Is it my observation or is this site heavily populated by Sales people?
How are people handling burnout on lean teams??????
Seriously? We keep losing people, the amount of work stays the same. Mgmt just keeps asking for more and I am at the point where giving up is the only option I have.
Mailing address question
Hi there, former employee for about 8 years. I got laid off last year. This might sound random but I want to send a former coworker a present, and I don’t have his home address. If I sent it to the RR1 office with his name, would it make it to him... — read more
May is going to be a bloodbath for a lot of Maverick folks
Layoffs happened last Monday. Not sure what the count was or what orgs were hit exactly but they happened. I know one person was in FED tech support, though. And a few other in I think SRO, whatever that org is. I'm sure ISG/CSG was hit like usual as... — read more
Maverick plan
I have heard there will be 1% layoffs with most groups exempt Anyone hear anything different ?
Presidents club
What are people hitting quota wise to go to club this year?
Technical expert = avoid layoffs ?
As much as there are reasons to complain and I have a lot of them myself, the flexibility I have working at Dell's data center teams is kind of amazing compared to my counterparts in GCP, OCI, AWS who work 50-80 hours. I mostly average 30 hours a... — read more
Don't bother being the best performer
It's always about the bottom line and nothing else. That's exactly how they keep bleeding skilled, competent, and experienced people. It solves immediate problems and protects leadership bonuses, sure, but long term it's a disaster. If they put any... — read more

Upcoming layoffs - confirmed
I have heard 1% will be met go with most groups exempt Anyone hear any different ?
Can they make it more obvious they target 50+ and high salaried for layoffs?
We all know it's illegal to discriminate against age, s-x, religion, bla bla bla for both hiring AND layoffs but, it's just blatantly obvious dell absolutely targets the 50+ crowd, those who are heavily tenured (15+ years) and those with too high of... — read more
I genuinely feel bad for those who are soon forced to use a half broken tool
The SUPER TOP SECRET ULTRA SECRET NDA project that everyone knows about called Maverick is getting close to it's official "roll out" live day and it's so far from ready that it's comical. Sadly, many of you - specifically sales, ISG/CSG - are going... — read more
What do you despise most about Dell?
For me, it’s the deeply ingrained pattern of poor leadership across the organization. Every company has its issues—I’ve seen that firsthand—but this is on an entirely different level. It’s not just a matter of inexperience or bad decisions. What’s... — read more
Think Twice Before Taking the Dell Survey This Year
Heads up, everyone. Dell has switched to a new survey vendor this year and there are serious concerns you should know about before you participate. First, the survey is not truly anonymous. This vendor has the ability to access individual responses... — read more
Dell lowered my salary with no context
I received a Workday notification stating my total compensation is reduced by x amount. Is this really happening
Don't quit until you have another job lined up
I know it's tempting, but IT jobs aren't as plentiful as they used to be. Not to mention lots of competition from so many laid off tech workers. Depending on your skills and age, it could take months finding something new.
Worst job at Dell, you go first
There’s a poll floating around what’s the worst job at Dell? Not lowest pay just the most thankless, grind it out, low impact role. The one nobody really wants to admit they’ve had.
What does it mean when people say everyone will be laid off except 1%?
Title. What do you mean by 1%?
New MB leadership is a sh-tface
EDay is new to MB and I’m 8 years in the MB division, this fruitbasket is a joke.
I am asked to post "team-journal" every day..
I am asked to post "team-journal" every day bullsh-t confluence posts on what i do. Apparently this is the "future" way, not real work, not real tasks. I got a massive AI slop task which look like epic, then i read it and half is hallucination... — read more
Can we stop with the last minute changes please?
My schedule gets flipped around constantly and I'm so tired of it. Meetings move all the time, deadlines jump forward, and it's messing with everything else in a way that makes my job much, much harder than it should be. Why the he-l is it so hard to... — read more
Stuck, Not Settled
Let’s be real nobody’s exactly waking up fired up to work at Dell these days. But with how tight and unpredictable the market is right now, a lot of us are still tethered to our roles whether we like it or not. It’s less about passion at the moment... — read more
Don't take the Tell Dell Survey
Don't take the Tell Dell survey. It's a waste of time. They manipulate the feedback anyway plus it's not anonymous. Too many stupid people at Dell who still think it's anonymous. It's not. There's a new survey called FU-K Dell! Take that one... — read more
I guess there were layoffs on Monday?
I know a few people who were hit - SRO, and Tech support - but anyone know more? What orgs were hit? Both were over 50 if that matters...
Tell Dell - Score either a 10 or 0
You've heard it every year, "if you don't give a perfect 10 then it might as well as be a 0", so take them up on this! I have given Dell a 0 for the past several years, in hopes it will bring change. Instead they continue with rolling layoffs, pay... — read more
$50B this year
How was your raise? Did you get a full share of the bonus? College kids coming in and making more than tenured workers who have earned their stripes. A useless Tell Dell coming Monday. Franklin is the leading revenue generating plant in the... — read more

Why toxic bosses stay and good employees leave
Let me tell you what really happens behind closed doors when you report your boss to their boss. You walk out thinking justice will be served. You finally speak up. You report the toxic behavior. You tell the truth. But higher up, they are not... — read more
Dell and Age Discrimination
Dell is the biggest offender of age discrimination in the industry. Everyone currently being laid off is over 40. Does anyone know someone currently being laid off who is under 40? I sure don't. Fu-K Dell!!
Su-ks
It really su-ks. All you do all day is lay on the couch watching TV drinking beer. Life is wonderful by the way. Learn to day trade stock options.
Im done over extending myself
Spent a year building something I was proud of. Brought someone in to collaborate, shared everything openly… only to watch it get slightly tweaked and presented as their idea to the team. This isn’t the first time. Just the latest reminder that... — read more
To lift our Spirits
What’s your favorite place to vacation? Your favorite island? Your favorite beach? If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go?
Sigh of relief
I had a last min 1:1 this morning and was told my last day is Friday. I thought I would be shocked, sad, angry but what I feel most is relief. Waiting for my paperwork - feels surreal.
ISG Needs an En--a
ISG needs a serious en--a, starting with the shitpile of incompetent leadership. I hope this week brings a long-needed cleaning house.
How to flip the script
Here's the thing. Dell isn't going to suddenly start caring about you. Accept that. Then use it. They offer education benefits? Max them out. Training programs? Sign up for every one. Tuition reimbursement? Take every dollar. Upgrade your skills as... — read more
Is PIP turning into the favorite attrition tactic?
Lately I've seen more and more people getting put on PIP, most with zero prior performance issues.
Can somebody please share their experience after quitting?
I've been asking around and stories I've been hearing about messy final paychecks make the exit process sound more stressful than it should be. I'm kind of hoping folks were exaggerating.
Dell Innovation
The only innovation is the ridiculous brand name changes and comp plan changes every quarter it seems
Oracle Files Thousands of H-1B Visa Petitions Amid Mass Layoffs
