how does Dell get away with never reporting how many people they have fired in the past 24 months and how do they get away with never reporting what the current headcount is? Are we at 110k employees? 100k? more/less ? Aren't there laws that... — read more

Dell can’t extend their business model to anything else but selling laptops and PCs. Look at Samsung, Sony, Hitachi, Apple, Microsoft. They all can get into other things. Not Dell. They tried the mobile phone market. Fail. They tried the... — read more 

Our manager keeps telling us to maintain a healthy work/life balance, yet more teammates keep leaving or getting laid off with no replacements in sight. How am I supposed to keep up with everything when I’m already juggling multiple roles? It’s... — read more 

December has started, somebody must know something.

I know a few people who were laid off but are now back working at Dell. How long do you have to wait after receiving severance before reapplying for a job here? It seems counterintuitive to pay someone to leave and then hire them back, but I guess it... — read more 

They’ll just lay off more people. They've been without any fresh ideas for a long time. It feels like everybody is overtaking us.

Has anyone seen this? Seems to be about 401k... https://bivens.plaintip.com/index.php/dell/?li_fat_id=89d5996e-1b7c-48c6-8e50-b92ed86a0e74

When I first joined, the job felt great, but over time, things started to spiral. The culture shifted, managers got harsher, and workloads exploded. Now, it barely resembles the place I signed up for, and people are bailing left and right. I can... — read more 

Sure it's going to take 7-8 years when all is said and done to complete it, and yeah it still won't be competitive with Cohesity, but we are all in on this thing!

Are there changes coming to the hybrid work policy, if so when and what are they

Need to double efforts on RTO. And more mentions of AI needed

As challenging as things are here at Dell, I daresay we are in a better situation than those unlucky ba----ds at VMware who are still desperately trying to hang on after the year-long bloody disaster at Broadcom. The grass isn't always greener... — read more 

What's with all the project managers at Dell that only schedule calls, mute themselves, and do little else. More importantly, how can I become one?

You don’t have to deal with bad treatment just for a paycheck. You all have the skills to find a better job somewhere else. It’s your call. You can either stay and put up with the abuse, or move on to something better. I truly believe everyone here... — read more 

Typically when it’s nearing WRF season, the BOTS get activated to increase the downvotes of all the posts.. just scroll down on all the posts and you will find this pattern to be common..

If you fail your coaching plan before being put on a PIP do they present you with any other options? US Based team.

I’m so excited to get 100+ emails this week telling us how thankful they are for our hard work, coming from people who are absolutely not thankful for us. Feel that stinging irony.

I've been through every phase of grief with the continuous years of layoffs, and I've finally reached the acceptance stage. I'm no longer letting this job control my emotions. I'm looking out for myself, using all my PTO, and scheduling all my doctor... — read more 

I don't work at Dell anymore so I cannot comment on how it is now, but the slide started long before EMC was acquired. MD had one really great idea - sell mass-customized products direct to the customer. Then someone decided that we should outsource... — read more

It’s typical the sales ISRs / AEs are let go towards end of quarter, for obvious reasons.. does anyone have any insight on December WFRs for non-sales / non frontline roles.?!

There will clearly be a link back as they monitor activity, but does anyone at Dell see who said what or does this sit with the 3rd party? No one believes Tell Dell is anything more than a tick in a box. Would the best Tell Dell feedback not be... — read more 

Dell was once a great place to work, what ki-led it? For me it was buying EMC. In my region, it's the legacy EMC peoples that got into management that changed Dell. Legacy Dell peoples were then let go. The company has been dying a slow death ever... — read more 

Anyone. Confirmation. How would that work?

There were rumors about more cuts next month, has there been anything new on it?

I figured there’s no point. We all expect some kind of decency, respect for our work, and the recognition of our results. It’s not happening, and it never will. With a very uncertain future and the axe swinging around our heads all the time, why... — read more 

I've been trying to make a strategic exit since the start of the year. The fact that I'm still here eleven months later speaks volumes about how well that's been working out for me. It's not just the job market. I did get one decent offer, but my... — read more

Great ethical leadership Mike and Jeff. Thanks again. Maybe if you did things ethically people would respect you. You should try that instead of being such slimes. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/dell-iron-bow-settle-charges-212327413.html

I’ve seen a large number of people on leave across geos and not just maternity leave is there that many people signed off on sick leave?

But at least I get to do work for everybody else who’s gone. It’s funny how getting rid of people is always about costs but literally never about workload, team structure and productivity. I guess the problem lies in the fact that smartly... — read more

Get ready to get let go this next year unless you are one of the many folks related to the managers or director. The family is safe but unfortunately none of them are the A team. Get ready for the worst PAM team that has ever existed.
