RR5: what a garbage building.

What is the current separation package for Round Rock Texas?
Just checking to see if anyone knows what the current separation package is for US/Texas. I have no way to know right now if I'll get hit by WFR but I like to plan for it just for safe measure and knowing what the payout will be is helpful.
People are wrong about the rto
have heard that the 5 day thing is definitely for sales only and the other groups will remain on 3 days or remote Anyone hear different?
I can’t stand when anyone say
that we should be grateful for our jobs. We all are skilled people, and we shouldn’t be grateful to anyone for the opportunity to make them piles of money. That's a defeatist position which begs us to become submissive and not to look for our own... — read more
Dell is my family
I am in fear of these layoffs that are constant. I've invested 30 years of my life to Dell and see my colleagues as my real family. I don't have any life outside work as I'm married to the job. How could Dell get rid of somebody as loyal and invested... — read more

Loss of talent
How much more loss of talent do you think Dell can take? For years we've been seeing the best people shown the door during cuts. Some leave on their own. So much experience and institutional knowledge is gone by now that I'm genuinely worried about... — read more

I've been doing this wrong
After seeing who got laid off in the last round and who is still around, I'm determined to switch gears. I'm done working hard, I'll be working smart from now on. Why put in the work when all I need to do to be safe is kiss the right behinds? At... — read more
Staggered WFR is fu-k all for morale

Future of remote
Do remote workers have any future in dell, should they all switch to hybrid
Remember.. just because you RTO doesnt mean you're safe...
Just because you return BACK to the office, it wont absolutely keep you safe from any future WFR's. It will just mean you went back in AND they can still decide to let you go during the next round. Now that would su-k.
Got stuck in Dell for too long
I have been refusing to see how steep the decline has been and have hoped for things to improve, falsely believing it’s rather a cycle and not a downward spiral. I missed several opportunities to move on. I can’t know what would have happened in... — read more
