No security in our buildings
So we now let in people who have been WFR’d back into the building months after they’ve been let go. That’s genius. Thanks Dell for cutting security and making everyone feel super safe.
It’s no mystery why everyone’s leaving
Dell has changed so much in the last five years. It has turned into a train wreck where effort means nothing. Unless you want to play office politics, you're done. Anyone with options has already walked or is halfway out the door. Sticking around... — read more
Dell's brilliant marketing: copy Apple
This company can't innovate anything these days. Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max? Couldn't come up with even a synonym? This reeks of desperation chasing Apple. What happened to this company? Firing Allison Dew seems to have made marketing worse?!
Finally found another job
Still in the last stage of negotiations, but it’s locked. If I were laid off now, it would be a win-win. Be persistent, you’ll find something too. The new job is just a little bit better than this one, but I was willing to take anything just to be... — read more
Next Round of layoffs
Any rumors on Jan or Feb layoffs, or both?
Is it too early to volunteer to be laid off?
Just the thought of going back to work makes me feel sick to my stomach.
I've been robbed in my last Raise !! need your help
Hello guys Last year I didn't get a good raise and I think I've been robbed and with all that, i've worked harder than the last year this year and I don't know if I should talk with my manager for a bigger raise And since we're Anonymous ( if you... — read more
Dell is not great but a good company.
If you are at Dell then you aren't great either but just good enough.
All AI hype and fluff will drive me crazy
I have yet to see proof that it is anything but a bubble atm that will spray cr-p once it bursts in the near future. Far into the future? Sure, it will be a threat to our jobs. Until then, it will be just an euphemism for offshoring and cost cuts. In... — read more
Who wants to place a wager?
When will the first layoffs of 2025 hit? January? Second quarter? Or maybe not at all?
Compensation and work-life balance
Low pay combined with work-life imbalance and rigid RTO mandates creates a toxic mix that erodes employee satisfaction and loyalty. Employers need to balance these factors thoughtfully, recognizing that employees now expect not just fair pay but also... — read more
Dell's Big Shake-Up: 6,650 Jobs Cut as AI Takes the Helm
https://opentools.ai/news/dells-big-shake-up-6650-jobs-cut-as-ai-takes-the-helm
Which tactics they’ll use this year to make us go away on our own?
RTO is the obvious one. Continuing to keep teams short of critical roles is my personal favorite silent tactic, complementing the workload staying the same after half the team was laid off. Unrealistic goals? Continuous threat of layoffs? Pressure to... — read more
Full time onsite
Just got notified by my manager starting Monday, Channel is to be in office 5 days, 8 hours. Any other teams get this as well?
Let’s hear your predictions for 2025
Will things get better, or is Dell destined to keep spiraling downward?
Want to be able to leave already
This last round of layoffs and continued looming threat of being booted made me finally decide to leave Dell. I’ve been here for many years and I’m fed up. If only the job market was better. My resume is not bad at all, quite the contrary, and it... — read more
Conflict of interest?
Our VMware products have collapsed while msd had a 25% increase in net worth from the Broadcom purchase. Do you think our customers feel abandoned and should they team up against dell and ask for retribution?
What’s the point?
I work in finance. Regularly, people present wrong data in an inconsistent format. There’s numerous overlaps too, where multiple teams do the same reports in a slightly different format. How do people present wrong data with such confidence? I am... — read more
Delusional and way behind
Mike you think we laugh and play at your company? Are you serious? You provide zero services, the buildings are shot, you cut and cut and cut until there is nothing left. People are leaving because of the horrible culture you and your... — read more
I just hope to make it through March
Pickup my bonus and another RSU vesting. Then I would like to be on a WFR list
With all the H1B talk...
Were you ever curious about Dell's H1B engagement? https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=dell&job=&city=&year=all+years
I would wish us all a happy new year
But we all know it will get only worse. Next year seems like it will be the year of sc--wing over workers even more. What’s the plan? None. Just short-term profits. We, on top of everything else, work for a company that has nothing left to resort to... — read more
Tech worker movements grow as threats of RTO, AI loom
Other companies mandating RTO faced similar backlash from workers, who continued to question the logic driving the decision. One February study showed that RTO mandates don't make companies any more valuable but do make workers more miserable. And... — read more
More silent layoffs lately?
Hearing about groups here and there all the time. Small enough not to be noticed. Have you been seeing this as well? Way to keep us in a permanent state of heightened anxiety.
Why can't we get the whole week off for Christmas?
We sure need it, considering what this place has been putting us through lately.
curious, any talk about MBO percentage for this coming year?
curious, any talk about MBO percentage for this coming year?
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Life is short so do what you must to enjoy it with your family.
Leave this place behind for Christmas
Don’t think about work, don’t even consider doing any. Just focus on your family. With all the stress we’ve been under lately, every one of us deserves a day or two off, outside of the weekends, to unplug and forget Dell even exists. Merry Christmas... — read more
Hate this week in USA
Dell is my life and my family so this is the week which I do not like and think the company should get rid of it. I'd rather work this week and hang out with my colleagues. My house is big and empty at this time of year.
Spain team reduced
A few people given special Christmas bonus last week. All Services
Codeium
Why Codeium? Sorry, not directly connected to Layoffs but more a question of who should be laid off for this stupid decision? Does anyone know who actually decided on this POS plugin? Everyone who uses it hates it. It is less than useless and the... — read more
How much PTO are you loosing out on?
Stacked up about 7 days this year I've been unable to take. Constantly doing things outside and above my job description getting severely underpaid. Can't wait until I get a package to stage left exit this employer.
IT folks! What’s with the new software updates in PC?
3 mandatory refreshes in 3 days what the heck you guys loading on our PCs
Dell.. delay of adoption of AI pc is definitely delayed

RTO causes the loss of talent
I hope those who come up with such great organizational or cost-cutting ideas are aware of this fact. Or they don’t care. Any wholesale attrition strategy or layoffs by numbers chase away the most competent and skilled people or they simply cause... — read more
ISG SRM leaving??
heard a rumor today that SRM is being sold and everyone in the product being cut in dell. any one able to confirm the rumor?
Does anyone have any legit details on RTO for Remote Workers?
My leadership has all said if you are hybrid you must go in 5 days a week come January so I'm not even debating that here, it's old news in my org. What I am curious about are the workers we have who live in states with no office or closed down... — read more
