Tell me again how American companies aren’t laying off American employees and replacing them with cheap foreign H1Bs. https://nationaltoday.com/us/tx/austin/news/2026/04/03/oracle-files-thousands-of-h-1b-visa-petitions-amid-mass-layoffs/

ISG Remotes: 4/6
Not like you were not warned.
Inspireless Awards
Theyre practically non existent these days.....were managers told to no longer give them? The points do add up for some decent things so im sure thats why theyve been mostly taken away now.

Dell not even a good target
Dell is so bad that Iran doesn’t even consider it a tech company worth targeting. HP got name dropped but Dell is nowhere to be found even though it has a significant presence in Israel... — read more
How does promotions work
I noticed most people on my team went up a “level” I got a tiny raise I thought I was performing well, and never had any complaints How does one level to another level promos work at Dell
New MB Leader
This guy can go back to wherever he came from. These new policies are id--tic.
RTO - Does anybody actually stay for more than a few hours?
ALL they care about are badge swipes. That's it. Swipe your badge and you get a gold star for "going to the office." But does anyone ACTUALLY stay for a full workday? I mean, I drive an hour to the office and stay for 1.5-2 hours and then go home... — read more
Got an email from our orgs President stating...
again, that it was a record breaking year last year and is so proud of all the hard work we put in to make that happen... Meanwhile, managers are given a tiny amount of money for raises and bonus's to spread around to 20 people. Some of whom got... — read more
Why dont we hire people from here?
Local American professionals are in surplus and jobless but we are paying more in visa fees instead of hiring people from here. Non-American managers prefer to hire non-American staff working here in the US, where Americans must be considered first... — read more
New info on project Mav
Soft launch has been delayed but insider information says we won’t have full scale until 2030.
ISG issues due to legacy EMC management not knowing the infrastructure business.
The server business was always more sticky and now is hugely more strategic than storage. Years of comp plans for lEMC sales focused on pushing unity, powerstore, powermax etc distracted from the real prize of owning the entire data centre. They... — read more
Something going right with AI
Makes me wonder if we shouldn’t replace a lot of C-suite employees with AI. This was in Fortune magazine. https://fortune.com/2026/03/30/dells-cfo-is-using-ai-agents-to-run-his-finance-team-and-has-helped-the-ai-business-go-from-0-to-25-billion/
Dell Derangement Syndrome (DDS)
A rare but rapidly spreading condition triggered when Michael Dell logs on, drops a “Go American” post, and starts sounding like he just got off a call with Donald Trump. Symptoms include: Immediate emotional spiral on internal boards Writing a... — read more
I'm so tired of all this
Peak combo of constant crises and steady decline, with the daily expectation of joblessness.
Do they even know what it is we do?
It feels like the people making decisions no longer have a clue what our work actually involves. We tell them what's broken and they just ignore it. They acknowledge our concerns and then do absolutely nothing about them. Why should I trust anything... — read more
Pride
I remember when being at Dell felt genuinely prestigious there was energy, momentum, and a strong sense of identity. Lately, it feels different. More like going through the motions than being part of something special.
Raises, promotions and bonus's were BS so might as well...
Milk Dell for money every way you can if they aren't gonna share the wealth of their supposedly "great" 2025 year in which they earned a record breaking 120+ BILLION dollars. Only to turn around and give minimal raises, no promotions and a pathetic... — read more
Bye Lousy Job
I never realized how hard the hours worked and weekend on calls were… not for me but my wife. She is fortunate enough to have a job that is pretty much 8-4 everyday. She never complained when, during the lockdown, about the times I was at my home... — read more
anyone heard of may layoffs ?
seems like it’s going to be a big number not sure if it’s just IT or everywhere
Only 1 reason why MD donated money
So he could be part of Trumps AI board. First, he took the knee, which is embarrassing for him and his company. Second, he just reaffirmed he’d do anything for a buck Finally, he showed what a greedy, money grubbing wh--e he is.
Fall of the traditional Dell server
Dell only cares about storage followed by AI servers, nothing else matters. The traditional server business has almost been destroyed and I am guessing that it will soon lose its number one standing in the industry. I am certain that Dell does not... — read more

Dell Ireland-3 offices too much?
There has been whispers for the last 18 months of at least one of the Irish sites closing to cut costs. But only one of them is actually owned (Limerick) and Cork still has manufacturing which leaves Dublin on the cutting block perhaps. Anyone else... — read more

Is it normal to not get Bonus after you resigned?
I recently resigned from Dell and serving notice period now. My Boss just told me that I won't be getting a Bonus. Not sure if it's the standard or my boss is just pi**ed because i resigned. Anyhow i got a better paying job outside.
Everything is a joke
You, your pay, your job, your identity, the concept of you ... it is all a joke. Don't take it too seriously.
Participants on this site are on the decline

The AI Dell Layoff Myth
Dell has almost played this to a perfect T and has given other tech companies a 100 percent effective road map to get rid of human capital. Does it really matter nope, what matters is Dell a 15 billion dollar company at best and it will look and act... — read more
Performance reviews are a joke
