Haven't been impacted on the last round. Joined 3 years ago and saw my sales team go from 12 to 4 (myself included). During the consultation redundancy phase I got a new job 48% less but remote and in a tech company that has just become public 1k... — read more
Anyone is US sales impacted today?
Just wondering
Who in their right mind can be invested in their work here?
First, we have been going through a long period of layoffs. People have been on edge for months. Second, we have been losing people left and right. My team lost a good chunk of people, and it’s now a pure mess and unmanageable workload. Mgmt is, per... — read more
Tell Dell, again?
Has anybody received a mail saying "HI x-x, you've been selected to complete Tell Dell survey"? What is that supposed to mean as there was one already a shortwhile ago..
Does Dell make you repay signing bonus/relocation?
I received a sign on bonus & relocation from Dell. If I leave before 2 years, then I will technically owe a significant amount back. Does anyone know if Dell will chase you down for this or ignore it? I know some companies don’t.

Corporate Real Estate Bubble
A corporate real estate bubble could potentially cripple multiple economies. If office spaces remain largely unoccupied, it could lead to a significant drop in property values, affecting the commercial real estate market. This, in turn, could impact... — read more
Your job is not your life
It is just a job, I shall explain the reasons. Your company is not your family. Companies exist primarily for profit and are not responsible for your personal well being. Your colleagues are not your friends. Keep in mind people have their... — read more

Growth vs cuts
Any idea on when we'll finally start increasing profits once again by growing, instead of doing it by cutting costs (which is equivalent to cutting employees)? Asking for a friend.
More work, same pay
Our manager is pushing us to the limit every single day, constantly adding tasks until there aren’t enough hours to get everything done. At this point, I’m thinking if I’m going to be this overwhelmed and exhausted, I’d rather do it at a company that... — read more
Do you think it’s worth it to stick with Dell?
I’ve been here for more than ten years. It’s difficult to divorce from a company where you have spent a great chunk of your professional life and still have memories of actually enjoying your work. However, I don’t have any hopes Dell will recover... — read more
Do you think Jeff Clark or M Dell read this forum?
If so, do you think they just blow it off as malcontents or do they actually realize what a cr-p-show they have created?
News about the Seattle Lab
I heard that the lab in Seattle is closing. Is this true? Many people will be affected by this decision. What are your thoughts?
PIP and severance packages
I'm in sales, but this may apply to other departments too. If you get put on a PIP, and then do not hit your number or satisfy the PIP requirements and are let go, do you still get a severance package?
Our upper mgmt is terrible
The things our upper mgmt is worried about is foolish and they just make really poor decisions. Rolling things out like “Modern Dell” which is all about standardization but most of them at the upper mgmt level really don’t understand the... — read more
What was the last good thing your leader did for you?

I just don’t give a sh-t anymore
I stopped caring if I will be laid off. Months on end of the daily dose of anxiety on top of regular work-related stress just pushed me into complete indifference. I just come in now, do bare minimum, get my paycheck, and in the meantime make sure I... — read more
Closing Seattle Lab
Here’s something interesting I heard today from the higher management. They plan to close the Seattle Lab and relocate its operations to Durham. This is going to affect a lot of people so be prepared for another mass layoffs. Already started looking... — read more
Are the layoffs over ?
October was a very small cut and it's gone really quiet Are the layoffs over ? Is the RTO drama over ?
I’m just going through the motions
I don’t know what's going to happen first, me getting laid off or me managing to find something new, but in either case, I will be out of Dell. Knowing that there’s not much pushing me to give my best effort.
I was laid off but not trolling, be prepared for expensive Cobra
I have read about how laid off employees need to get on with their lives and not troll here. I got the zoom interview a few months ago, to be honest I was surprised, thought I was a good worker, I knew I was an older worker. Anyway, just a warning, I... — read more

Really? What exactly is Dell's IP for AI?
Overwhelmed and underappreciated
I genuinely love my job and I always strive to do my best. But it feels like Dell just doesn’t know when to stop piling on more work. The harder I push, the more they expect from me. It's getting to the point where it’s just too much. Are they... — read more

Hi folks. While at the midnight or-y my very high contact let slip some information I thought may be worth sharing. The news I’m about to share is both startling and absurd at the same time. I truly hate to be the bearer of bad news. The news she... — read more
Management is the real problem at Dell
You’ve got people in charge who aren’t qualified and don’t seem to give a damn. Instead of actually doing their jobs, they’re much more interested in playing office politics or watching golf at their desks. It’s obvious at every level, and it’s... — read more
Is a Private Equity buyout of Dell Technologies in the Works?
That's the only possibility in terms of another corporation or entity buying the company that makes sense to me. I figure it would be a leveraged buyout, but already has so much debt outstanding. BlackRock is obviously a likely candidate. But I... — read more

Louder for the people in the back

ARE THEY HIRING OR FIRING?
Has anyone noticed all the job reqs suddenly available in sales. They are hiring rep 3 and 4s. I don’t get it. Why let so many people go just to open up more reqs. What is the end game?
