No, I am not on a PIP but was on my first run at Dell, lol. Fkn Pro support bro... If you get put on a PIP you are still expected to show up and do your job every day. If you choose to just not come in anymore then, they will just fire you - which... — read more 

Just got an email from dell saying I am no longer eligible for a mobile phone. I've been here over 10 years. Means nothing of course. Fu-k this company. I'm dusting off the resume

Although I'm selling - chunks at a time . Will exit entirely when it reaches early $140's. Dell is very well run - financially speaking - (trust in Michael) - but there's not much more short term upside to this stock at these P/E ratios.

Lots of redundancy and duplication in legacy EMC groups - specialists, engineers, sales, sales overlays. Will this ever be scaled and rationalized?

Ok i know people will automatically think im crazy here but needs must. The job market is terrible and i can sit and be bitter or take an opportunity presenting itself. I'm still within the year since departure though and its been suggested i would... — read more 

Every single Sunday, I feel sick to my stomach thinking of potential layoffs. No reprieve, even a week after we just had major cuts. How are we supposed to function in such an environment? How are we supposed to stay healthy? Or even sane? Is this... — read more 

Mark my word. The 5 day mandatory bs isn't working and Tell Dell clearly stated that. The building I report to has it's share of people in there but by 11-11:30am, the place empties out and is a ghost town lol. A lot of teams in the building I... — read more 

I haven't heard of anybody affected but I'm sure a handful were.

I started at Dell as an i6 in 2019 making 80k/year which I was pumped about at the time. 5.5/6 years later, I'm still an i6 but making 110k/year not including bonus. NOBODY on my team has been promoted in the time I've been on my team. Some of which... — read more

These CEOs are just not accountable anymore for their actions and the way they’re going able “preparing for the future” is just a load of sh!t. They’re preparing for two things. Putting more money in their pockets. Putting money in... — read more 

More of the same, or a fresh new twist on things being really bad?

I’m former EMC/Dell, left a few years ago, now working for a VAR.

There are two types. % $ Scenario 1: A certain number/% of people that need to go is given. This was the most common way to go before; "you need to identify the bottom 10% of your organization". Didn't matter if 100% did a good job, but at... — read more 

Is there any truth to the rumor that there is going to be a company wide pay cut? Seems unlikely... but I'm seeing it repeated here (and soon deleted from the forum, which is suspect)

In business, speed is important, but stability is priceless. When GTM structures and sales teams change every few months, here’s what happens: we lose precious time adapting instead of selling. Relationships crumble before they even start. 3... — read more 

Anyone know the pay range bands of I7, I8, and I9?

Let me give you an example: I was part of a tiny team—just six of us—pulling in over $30 million a year for the company. Then one day, out of nowhere, they decided to shut us down because upper management couldn’t figure out how to manage us. I’m not... — read more

If we lost a few teammates, can we say no when they try to saddle us with their work? Or are we automatically going to get fired? I've never did it before, but enough is enough, I think.

According to my manager on a regroup call after we lost several team members. Anyone have an iinkling or any intel on that?

February and August. That’s the rhythm now. Next big WFR? Count on it early 2026. Dell’s chasing that $$$1M revenue per 1000 employees stat like it’s gospel. Heard they’re planning 10%+ cuts per year through FY27. So yeah, this isn’t a bump. It’s a... — read more
