Cyber is apparently being targeted, engineers across the board as well. Anyone else?

Dell needs to remove the “Technologies” part from their corporate name. In their executive staffing Dell has zero Technologists. I mean people who have spent time actually building technologies or systems not funding someone else to do it and... — read more 

We need to cut the BS and get to the point: We’ve all been let down by the few who took advantage of the situation. The data shows giving traditionally office-based sales employees a WFH option has hurt our metrics. A few bad apples is all it... — read more

Wondering if many have been successful in getting laid off, after asking for it, and how long it took to be actioned?

Check out this article: https://fortune.com/2024/10/11/ceo-leadership-management-strategy-big-birthday-crisis/ Explains why he's so determined to up his net worth at all costs. He's having a late-life crisis and bringing the company into it.

Not the whole company, but Dell's storage and A.I. technologies. Dell will keep the PC, servers/workstations and server/networking lines of businesses.

I wonder if we have one round of layoff each month or at least in each org? I heard Oct21 is the day but seems some folks got the email today! My manager told me they send their list one to two months prior to the notice day! and it is happening... — read more

Has anyone heard about this upcoming change?

How early do they send those invites? Are they still called "Business Update"? My manager doesn't seem concerned, which has me worried.

Was the CTIO office hit with layoffs and if not why? They produce zero dollars for the company. Literally nothing comes out of them that generates ideas or revenue. If you’re going to cut, that’s where you’d start.

I find it interesting that the website mentioned above state they track technology layoffs - except for Dell’s…. They have one listed for last Feb. but none since then. Thoughts?

With this DFS marriage with CFS and that "Dell Payment Solution" baby being born, any more poor souls from DFS gonna get their message to pack and leave soon?

How did Sudhir replace Paul Perez after accomplishing nothing when he led Future of IT? For that matter, how did Arthur Lewis get his role?

i have heard from the higher ups that there will be no change to the hybrid / remote policy and it will continue as normal

I do not think it will be easy to fire a remote employee when other hybrid employees in the same city do not go into the office because there is no local office. Some of these employees were told by management to select hybrid and other were told by... — read more

No talks of layoffs and no talks of RTO Are any of these actually happening ?

Anyone catch the Twilight Zone episode called Brain Center at Whipple's? Very similar to what's happening now at Dell, but the episode was from the 60's. Scary how close the storyline is.

Not alot of folks outside of RR knew about this, is was just for those luck folks at the MotherShip in RR. But today there was a town hall with a Q&A and someone asked about RTO. He basically said that when, even during COVID, was a mistake. Anyone... — read more

It’s high time everybody stops acting like Dell is the only place that’s changed in the last 10+ years. The world is not the same, other companies have adapted, and so have the people around us. Clinging to the past is a recipe for disaster. If you... — read more 

My manager did not bother to schedule my career conversation and is looking at me with a crying dog eyes. Should I be expecting WFR message soon?

I’m so taking it this time around. Dell has grown from a bad to now unbearable workplace.

Hearing this is coming back and all of Dell will be asked to RTO. Squeeze play.

Have any AEs been told to go into the office if you’re not visiting customers 4 times a week?
