What's the IBP corporate bonus?
MDs email says all revenue and operating income Targets were met. Dividend increased by 18% - shouldn't all of this point towards a much better corp bonus?

Is Dell stalking us?!
Forgive my ignorance (not super techy), but is geo-fencing like legal stalking?! Is Dell really paying people to check where we all live and make sure we’re there all the time? I feel this is very much treating us like children. Will we be wearing... — read more

Q4 earnings
Any inside scoop? On track for rev?
Dell does’t have an inspired workforce
Organizations create loyal & productive employees by inspiring them. Inspired employees create loyal customers. The company is more concerned about micro managing to get “results” rather than inspiring.
Elonify the Dell Office Space
Maybe MD can convince Elon to invest in some cutting-edge coffee making robots for every Dell building. After all, we’re a tech company - shouldn’t we showcase the best of the best? Let’s create an environment that excites people and makes them want... — read more

Dell….not so much
Hoping to be let go
