It’s not bad, but it’s nothing special either. Still, after months of searching for alternatives, it feels like a win. And I really, really need to leave Dell behind. This past year has been something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Fingers... — read more
Can’t sell raise price, the Dell way of business
Dell announced price increases for its commercial PCs, sparking worries about the potential impact on customer demand. The price hikes were reportedly driven by a shortage of memory components, with some estimates suggesting increases of up to 30%... — read more
Dell, AI and Tribal Knowledge
As much as Dell keeps talking about implement all aspects of AI, it is still the tribal knowledge dependent tech company I've ever worked at. It's what makes me believe that all the AI evangelicalism is mostly to push server and storage hardware. I... — read more
Still using Bain
Imagine all the money our SVPs and exec staff make and Bain still runs the company. A substantial number of decisions are all based off Bain recommendations. We could save millions upon millions of dollars if we got rid of most of our SVP layer... — read more
Same leaders new positions in ISG and CSG
Dell is just moving the deck chairs around in the titanic for 2026. We’ve got the same leaders in ISG and CSG but in new positions because they’ve either laid off or the other good leaders quit or moved into different roles. Now we are stuck with... — read more
Am I the only person who's actually mostly happy at Dell?
I have my complaints for sure but like, overall I have an amazing thing going for me. I have a great job that I genuinely enjoy but, realize I'm being paid less than market value. I have a fantastic team that I get along with very well and we are all... — read more
This is what Dell has resorted to
Laid off a year ago after being there 15 years (EMC brought into Dell). I had a larger quota (20-30 million a half but I will admit I was semi over paid compared to market averages)...but I was lucky and was immediately employed by a competitor a... — read more

How long di you have to work at Dell to get the extra PTO/Vacation hours?
Why is Dell still sponsoring H1bs?
I still have no clue why Dell is sponsoring and renewing H1b Visas while there is unprecedented unemployment in the tech sector right now. They should stop renewing any H1b Visas.
What am I doing wrong?
I’ve done everything people tell you to do, kept my skills current, paid for a professional resume, stayed active with networking, and kept applying consistently, yet I’m still sitting here with no offers after more than six months. The interviews I... — read more
Refresh those quotes!
Prices go up but your modifier goes down down down! Make less money and retire less quota with higher prices! Eat those costs right from your own wallet! Math doesn’t math in the world of Dell!
Merry Christmas
Hope all Dell workers and previous Dell workers have a wonderful XMAS. In 2026 you want to rid yourself of Dell and ensure you sell any Dell stock you might own...

When Brand Unification Becomes Brand Confusion: A Leadership Failure
Dell’s recent brand unification—and the apparent reversal back to older brands next year—stands as a textbook example of how not to manage brand strategy. Brand changes are expensive by design. They consume money, time, internal focus, and customer... — read more
The Dell culture.
The Dell culture has taken a turn for the absolute worst. I’ve never seen anything like it. They allow complete disrespect go unanswered by HR. Breed a toxic and narcissistic management environment. Allow for people to just sh!t all over each... — read more

Management are political pawns
Well if you are in management now at Dell you are just a political pawn. They’ve totally incapacitated you to make decisions on your own and actually drive any innovation. If you can get out you should, I don’t know anyone who just likes to make... — read more
Counting down to the holiday break
I know it's a little sad, but I am desperately looking forward to that week. It feels like the only thing getting me through this month. I don't even remember when this job started being so bad for my head. I just know it is.
Welp, merry Christmas to all and we survived another year of layoffs!
Until February...
Did the massive PC refresh happen yet?
The layoffs are the only thing you can count on at Dell!

Horrible Culture
I was laid off a few weeks ago, typically a very stressful blow to life in this economy and job market. When I got the news, the stress and anxiety drained from my body almost immediately leaving me with a sense of calm and relaxation I haven’t felt... — read more

Morale’s completely gone, and it’s awful
I used to enjoy working here, but that faded over a decade of slow decline. None of this happened suddenly like some people like to claim. It was a long and steady erosion from one bad decision after another. I miss the Dell that used to feel like a... — read more

Too many underperformers
Dell continues to keep employees who barely contribute, and I can't figure out why for the life of me. People coast through their jobs and still get the same pay and benefits as those of us working hard. Getting rid of actual low performers and... — read more
Layoffs Surge
Horrible economic news as layoffs surge to the highest point in years. The USA has laid off over a million people in 2025 and it’s only expected to get worse. These numbers could exceed what we have seen in the Great Depression. In November there... — read more
How companies actually hide age discrimination
They almost never say the quiet part out loud. They build a “paper trail” that makes it look like performance… even when the numbers don’t line up. Common plays: Inflate quotas to levels nobody in the territory has ever hit. Move accounts or... — read more
Rough Times at Dellmont High
Where PIPs lurk in the halls… waiting to swipe your livelihood.
PIP
I was told that I can be on PIP next q. If I am on PIP, does it stay on my history incase of looking for another job or for anything in future? Also, can I use my PTO while in PIP?
Dells next cost cutting strategy
Hearing chatter that Dell’s new cost-cutting strategy is quietly targeting s-xagenarians. For the board monitors - A s-xagenarian is just someone in their 60s. That’s the whole mystery.
PIPS coming for Sales.
This shady a-s company is looking to reduce headcount more and will find any reason to force people out. Look out for yourself and keep your eyes peeled for a new gig if you are able.
Artur goes wild...
