Where is the accountability for allowing EMc’s once market leading storage products to wither and rot on the vine?
Of course - not all badge swipes are being reflected
If we’re forced in five days and tracked, make sure your badging works!! Went in five days, only four reflected. Not my job to send emails to facilities that yet another reader is broken. Make sure they work!!!
Please participate in Tell Dell
If people don’t participate in tell Dell then the management will continue to keep going forward thinking they’re doing a good job. Give bad ratings as bad as you can give - even if the questions have response choices like; How do like working at... — read more
Okay so badge in time doesn't seem to matter
I did a constant 11am-1pm badge in time last week. My badge count is 5 for last week as of this morning. At least that is good for parents who need to tend to their children or people with other commitments and then drive to work. Still - remote... — read more
RTO 5 days is ki-ling me
I was able to do my own thing during COVID and RTO 3 days could be played but RTO 5 days is ki-ling me. I could do my wood working during Teams calls but now my manager is making core hours we must be onsite. I just want to be left alone so that I... — read more
Working at Dell is like working on the severed floor
If you watch severance you’ll get this. If you don’t well google it. Working at Dell is like working on the Severed floor at Lumon. It’s incredibly non-technical, nobody knows what’s going on, the leadership keeps you in the dark and is terrible... — read more
Dell Ireland
Anyone else slightly concerned with the Irish Taoiseach having a meeting with MD in Dell HQ this week? Or is it just ptsd from what happened in Limerick in 2009 setting in?
Zero motivation
Am I the only one who's lost all motivation since the five-day RTO kicked in? Not only do I not feel like going in, I don’t feel like working at all. Tasks that used to take 15 minutes now take an hour. And this is just the beginning! I’ve never felt... — read more

Annual review and hikes
Did anyone from ISG FSDS get their annual compensation reviews done? Or atleast had performance reviews talks done with their manager? How much was the hike? Since it seems ISG is hiring and it did well this year.

What was everyone's experience this week
Was the first week of five day RTO as bad as people thought? What was your experience on a serious level. Seemed more like pre covid in Hopkinton. I've seen a few in my group not make the 5 days, not sure what will happen to them. I'm curious to... — read more
Frustrations
Really frustrated with the direction my direct managers and directors are taking. It’s one thing to make mistakes—everyone does—but when there’s a pattern of poor decision-making with zero accountability, it starts to feel like a never-ending cycle... — read more
70-80 HOURS WORK WEEKS
As someone who is in finance at dell as first job, I find that many people work long punishing hours with frequent night calls, and work weekends. If you are awake you are working. And it’s because of many MANUAL WORK FLOWS, MANUAL DATA ENTRY, and... — read more
Dell Culture
How does Dell realistically fix the culture?
At what stock price will JC be fired?
How low does it need to get before we see his “I am leaving to spend more time with my family” schtick?
Quit or Wait?
At 60 and fed up, not sure if I should just call it quits after the bonus or hang on a few months for a possible layoff? If I do leave, my position will only be opened up in India so I'm not really taking a position away from a US worker.
Leadership
Anyone paying attention knows this company is not in good shape, the worse it has been. Seriously, when do the shareholders question the leadership at the very top?
Boeing Cancelling Dell Contract
I am hearing rumblings that Boeing is cancelling the Dell IT contract and going "in another direction". Anyone else know anything about this? Take Care.
Buzzwords and Benefits: The Quiet Art of Seeming Essential Without Effort

SRO & 2-Weeks
Does anyone know how likely HR/SRO is to accept and let an employee finish out a notice period? Looking to leave right after bonuses
There is no grand plan, this is just incompetence
Michael and Jeff aren’t executing some grand strategy to rescue the company or drive profits. The reality is, they’re completely lost. Last year, Jeff told his team they were about to go all-in to push the stock to $200, no matter what it... — read more

Badge in and leave
Anyone know how they are monitoring this? I figure I can spend 3hrs driving in the morning and then start my day when I get home. Nobody from my team is there.
Can someone help my manager?
I down tools every day at 5pm. I used to take late calls but now my laptop stays in the office. My manager is asking me to be flexible. My home isn't considered a suitable place to work from any more. Has anyone got any solutions? She's very... — read more

Is it time to share RTO story time publicly?
Seriously, we need to get some of this ridiculous nonsense out there. Anonymously. Anyone got a friendly neighbour who’s a journalist? Dead serious over here.
Dirty Badger
I’m noticing a lot of tailgating in RR1, which poses serious security risks. Please badge in individually and avoid compromising security. Let’s all do our part, don’t be a “dirty badger.”
3 days in the office in 2024
Did anybody get fired due to not meeting the magic numbers? Was it HR driven or did your manager hold the door open for you? Anybody?
Site visits are on the decline
The activity on this board seems to be slowing down. However, it would be premature to say its popularity has declined. I see two factors at play: People are drained after a long day at work and the commute to the office. They’ve resigned... — read more
