It's not a "come to office or quit" mandate. Remote was offered to stem people quitting. It's comical. On one hand these same people are predicting massive layoffs every other week then the other hand is now switching to dell is too cheap to layoff. — read more 

I hear this argument and hate it for it's misinformation. It's not 2+2 math. Employees don't just up and quit thus saving severance. Good marketable employees take a few months to job hunt then quit. Bad employees take longer or just linger on... — read more 

"The Death of a Company - how to lose respect and a company with one bad decision"

With end-of-year evaluations coming up with your leaders soon, do they have any wiggle room to give you more than what they initially tell you your pay bump will be? If we’re moving to the office, can we leverage that as a point in our favor?

I spoke candidly with 10 present and former teammates and 8/10 were actually let down that they weren’t laid off at the start of this quarter. Do you feel the same? I honestly just want to hear from others still here, if you were layed off would it... — read more

Anyone figure out the answers to code game yet? I know we won’t know them all due to workshop

Based in Spain. We just received an email from HR, being excluding anyone from a promotion is considered discrimination. Hahaha JC, no wand waving on this side of the water! Your powers are worthless here!!

Yepppppp. Who is next?

Quiet quitting on the rise amid tech layoffs Dissatisfied high-tech employees could once easily move to another company, usually with a higher salary and perks. But today’s poor job market means that most ‘quietly quit’... — read more

I keep hearing that the Inside Sales WFR will start this week. Anyone have any credible information about when it starts? Or is it on hold because of the 100% debacle?

The big RTO drop was made. Now that it's been a week what are your thoughts?

Business insider reached out to me. Wanting to provide feedback on RTO and the WFR

This is so true with the way we are treated… https://youtu.be/3_fG_zLbBeU?si=1nCC0IYgy44wCbxc

I suspect this will be to the chagrin of dell upper mangement. And the hybrids should be happy with this news. They will get a legup for face time and promotions. So why all the vitriol directed to remotes? Jealousy? Envy you don't have the... — read more 

I notice that nearly all legit questions asked on this forum since the RTO announcement are getting downvoted to oblivion. Particularly the ones questioning the legality of Dells announcement. Is there a coordinated effort to silence us happening?

I am hearing Global Marketing All Hands was cancelled as Allison Dew was WFR in yesterday's executive meeting. Can someone confirm this news?

The remainder of the HR staff mist be flat out downvoting post's.

Anyone else noticed how these announcements on inside Dell have removed the comment feature? They truly don’t care. Last year they at least left comments as an option with the RTO announcement, now they’re silencing the voices of 130K employees to... — read more

I heard from a previous teammate that remote employees will be laid off next quarter. Not sure how many people will get laid off but it’s coming. It’s bs that remote workers can’t get a promotion going forward. Dell just wants remote employees to... — read more

Come to find out that RTO isn’t the same for everyone. In Hopkinton if you are senior Director or above reporting to an SVP you get an office that is a permanent location. Us peons need to scramble for space. Who makes these policies?!? Why... — read more 

Clearly Dell isn’t spending your money wisely. Laying off the workforce but keeping SVPs? We’ve got SVPs reporting to SVPs now. That makes zero sense. Return to office, which isn’t really the savviest or smartest thing to do in the midst of... — read more
