If your name is picked for layoffs, can you ask if you can get some time to try out applications for other teams ? I know that FAANG has this policy. Curious if Dell does too. This might help those who cannot get jobs elsewhere or might not want... — read more 

Pretty amusing that dozens of posts that mention this organization, people’s horrid experiences, and its horrendous leadership have been deleted from this anonymous “safe space”.

Frankly, the company's vacillating leadership has created nothing short of an entropic mess. Directives are obfuscated, priorities shift without warning, and any semblance of institutional cohesion has quietly dissipated. The trajectory, at its core... — read more 

I'm curious what my raise will be this year considering that my group was moved to a director who has been MIA for the last year - minus his 5-7 minute 1x1s with everyone. No clue what we actually do, no idea what each individual does. The only info... — read more 

What Dell has done for me in working for them for over a decade is realize I never want a job again where I need to “be innovated”, “find new solutions”, “help with testing”, “create processes” or anything “above and beyond”. Because that has been... — read more 

That's the only strategy we need. And yes, fire everyone at the top, replace them with a bot that will help people build better and sell more laptops. That's it, a McKinsey masterpiece in two sentences. You can thank me later.

Looks like last year was a very good year. Bonus should be good this year, cannot wait. RTO is working. Thank you all for doing the needful.

Everybody knows it. Continuous layoffs. Plummeting stock price. Customers pulling Dell footprint. No innovation. No enterprise solution portfolio worh a sh-t. Quality hemoraging. Support on life support. Clueless leadership. No AI relevance. Just... — read more 

Dell has changed, they are no longer the company we once knew and loved. When a system shifts risk to employees, the experience changes and the job starts to su-k more. Stress becomes structural, not situational The math starts working against... — read more 

Yes, I know it's been a year and change but it's pointless for some of us. I get the RTO for certain teams I suppose but for those who are on teams/orgs that are literally GLOBAL it makes zero sense. I drive an hour to work daily only to... — read more

Dell is meant to be broken in the stock market. Everything feels like a Dell crash

Dell same ole lines used in the last two conf calls to avoid the stock crashing. Dell is a 15 billion dollar company at best. Bears eat

Let's prove it, shall we? For those of you who have seen layoffs in your groups and orgs over the past year+, what percentage of those WFRs would you say were over 40?

I read somewhere that layoffs fall into different categories depending on the reason. Like head count cuts target lower performers, budget cuts go after expensive but replaceable people, and big tech rounds are more about politics. Division closures... — read more 

Apparently it's a 60% quota and if you don't hit that then you don't get commission. If you get it - specifically 100+ then you get paid a LOT So what was it prior?

Last Spring they basically demoted all the Sr managers and everyone got put under a director for the most part... Those directors suddenly had a minimum of 20 directs and, managing at least two entirely different teams. Meaning that the director... — read more
