#targets

What is it with the amount of summer students in Wexford we have way to many, does not make sense with our targets been low

So just a little update from our oh-so-generous employer: we still have jobs, how lucky we are, but of course it comes with a lovely caveat. We either uproot our entire lives and relocate, or for some of us, we’re stuck here with no options due to legal or personal reasons. And they gave us the super generous advice that we can apply to new positions here, except surprise, there aren’t any that most of us qualify for. So we just get to work for two more months, no big deal, and then we get a whopping two months of garden leave, which by the way is a huge downgrade from the four months they gave people last time. And we only have 10 days to decide: apply, relocate, or do nothing. If I don’t find something in these four months, well, I have no choice but to take the severance and say goodbye. What a dream, right?

And even if I do relocate, what makes me trust that I won’t just get laid off again two months after I completely uproot my life?

Oh, and on top of that, they still expect us to perform as usual over the next two months, making sure we hit all our targets and keep up our usual standards. What makes them think that’s even realistic after all this?

Per latest Q1 filing, Intel has 78.5k employees. Another 3.5k layoffs on the way!

7% for me

Who is the target next week ? Virtual / managers or everybody

So for those that don't know there will be a lot of upselling for Balance Transfers starting in March. They'll try to bait you, "we are offering 0% Balance Transfers with a fee of 4.99%, will you be willing to take this offer?" lol

This is supposedly US Bank's leadership goals for 2026. They want the reps to hit 70% and try to upsell to customers that don't need to do balance transfers. Also, once you find out how Balance Transfers work you'll be kicking yourself paying more in Interest and paying the bank more than what you asked for.

Do operations managers think this is a smart move? Guarantee this will fail. They predict these sells through their programs lol. smh GK is d-mb as a brick to think this will help them

If your role is tagged to transformation make sure you to start searching for jobs now. I have received emails about my employees with roles tagged to it.

I am wondering if the same will happen to consent order employees. I am betting it will.

Can someone clarify the upside potential under the new comp plan? With the shift to quarterly targets, is there a meaningful opportunity to over-attain, or does this structure make that less likely?

I’m not sure if this is widely known, but the move to quarterly targets is driven by the One Dell Way tool launching in Q2.

The compensation tool can’t combine targets, so the current approach is to set one target on the existing tool and the next on the new tool.

From Q3, we’ll revert to half-year targets.

That said, it’s difficult not to feel disadvantaged by this decision, which appears to be driven by JC’s eagerness to release the tool earlier than necessary. We could have simply waited until Q3.

This change won’t impact above Director level, who are paid on booked revenue, but it does affect those that do the work who are paid only on shipped revenue.

Asking for a friend.

Waiting for the start of RIF and have above questions

When does it begin?
Where geographical locations
Which departments or groups
What criteria qualifies
Who determines
How many total targets?
How it is implemented
Why now?

I assume this email is the start of the process

What is the target reduction?

Hi team, are we allowed to make money again yet? Maybe a chance at multiplying? Or, are we just going to be low balled all year by an extremely high target? Asking for a friend.

Our entire team failed at hitting their numbers for November, same as October so it doesn’t look like the quarter is gonna be any better. Time to call it quits for DSD.

Despite all the bullying from team leaders to reach targets be assured theres no chance of being fired for not meeting them,so relax who cares about a negative review your going to get for something else anyway.

USA folks.

SD and SC. What are the median raises this year ?

Are the stock targets going up ?

There were some posts about stacked rankings and PIP's. Is this going to be company-wide? Is there a target %?

Now a new sales target tier has been unleashed. It starts at one million and Ends at seven miiion we already had sales tiers before
This is the new company making up new things. Even if they existed

Obviously there is a target.

Rumors are getting strong that there will be big layoffs in Q4 2025. HR is preparing the lists. Each VP got a target number for their department. It will be a sad Xmas season for a LOT of people.

Sounds like it is going to be a quarterly thing from now.

Glad they are finally addressing the problem with all the under performers.

As it's slowly consumed I'd expect this budget junk offering to be targeted.

I've heard there will be more layoffs soon, is there any way to know when? Somebody also mentioned some roles might be eliminated, is this true?

Not looking good so far can I bank on the iPhone launch or do I start slamming already?

I wonder how Oracle will meet their targets for the DoD/VA, and the other two federal clients. Teams that were already short on people and missing deadlines are even worse off now. Cerner has been called before Congress for missing targets before. Give it a year or two and it might happen again.

Anyone have any idea about who will be targeted by the layoffs?

If management had to spend even a single week working under the same strict rules they’re pushing on us, they’d see how unrealistic and counterproductive they are. It’s easy to make policies from an office far away, but when you’re the one dealing with constant pressure and impossible targets, those rules just don’t hold up. Maybe if the people making these decisions actually experienced them firsthand, they’d think twice before rolling them out.

If your paycheck is bigger than most, brace yourself. Management doesn’t care about loyalty. They’ll cut the highest-paid first without blinking. It’s frustrating, unfair, and exhausting. Keep your resume ready and don’t kid yourself thinking it won’t happen to you.

Never have I ever saw a company set goals for employees and never offer a glimpse of whether it’s on track to not.

Very strong focus on selling these days. From delivery partners to client partners: everyone has been asked to contribute to quarterly revenues. Looks like the old IBM days of shoving iron ( aka Z systems) down everyone’s throat and generate revenue.

The WIM hammer is coming. Market Leaders not recruiting, gone! Branch Managers not recruiting, gone! Not generating income via Alts, gone!
