Dell technology strategy is very broken. The business units don’t talk to one another and end up tripping over each other in a fight to remain relevant - there is no unification. Every acquisition is butchered. VMware could have been amazing and... — read more 

Leadership have no clue and are completely inept. All decisions are now based on a Bain consulting playbook. Why? No accountability is required.. “the consultants told us to do it”. Which is ironic.. dell brought on chuck whitten from Bain and he... — read more 

Get out before your skillset is no longer pertinent. Best advice I could give you.

"Great H1", "amazing team", "working together", hahahaha who the fu-k do they think they are fooling. Looks like managers have been told to appear like they give a fu-k and care.

Heard from a HR exec that this years Tell Dell Employee Survey is worst on record. Also heard that the WFRs were reduced due to saleschat not being adequate yet. The culture is severely broken and VP/SVP leadership can’t be trusted, especially in... — read more 

Acquisition sales/presales…? Say goodbye

If you live super close to an office then just go badge in and go back home lol... But if you have damn near an hour commute? Find a medical issue you MIGHT have and have your manager submit a medical leave to HR for you. I genuinely did have back... — read more

My own opinion is that the 5 days/week RTO cr-p was implemented because the VP of Sales decided it was a "good idea" to do last August. Thanks buddy. Dell then decided to follow suit for a few reasons. A) They are paying a lot of rent, elec bills... — read more 

Who else was told to work from home on Monday? They must be worried about people making a scene.

For Dell and its employees. One Year from Now Dell will be cut to 1/8 of Market Cap and employees and customers will no longer have faith in anything Dell

Last round the people on my team got theirs around 6pm on Friday before. I’m hoping to get one this time.

Lord forbid while collaboating alone in the office, i need to use my phone for something and have this blazing fast LTE service 🙄 Only a m**ron would go on Dells WIFI on your personal device, so its like the year 2008 in here if you need to use... — read more 

I’m still at Dell, but it’s getting harder to feel good about it. I've noticed that layoffs have become so routine they barely make a ripple anymore. It’s like trimming headcount is now simply baked into the business plan. How can this work as a... — read more 

I really try to understand how we manage to promote folks which are on same level like junior dev elsewhere? No clue about dev tools known for 10years.. almost always with attitude I've tried nothing and I ran out of ideas.

Hi all, Does anyone know if you get paid on OTE OR base salary, I’m in sales and 30% of my sales is based on OTE?

I know first hand that folks in the ISG Sales and Pre-sales group in the US are getting laid off Friday and into Monday at the very least. This confirmed first hand via discussions from people in the south US regions (don't want to get too specific)... — read more 

It’s easy to become comfortable and risk-averse. Over time, you may start to rationalize staying despite knowing the culture or direction isn’t aligned with your values or goals.

Is next week the layoffs or later in the month

so, all I've seen so far are the folks coming in to the office are the ones being let go. In my group, we have a number of people remote and they have not been touched. We have some folks that are not remote but choose not to come into the office... — read more 

I keep hearing people talk about a NDA or MVK program, and was wondering if anyone knew any information about it?

Anyone know when IT is going to be hit? I've heard rumors of next week... but I've been hearing that for a year or so now.

Long term great employees let go today out of the Madrid office. All core sales as far as I can tell

If Dell Technologies were to transition to a channel-driven sales model as many of its competitors have, it could achieve significant benefits such as a dramatic reduction in headcount and improved profit margins. The company’s ongoing reliance on... — read more 

Cisco, Sun, Oracle and EMC^2. Those were the glorious days. We were powerful and felt invincible.

Just curious what orgs/BU's are the most likely to be affected by layoffs. Seems like it's consistently been Sales, Field Techs, and marketing? I have a good friend in SRO but she's said that they are almost never hit. Are they departments that... — read more 

I'm not in touch with my old team -- triggers my PTSD about how dreadful it was to work there, lol -- but I'm curious if Dell Blue still around. We cost Dell a fortune and turned out lackluster copy so I wouldn't be surprised if external agencies are... — read more 

Just curious, if you could work anywhere right now, where would it be? It used to be FAANG (or MAANG, whatever we’re calling it now), but that ship feels like it’s sailed... or maybe sunk. What companies are people actually aiming for these days? — read more

I'm not in sales or anywhere close to falling under that "umbrella" but, whenever I come here every few months to see "rumors" it's always about ISG or CSG or PS or other abbreviations I don't know. ISG and CSG I'm assuming means inside sales and... — read more

2009 was bad but it could be getting worse⁰

I heard it in hallways of PS3. People are still in shock digesting Dalvis leaving CSG PG.

so, as developers, we're being scolded for not using AI to its fullest potential. All we really have is Codeium in our IDE's. AI is new for some of us so we're willing to use it, but how...tell us how...tell us what you want. We ask for training... — read more
