Thought I had real friends at Dell, until I left. Six months of nothing but silence, and in the last few weeks, suddenly everybody's blowing up my phone for job leads. Do you guys really think you'll get a positive response if you treat somebody as... — read more
Watching the quartely
Does anyone remember a time when the quarterly meetings were live and informative and not a well-rehearsed infomercial? I watched it and saw that senior management (the term leadership no longer applies) had a great time and we’re supposed to be... — read more
Tell Dell results are unofficially out!
Tell Dell results are out, unofficially. eNPS score has taken solid beating. Down by about 20%. “Leaders” aren’t pleased. Watch out for officials results next week.
I’d take a buyout without thinking twice
Why don’t they actually offer us one?
Aligning for the Future
My guess is: starting in FY27, the organization aims to operate with a leaner structure. This transformation will be supported by the implementation of AI tools, a flatter organizational hierarchy, a 1:20 manager-to-team ratio, and the completion of... — read more

One team moved to india
Things got really bad all of a sudden at work. I can understand the technical problems after taking it over. But playing word games and not following through on promises is a totally different story.
Interesting read on the Back to Office Policy

#Iwork4Dell
Speaking of rumors, has anyone else heard that recruiters are scouring SM sites like LinkedIn for people who have posted in the past using the #IWork4Dell tags? It seems that way to me.
Tell Dell... In person!?
Some colleagues have been selected to "hold early team conversations" in person about what works and what doesn't. It's informal and no names will be captured. Bwhahahaha Given Tell Dell is hardly anonymous this in person affair will be interesting... — read more
The whole team should get wiped out
I once ever saw a powerBI report that basically was a screenshot of an excel file. Truly innovative and above reproach.
I’ve recently moved on
It’s a lower-paying job, but also far less stressful. There are no layoffs in sight (at least for now), but more importantly - there’s no constant collective anxiety. I don’t know how it will all work out in the end, but God, just the change of... — read more

Section 174
Section 174 is a tax rule... It used to let companies deduct all of their R&D costs in the same year they spent the money…. That included salaries for enginers, software tools, and product development… back In 2022, the rule changed. Now companies... — read more
To every manager and leader reading this
You’re either part of the solution supporting people over power, or you’ve become a gatekeeper for a system that’s slowly ki-ling them. Some of you know it’s wrong. You see the fear, the burnout, the quiet quitting. But instead of standing up, you... — read more

Coffee Badging

This Isn’t Leadership. It’s Control.
People are waking up. Waking up to the illusion of corporate success. Waking up to fake check-ins, to tone-deaf managers, to “leaders” who can’t even lead themselves, let alone their homes. Waking up to the fact that we were never made to survive... — read more
You can judge leaders by who they hire
The best want challengers who make them better. The insecure build echo chambers of yes-men. Guess which type we have?
Exhausted with False Sense of Support

That is when maverick “disrupts” and makes half of us or more jobless. Can’t go to other companies cause they will be reducing their workforce too. What career switch are you planning?
Reposting for visability

This is a cry from the heart.

I've been thinking about our hiring strategy a lot lately
When we consistently offer bottom-tier wages, we shouldn't be surprised when we get bottom-tier candidates. The constant turnover and performance issues actually cost us more in the long run than paying competitive rates would. I've seen great team... — read more

Dell stock plummets
LoL. No one is buying your fake AI grift. for sure next quarter blockbuster sales. for sure. FYI: they only forecasted higher ONE quarter. Not the rest of the year. Let that sink in.
Ok, when will MD wise up
And bring back Sudhir. Can’t MD see that Sudhir is the solution to all of Dell’s woes? MD wants AI…Sudhir practically invented AI!
5% layoff in June
i have firm news that 5% cuts are going to happen around the June timeframe. Dell is going to credit AI for making it happen. Both ISG and CSG will be impacted—the bottom 5%! Journey to make Dell lean continues! Good luck everyone!
