entirely, but it's obvious that so many of us are not happy at Dell anymore. I have to say when Sunday becomes stressful because it's the... — read more
Useless managers
Many feel that their manager is completely useless. Maybe Dell should do a survey on why such an opinion about managers is spread in this company. I think the answers to the question "why do you think your manager is useless" would be quite... — read more
What happened to morale at this place?
It is obvious that it is easier than ever to get another, better job and that is why no one is overly interested in doing their best here. This company really needs changes, because morale is worse than ever. I do not believe that anything other... — read more

Is anyone even making an effort to retain talent?
Feels like over 50% of my org left for new higher-paying jobs elsewhere within the last 6 months, and this is BEFORE the annual bonus payout opens the floodgates to more resignations that will likely take the remaining 50%. Has anyone heard of any... — read more
It’s sad to watch
It’s sad to watch… they treat the experienced employees like garbage til they quit or get laid off, and then fling complex projects that require years of experience at whatever unfortunate newbie fresh out of college is left. Then they get confused... — read more
Is anyone getting let go or are we safe?Any proof and what part country.
Hearing about jobs getting cut for month's now and just looking for proof?If we have large scale cuts just want to be ahead of the curve and get my applications out now.Why wait around.
Imagine what would happen if revenue was shrinking?
Revenue has been consistently increasing and we've been losing people to layoffs and seeing our benefits shrink despite it. Imagine what would happen if the revenue was instead going down. If things are as bad as they are for regular employees while... — read more
Sometimes I feel sorry for new hires
Throwing employees into the fire... I really don't know what to think about it. And Dell seems to be doing it constantly? I see young people who are very disappointed with the company right from the start because they were immediately assigned to... — read more
Learn from the past
From an average employee's point of view, Dell cannot afford to lose people. Indeed, it would be a debacle if those few remaining talented employees who are still there were to leave or get cut. However, when did our leadership ever make logical... — read more

IBP payout date vs termination
I have an offer from a different company and willing to take it. Dell's IBP bonus payout date is March 25th. I do not want to miss out on Bonus (it is 25% for my level :) .. why miss it ??? ). from HR link , "To earn Bonus payment, the member must... — read more
Digital Transformation
When I hear a company talking about digital transformation when they try to sell something I am yawning. This term Digital Transformation is a big turn off, it means the company is firmly anchored in the past, with aging workforce and lack of ideas... — read more
Letting talent walk away
The ELT is not thinking this through. They are letting people go without a second thought and some of them will be very difficult to replace. These people have the experience and rare skill sets that take quite some time to develop. I'm talking... — read more
Inside DCSEs coming back?
So who's getting laid off then?
Dpd Reorg?
I'm hearing of a reorg in dpd or s2. Anyone know anything??
I am hearing..
That Dell EMC at Hopkinton is paying off more than 15% yearly bonuses and have raised the salaries by more than 8% for the Engineers there. Is that true?
Can Dell still offer anything appealing to young talent?
This company is dangerously stuck in the past. Management pretends not to see it, but the company is crying out for young and talented people, who however are applying for Google or Facebook and don’t even think of applying here. Now I'm not even... — read more
When are merit increases?
I've been in technical sales over a year now and I've never gotten a "bonus" I hear others talk about. When do merit increases happen? Q1? March?
Where is the logic in that?
All those rumors about layoffs that are around the corner just don't make any sense to me. I don't understand why would a company lay off workers while at the same time being very short staffed. It goes against common sense but I guess at Dell... — read more
Dell keeps on taking away!
Laid off (WFR) and paying thousands for COBRA out of pocket. Once again Dell claws back! Beat the he-l out of us to use Virgin Pulse to get rewards. Went through weeks of recording stats only to get a mail yesterday saying it was a mistake and Dell... — read more
When will 2022 Dell layoffs start? Who will be affected?
What do you predict? I think it'll be end of March 2022, but I am not sure. What's your prediction.
I left after 23 years
I didn't have much trouble landing a new position that pays slightly better than Dell. This company is still a great reference that opens many doors. Rightfully or not, you decide. I admit it was scary leaving a place where I've spent more than two... — read more
I just got an offer from Dell in sales and strategy. Is it worth joining it?
I just got an offer from Dell in sales and strategy. I am worried about the layoff articles I have been reading here which makes me wonder if it's worth joining??
Any layoff news??
It's a new year and wondering if any rumors or news out there for 2022?
Now what can Dell sell off to cook the books now that VMWare is a done deal?
Dell downgraded at Evercore on limited upside after VMWare spinoff https://apple.news/AA57bEKFNSB-ykhoBCzrkUg
Can somebody tell me how the Glassdoor reputation scores are so easily manipulated?
Do you trust the company reputation scores which Glassdoor maintain and updates? I used to work for horribly managed company, it had the worst management I have seen in my 20+ years career as software engineer. The management was making absolutely... — read more
Reopening delayed again???
Will the reopening be delayed again due to omicron? Seems most companies are delaying.
Are we really underpaid compared to other big tech companies?
Damn this isn't a layoff post. But I'm curious, anybody have hard numbers on what we're making vs someone at another company in a like for like role?
Greetings to DELLers and EMC haters!
Guess what - EMC survives and soon will be resurrected! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79HFkkHzCpw
They can get away with anything
I'm curious, what does a manager need to do to get reprimanded at Dell, not to mention let go? I can tell you they can treat their direct reports like cr-p, including being verbally abusive towards them, and foster a toxic work environment and suffer... — read more
Unable to stop the attrition?

People here develop thick skin over time
I made the jump off that sinking ship a little while back. Because of the toxic work environment at Dell, my new position has been relatively easy. I did have to catch up on the new tech, but I am doing okay there. You don't know how sick the Dell... — read more
The great resignation
Forget layoffs, the resignations right now are high.
One ISG
I’ve finally quit after getting really bored. Over the past 2 years and since they started with the One ISG transformation, my workload dropped by 70% while I received 2 promotions for doing much less work. My colleagues and I were sitting idle most... — read more
Dell doesn’t strive for better, but it demands a lot from employees
It's interesting. While some are "forgiven" for their mediocrity here, others are asked for too much. The fact that some of us face unrealistic demands would be somehow acceptable if this was a company that also strived for the better. If we are... — read more
It's not good to stay here very long
Even if you are quite satisfied and feel safe (as much as possible), it is not good to stay here for more than two years. Otherwise, this is a place where you will slowly become less marketable because your skills will atrophy. I am talking from the... — read more
Which company is better - DELL or Microsoft?
I am considering job offers from both companies. I am software engineer and I am thinking to choose DELL. They say it is better and less stressful to work in it..
