Did anyone notice they were playing “Take My Breath Away” from Top G-n before AND after the DT Services town hall? What an interesting choice of a soundtrack that has a direct connection to a movie and a certain project. Or that was just an amazing... — read more

UK pension fund choice
Has anyone in the UK changed their Aptia fund from the default Dell Growth Portfolio? There must be some more diverse better performing funds we can choose? Recommendations appreciated!
DT Services Town Hall: a concentration of bs and sociopaths
I attended the DT Services Town Hall today. I'll be honest: I felt embarrassed, and every day I can't understand how they can say such things without bursting out laughing. I draw a veil over the comment regarding the Tell Dell results. I hope these... — read more
Not going to be in management anymore
I stepped out of my management position and took an IC role at the same level. Using managers the way that Dell wants to use them just doesn’t align with my ethics and career goals. You aren’t really doing any productive, laying off people left and... — read more
Why should I keep busting my back when half my team can’t even pull their weight?
It’s exhausting watching people coast while the rest of us scramble to get things done. Every project ends up feeling like a fight, not just against the actual work, but against all the nonsense that comes with covering for others. And then to see... — read more
20% salary adjustments across the board
Looks like health care has pushed the company over the line.,So if true… 20% salary cuts at all levels will beat the open and margin targets even considering the Free fall. Hold on and giddy up if you work at DT.
ORCL. wow
MD and JC : we need more AI mentions.
Why are Senior Executives being held accountable?
So many strategic mistakes, so much waste and loss, and yet nobody is holding senior execs responsible or accountable? Why is this the case?
12 Billion AI Server Backlog
So is this a lie as well? The fact that the CFO is gone, there is no 12 billion XE servers backlog, otherwise they wouldn’t have left. Those who work in sales, are you selling the PowerEdge XE servers like hot cakes or not?
Just Got My Notice
Although I shouldn't be surprised, I was. I received the out of cycle 1x1 and was notified yesterday that my role was being eliminated and that my last day was this week. I'm not here to complain, point fingers, or play victim. But want people to... — read more
MD represents everything that is wrong with America
He just does. He’s a greedy, sniveling little kiss a$$ that would do anything for a buck. He has no problem taking away people’s livelihoods to make his better. Think about the thousands he’s laid off to only put that money in his pocket. His... — read more
Another SEC investigation coming
Seems like Dell is being investigated for the same thing they did in 2010
To the Directors
Does it ever leave a bad taste in your mouth having to tow the BS line poured down from above. "I'm excited...", "we are all in...." We all know it's nonsense
These effing laptops
Ok, so not a layoff post but a rant. Why is it almost every morning my laptop has rebooted due to mandatory updates and every file I had opened is a "recovered" file I have to overwrite to rename. I work in finance so have loads of Excel SS open and... — read more
Another C-Suite lady bites the dust??
When I was there a few years ago and their Northstar goal was 50% women in c-suite by 2030. A few years later and almost all the women in c-suite are gone and now the female CFO resigns. What is going on?
Tshirts just arrived

The books are cooked
Based on today’s announcement
What is the end game with Dell?
Was there 26.5 years and was WFD a few months ago at 60... but it changed for the worse 5 years ago.. wtf happened?
Here we go again
Another Sunday, another set of questions about cuts. Remember when we could go months without somebody asking whether there'll be layoffs next week? Good times.
Nashville Visit
So why do you guys think that Bill and his motly crew are going to be in nashville this week?
Milk em dry while you can... No reason not to
Not just medical, dental, vision but everything else as well. Who knows when you will be let go so might as well milk them for every penny you can. Go request training courses, go spend the $500 we get per year on "health equipment" or whatever tf... — read more

Michael Dell is an A**hole
He’s directly responsible for what’s going on in Dell for the past 3-5 years with these aggressive layoffs.
Trump’s Tech Meeting
Why was MD not at that tech meeting? So that he could avoid the question of how much money he’s going to invest in The US and how many jobs he’s planning on creating? Because the answer is India? Both Zuck and Cook are investing 600 billion each.
Cairo office / ISG to be shut..
Got wind from AMER manager that its apparantly got to do with the minimum wage increase introduced by Egyptian government back in March of this year. Anyone else heard anything?
Have ads made this forum impossible to read?
I’m on an iPhone and the background ads don’t go away and totally obscure most reply posts on this forum. It makes it impossible to read at times.

Now that another round is done
Is anybody else already thinking about when we'll learn about more layoffs?
Dell vs Tootsie Roll
Dell has 800k employees current and past that would never return to work for dell. Tootsie roll has never laid off its family and it workers don’t leave
The company couldn’t be less modern
I think the government is more modern than Dell. The initiatives they drive to modernize are basic engineering practices that our management rejects, because our management teams at the SVP level and up have no idea about technologies or industry... — read more
All about taxes
Yep. A $25M office renovation in round rock. Totally unnecessary while they’re laying off thousands of people. https://www.statesman.com/business/technology/article/dell-technologies-round-rock-hq-expansion-25m-21026546.php But they want you... — read more
Success stories, please.
Really feeling down about not getting any offers for months now since Dell laid me off, severance and unemployment running low. I’d love to hear some success stories from anyone laid off this year that got new roles they’re happy with.
