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.

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

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

Has anyone got any news or information on the Dublin office? Any particular reason Steve Young was over today? Hearing a lot of rumours on them closing or downsizing Dublin.

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

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.

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 

Next week will be rough

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

Louder for the people in the back
