In a town hall he said something along the lines of "this next year will be just as hard as last, I can't do anything about your pay, but how often do you get to be part of such a big opportunity?" Does anyone have more details or confirmation he... — read more
Was it always like this?
In my eight months here, I've noticed that despite so many meetings, the collaboration is all but nonexistent. Some employees keep everything to themselves and don’t help the team grow, while others are just here temporarily before jumping to their... — read more
Boytcotting RTO
What's to keep employees from staying at home and boycotting RTO? My direct manager has worked from home the past 2 weeks with no explanation.
For those who get laid off, what's stopping one to just not return their computer/phone?
If I were to be laid off, I'd return them but unwillingly. I have 2 systems from Dell, a corporate phone, and a few other items issued to me. I know for a fact that Dell can simply de-activate your machine's access to VPN's and such and it wouldn't... — read more
I suspect that ISG Field Service will be all but eliminated by Mar 2026, in America.
Have seen a rapid increase of Unisys dispatches in all field areas, US. Looks as if the plan going forward will be to outsource all field service work to partners. Anyone have confirmation on the ongoing progress and planning for this? Is March... — read more
Worst part of the weekend....
Dreading the upcoming nonsense of the week ahead. More rush, rush, rush....more being overworked due to the slacking of others....more nannying and nagging by PMs who are more important in their own heads than they really are....more last minute bs... — read more
Dell underpays so severely, it's actually comical that anyvbody would want to work here.
At one point in time, Dell actually WAS a good place to work. They offered hybrid work, had amazing benefits and PTO, flexibility, and paid competitively. THey also offered RSU's to most people (IC's) and not just those who were already making... — read more
These HSK keys are so stupid
HSK = Hardware Security Key for those that don't know. It's a little USB type device with a fingerprint reader on the top that plugs into the USB-C port. It's quite small and VERY easily losable. Even though "technically" you aren't supposed to leave... — read more
Sept 2
I have heard this date mentioned, are there layoffs on that date ?
Can we talk about H1B
so, why is there so much H1B at Dell, or even in other countries, when there are a ton of US based workers that have been laid off. I thought the purpose of H1B is to use folks from other countries when there aren't enough qualified US people to do... — read more
are they still "monitoring" badge swipes?
this whole bs thing started in what, early March or so? I went in MAYBE 3 days/week but averaged out more like 1-2/week lol. I was told by my manager that I should probably start going in more to stay off a "list," so i did. I'd go swipe my badge and... — read more
Being ignored and ghosted all the time
It’s so difficult to communicate with each other. People ignore emails, Teams, ghost you in a middle of a Sev1 situation and what’s best is that there are zero consequences. And do I blame them? No. I just su-k it up. Because how can I? At least I... — read more
More work for fewer people and no end in sight
The team is stretched thin now that so many are gone. The people we lost had years of experience, and replacing that is not simple. New hires will need months of training while deadlines keep piling up. Everyone left is exhausted and it will only get... — read more
Why even ask if more layoffs are coming?
That’s just how it is - layoffs, all the time. We probably won’t even have to wait until next Friday, or Sept 2, or whatever date is floating around, to find out.
posts get taken down?
Why do I see posts on this site and then a few days later only be taken down and disappear?? I saw a post earlier about someone complaining taking kickbacks .. came here to see again and it’s gone. Is dell monitoring and deleting posts ?
Paranoid: Is this truly anonymous?
Wondering if anyone who has posted on here have had their post come back to haunt them? Have questions but don't want to ask them if it could come back to me...
Country to country movements
Could anyone tell me if country-to-country movements or applications for positions in other countries are currently blocked?
Why even bother putting people on PIPs?
We all know leadership’s goal is to cut us down to bare bones. Why waste time and energy on PIPs, ffs? Just to save a couple of bucks in a sea of layoffs?
Are Badge Swipes Being Monitored?
You can still see your badge swipe totals in workday, but is that even being monitored anymore?
Micromanaging rest breaks?
Reports about a pilot being performed in one of the satellite office with a relatively small number of employees. Toilets are now equipped with sensors to measure the amount of time employees are spending in the toilets. The sensors are reportedly... — read more
Food on cork site
Is the food on the cork site part of the forced wfr attempts. The standard of the food is frankly disgusting and the menu that gets sent out weekly is often incorrect. I've been thinking is the food designed to try to destroy our will and quit?
First ROE & I have only been here for a couple of months
I just got my first ROE violation. I have only been here a couple of months… It was a mistake since I didn’t see the opportunity. I’m scared because I am trying to learn, but at the same time there seems to be so many restrictions. Can I advance... — read more

Dell stock free fall
Dell stock is all in on being garbage. Hope you cashed out when you had the chance. The C level suite needs to look at actually improving the business instead of just the stock price.
Rumor mill: Is the OKC office closing?

Why no pin required to badge in 176?
Since the company can't even send a godda-n email letting us know, does anyone know why the badge readers at 176 stopped requiring a pin? Not that I'm complaining but I'm watching a bunch of buffoons still enter pins while it flashes red.
Workday was hacked
Since dell will never tell us this info on their own and will pretend it didnt happen..... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/hr-giant-workday-says-hackers-130410698.html
Why is ISG always hit so hard?
I'm not in ISG and apprently it doesn't stand for "Inside sales group" lol... But it seems like ISG is almost always hit with an iron fist EVERY layoff. Is it just so over saturated and over hired for? It feels like at this point, there shouldn't be... — read more

Still Hearing Rumored Mandatory 8-5 Workday In Office
Again, these are just rumors, and it doesn’t make sense considering we are a global company with customers all over the world and the 8 AM to 5 PM schedule is very antiquated. Plus the FAQs tell you to work with your manager on a flexible... — read more

Does Dell do anything innovative?
Serious question. What does Dell do that is actually innovative? I can't come up with anything
Layoff meeting
Hi everyone, I’m wondering how these layoff meetings usually work, as I’m afraid I might have mine this week. Were you able to ask any additional questions? Did you see it coming? And how long did the meeting last? Thanks
Working here has become frustrating
All the focus is on slashing costs instead of actually improving what we make. A few smart improvements could do more for the company than all these cuts. Leadership keeps missing the point and it shows.
Dell layoffs are like …
Hemorrhoids. Annoying and painful. Best to just remove it from your life.
