It’s pretty sad that when I look at my colleagues LinkedIn profiles and they’re looking for other jobs. I don’t see #Iwork4Dell anywhere.
A View From The War Room
Inside the war room the slide deck boasts a “leadership favourability” of seventy‑six while the same survey logs an employee net‑promoter score of thirty‑two. The gap is more than a statistic: it is proof that executives are measuring obedience, not... — read more
Train wreck
Don't the downvoting bots know that seeing a -74 vote comment only makes me want to look more?
Dell, Mental Health, and the Cost of Corporate Control
Dell is wrecking people’s mental health. It’s not the job, it’s the fear: reorgs with no warning, RTO used as a control tactic, and performance “feedback” that’s just a slow push to the door. People are anxious, exhausted, and pretending everything’s... — read more
Is Dell Performance-Managing You Out? Let’s Talk About It.
At Dell, layoffs don’t always look like layoffs. These days, it’s all about: • “Reorgs” • “Realignments” • And the classic: “We’re evolving the org to better support the business” But here’s what that often means in real... — read more
Dell Bots
It’s hilarious to see the Dell bots out there downvoting posts and comments that are negative to Dell! JC and the ELT are all huddled in a war-room & logging on to downvote!

Anything coming up ?
“It’s Just About RTO” – The Most Tone-Deaf Take Yet
On a call today, one of the Dell leaders casually brushed off the Tell Dell results, suggesting the feedback was “mostly about RTO.” That’s not just wrong it’s insultingly reductive. This isn’t just about RTO. It’s about compensation stagnation... — read more
Dell’s Survey Scores: Fear ≠ Satisfaction
Dell just posted a shiny +97 LeaderNPS like it’s some kind of leadership utopia. Let’s get real. These surveys aren’t anonymous. Everyone knows it. So people respond in a way that keeps them off a list - not because they’re actually happy with their... — read more

More Tell Dell fallout
Since the results were released I've been in three separate calls arranged by mgmt where we all get to be open and ask "hard" questions. My question is what's the point of doing a survey and then multiple follow up question sessions. Are we saying... — read more
Being sold
Something is happening in the next 12 months . Maybe being sold off like HP. Yes you heard it first right here
Disposable by Design
More and more employees feel like faceless numbers on a spreadsheet disposable, unheard, and undervalued. We’re not people anymore. We’re metrics, headcount, and “cost centers.” Performance reviews become algorithmic. Feedback loops close. And when... — read more
Top Issues at Dell
RTO backlash and morale nosedives Constant reorgs and disappearing promotions Being treated like headcount, not humans Any others?
Most Unhappy Roles at Dell
Technical Support & Customer Service • High stress, heavy customer pressure, low pay and poor job security. One voice noted: “As a support agent you face a constant barrage of customer abuse… Declining compensation, job security is very poor”... — read more
Keep the pressure on!

Cork seems to be thriving but Limerick & Dublin have lost their spark. There is definitely an air of uncertainty .
The interrogations will begin shortly
I’ve been here ten years and still can’t believe how obtuse some in management are. I used to enjoy this job, really and considered it for a long term career path at one time. But today, I received an invitation from someone I had never heard of... — read more
Delusional
How does Dell score 69% as recommendable to a friend and MD score 75% on Glassdoor! Every graduate should be told not to step inside the front door and look for something else.
A view from the outside
I left Dell EMC 2.5 years ago, after 25 years, right before the RTO started. I'm working now 100% remotely for a small company (~500 people). The work is 10 times harder and 100 times more satisfying. The pay is equivalent. Do I regret it? My... — read more
The Lost Culture
Dell hasn’t exactly built a culture that makes people excited to show up. The buildings feel outdated, the energy is flat, and whatever spark there used to be is long gone.
My Own Prison
They call it Return to Office, but it feels more like Return to Obedience. I went from thriving in autonomy to swiping a badge for appearances trading focus and flexibility for fluorescent lights and fake collaboration. It’s not a workplace anymore... — read more
Without solid raises and/or promotions, what's the incentive to stick around anymore?
For me, and I know this sounds ironic but it's not, it's my job security. My specific job in my specific org and the specific are of my org is so rarely touched by WFR because we are so small. I stick around for that but, I stick around because I... — read more
Are Benefit Survery Requests Signs Your Going To Be Part Of The Workforce Reduction

Not having luck in job search
Does anybody here use LinkedIn Premium? Is it worth the subscription? Is there anything as part of the package that could help with job search?
Promotions are being given to those overseas. Not to those in most of EU or even the USA..
Talked to one of our Sr. Directors last week and asked what's going on with promotions because, NOBODY is really getting promoted - company wide. She kinda laughed and said that because most managers very rarely give them during yearly... — read more

Why are we waiting for the “big cleanup”?
I don’t understand why we keep referring to “big cleanup” as if it’s a one-time event. We’ve been going through cleanup for a while now. What difference does it make anymore? There doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. At this point, I’m just hoping I... — read more
Firing Lots, Yet Hiring New Grads

Michael Dell said Meta's AI hiring spree could raise questions of fairness among employees
Maybe MD should worry more about the culture at his own company and not worry about what Meta is doing. https://www.businessinsider.com/dell-meta-ai-hiring-spree-raises-question-fairness-among-staff-2025-7
Are the layoffs over for now ?
Are they done? Any in August ?
What are our options?
It feels like there are no real ones left. Big tech has been cutting jobs for years, and the trend is only getting worse. The alternatives are unstable startups or trying to break into a new industry, which is much harder than it sounds. What's left... — read more
I’ve stopped taking any of this to heart
