Heard from a couple of folks that Dell is planning to re-buy VMware for a large amount. Any truth to it?

Micromanagement, badge tracking, and forced compliance don’t build trust—they break it. If remote work was successful, if morale was higher—then why are we now being told the opposite? We deserve honest answers. We deserve leadership that respects... — read more 

Hey All, I'm a highly motivated graduate engineer joining Dell. Heard lots of great things and some not so, especially in the last year or so. I'm highly ambitious and have a can-do attitude to do whatever it takes. Can anyone give estimates on... — read more 

Sick n tired of micromanagement. The building has sensors on the desks, doors, and even on the toilet seats to check how long u spend in there. R u srs?

Anyone know when the next round of engineering layoffs is and how big will it be ?

Accepted a new external job and have to go through a background check by Sterling. They are asking me for the badge ID of my reference because they said they couldn't verify the person (haven't reached out either). Person works at Dell. Anyone have... — read more 

Companies keep acting like hiring is some kind of charity case instead of an investment, and it shows. Not to mention, I keep wasting my time because every employer treats pay like a state secret. If salaries were even a little transparent, I... — read more

Anyone receive a survey from a company called Energage. They claim Dell asked them to gather data about how we feel about the company. It seems strange that anyone would authorize a survey on behalf if Dell so close to the TellDell survey. Security... — read more 

Funny to hear Dell ‘won’ this award again in the quarterly review. It’s an award you have to apply for, and it costs $15K in fees. Isn’t it ironic?

I'm really getting tired of this. If the end goal is to cut half the workforce, they should just do it all at once and leave whoever's left to work in peace. This constant stress is hurting our health and doing nothing for productivity. We need some... — read more 

Anyone hear similar? Or is it just hogwash?

With constant layoffs, office politics and zero innovation - Dell product quality has been declining over the past few years.

As managers are being demoted actively now and over the next few weeks, I presume they will lay off engineers also ?

With Fort Zero hitting the market Dell will have cornered zero trust. I expect a lot of hiring for that market line.

7 years ago this was supposed to be our answer to Dell causing DD to atrophy.

It’s exactly what’s playing out at Dell, and honestly, across a lot of legacy tech companies right now. They’ve maxed out the extraction model.    •   Fewer people, more work.    •   Stagnant pay, rising expectations.    •   Loyalty demanded, but... — read more

to Saudi? I thought Dell was all in with AI? step up your game MD and JC

He is scared a new HW tech startup from some dorm room will take over Dells position in the market in the next 5 years. He's trying to keep Dell relevant, leaning into consultative services to get respect like the KPMGs of the world. (",)

Dell outfitted their employees with cheapest health insurer they could find. Leave no penny unturned and always cut corners

Dell hasn’t led HR policies in years. They follow others. You may need Apple News or a WSJ acct to read this https://apple.news/AaadylOrQSlisIJ3bK5aNBQ

What’s the point of bringing in new hires when we’re all just waiting for the next round of layoffs? Makes zero sense. Feels like we’re just setting people up to fail.

There are still many many managers with only a few reports so none of the demotions to IC has happened yet Anyone know when this is to be completed?

Is anything happening?

Anybody able to use this to access their 401k before 59.5 years after being let go?
