Well, well, well, we told you JC that consumers hate "AI" in Dell laptops, after a year you finally admitted it. I wonder if this will be just an excuse for stock market why Dell is not performing as expected.

You stayed at dell to long and you working for a company like Dell never turns in anyone’s favor unlike if you worked for a company like tootsie roll who takes care of there people like family

All day today I was like "what to do: quiet quit or really quit without any job to move into??". I used to really love software and engineering before Dell. Now I think this is my first job where I really hate it, mainly because of our "great":... — read more

is the new policy now 8 hours a day, 5 days a week...no exception. https://www.thestreet.com/employment/dell-issues-stern-message-after-employees-violate-new-work-policy

I know it’s continuous but there are 2-3 times a year where there’s a bulk cull. Any rumors or info on the Jan/Feb date?

I went back to work a few months ago, and what I’ve seen is heartbreaking and infuriating. Most of the team is gone, and the way it happened is outright unethical. The best people were put on PIPs and eliminated. How? Simple: the harder you work, the... — read more 

Does somebody know why the stock keeps falling and the market cap keeps shrinking? Isn't DELL the main benefactor of the ongoing AI expansion and AI factories demand? Something else seems to be going on here..

I am long gone from Dell, but i want to wish everyone who's left there a Happy New Year and a lot of hope in 2026.

Layoff season is upon us - larger layoff season anyways - so who do we have bets on this round? ISG/CSG again? IT? Tech Support? Sales? Realistically it's never "all" departments unless you count 1 or maybe 2 people...

And I am already cringing about going in the office tomorrow. Such a depressing place to work..

i was part of the old EMC Corp before it merged with DELL. It had nasty culture of its own so I do not think DELL is some unusual company in that regard. At EMC there was a distinct bro and ol' boys club culture + substantial bias emanating mainly... — read more 

With BS out, another org shake-up to cut spans and layers is unavoidable. A wave of senior exits is being politely labeled retirement, but it’s really a reset. And while leadership churns, IDC’s forecast is inflating expectations.. numbers will... — read more 

Apparently, things aren't all bubble gum an unicorns at Dell. Dell faces margin pressure as surging DRAM prices and constrained supply inflate production costs for both server and consumer segments. DELL's ISG and CSG margins are declining, with... — read more 

How can a company genuinely expect employees to be happy, productive, or incintivised to do a good job when nobody feels safe from having their job taken away at a moments notice? Or when promotions are MIA and raises are comical?

I was an account executive in Dells 3rd party software group. Been with Dell over 22 years not sure what comes next at my age

Crazy thing is it didn't used to be this way. In the days of yore when we were all happily remote little worker bees, we were content if not happy. Dell felt like a people-focused organization, at the very least. We were given latitude to do our own... — read more 

Am I the only one who feels we have too many reviews in Dell? Weekly reviews, monthly reviews, adhoc reviews, quarterly reviews....we seem to review more than actually do the work that can be reviewed. I get the feeling that too many SVPs and VPs... — read more 

I’m definitely betting on more PIPs, setting up for it by completely unrealistic expectations, and most likely RTO as the now well-tested way to push people out.

Last year they flattened the mid management and forced most managers into a PM role, which made all of us be under some random new manager. They implemented a 5 day RTO policy and are treating us like children by monitoring badge swipes They... — read more 

Everyone’s miserable at Dell. They come here looking for meaning, but all they find is confirmation of how trapped they are.

Dell mandated the 5 day RTO for multiple reasons but one of them I think is because they have a plan and that plan is to use it to let go a LOT of people who either never abided by that policy, OR didn't go in enough/quarter. Which technically... — read more 

I dont know where Dell is trying to go or what their "plan" is but, I feel like at this point people are just doing the best/minimum they can simply to keep their job - considering the consistent, constant, and year round layoffs they've had for the... — read more 

Should Dell be included? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlhrhhcLlaI

I am curious how many others at Dell are experiencing a growing sense of disconnection from leadership, from managers, and from the company as a whole. In many areas, there appears to be little meaningful work, limited direction, and minimal... — read more 

Being away for a week only made me realize how miserable I am at Dell. I know I'll be tripling my job search efforts in the new year.

About to start a new job, with a significant raise, at a tech company, doing work that will actually be seen. Just know it’s possible to escape, to land on your feet if you get laid off in the new year, and to redefine yourself after several years... — read more 

Big internal programs like this almost always arrive wrapped in promise and land in phases, pilots, exceptions, “next wave.” Especially at Dell Technologies scale. Even when the intent is real, gravity is real too. What tends to happen in... — read more 

I wish all of us the opportunity to leave Dell and find better roles in better environments. Staying on a sinking ship only wears us down. Here’s to finding workplaces that value and support us.

Nothing to really look forward to in 2026. You will have a company looking to layoff all year and Dell financials will look to suffer in tightening margin pressures against Dell. Ho Ho Ho Merry XMAS

You know how they say “it’s a blessing in disguise”? That’s what a layoff at Dell is. It’s a blessing actually. If you want actual work, growth, no-nonsense culture, it’s better to run away from Dell. Recently I joined a new company after my layoff... — read more 

I am over 55. If I leave Dell by layoff or my own decision, will I be able to choose whether I an withdraw from Fidelity's traditional 401k or the Roth? Or do they just have one bucket split proportionally?

I live in Massachusetts and I am considering applying for AI/ML job in their Hopkinton campus (or Franklin one). I expected at least $250K total annual compensation. Can Dell provide me and Engineering job with such salary in MA?

I have been trying to decide which job offer to accept and have been using this forum to try and understand salary structure and promotion opportunity. From what I can see, it seems like once you accept a job at Dell you are stuck with minimal pay... — read more 

Every year, I am told - by a series of different managers - that you have to be an I10 to get RSUs. Is this true? Anyone receive RSU grants below I10?

what is latest head count at dell now? If possible breakup will help?

Looks like the next few months are going to be a slow-motion collapse. Leadership might bail, CSG will keep bleeding out, and the AI server sugar high won’t last. When the bubble pops, the stock could crater below 70. RevOps won’t save us, and the... — read more
