Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@1rr, I concur. Even I expressed my opinion in a humorous manner, but it does not diminish its validity. At least I am certain that I have conveyed my perspective effectively.

I took it and roasted them. What are they going to do about it anyway? Absolutely no one cares.

Realistically, there is no real point in taking these surveys unless you either hate or love your manager. SR leadership dgaf about any of it. They will continue on as is regardless and make zero adujustments.

The survey DOES help your manager - if you like them, though.

Realistically dude, these surveys mean absolutely NOTHING to leadership. If certain scores are low or super low, they DO inflate them and then showcase it to all of us.

Take last year for example.

First, they literally flattened the middle management and demoted 99% of Sr managers into a Consultant/PM role, which meant that many of us were thrown under another random manager/director.
You think that manager/director was very happy about getting an extra 10 directs? HECK NO!

Secondly, 5 days/week RTO was mandated. I'm 100% positive nobody was happy about this one.

Lastly, those who are remote were made ineligble for promotion or internal movement unless they went into an office. Full remotes were basically made out to be the "red headed step child" for Dell.

And yet, when my orgs execs presented the TD results to our entire org, SOMEHOW those results were at worst, mediocre. Yeah... BULLSH!!!T.

The survey is to take the temperature of employees. How angry are they? Not how happy they are. How far can I push whatever we are doing before we see widespread "unhappiness". You can bet your bottom dollar this is a part of their gauge for their multiyear AI/Employee Reduction plans.

Ask yourself, have things gotten better around here? I filled in the survey, they should listen? No? They are not listening. They aren't listening because they have other plans.

Take the survey. Don't take the survey. They could care less. You should care less too!

Just rate the first question the lowest to hurt them a bit with eNPS, the rest, they dont give a f about and will all be handled as the managers problem or did we see any real feedback on the bad results the last years? No.

Why do you americans have so many trust issues, come on… they will try to lay off anyone they can anyways, they dont need your „feel good“ survey answers :)

Why? that's the best way to get the he-l out of there with a nice package. Feel free to be transparent about your experience, but keep the tone professional so your words can’t be we-ponized later.

Just rate everything"1" the lowest possible score. Don't comment. Easy

your manager does not know who is who. Just dont do comments

Tell dell is like voting. If it actually mattered the overlords wouldn't let you do it.

I wouldn’t even go as far as asking HR about anything related to Tell Dell, not even its survey vendor. They’ll make a note of your skepticism and will point the blame of lack of participation on you for potentially nefarious reasons that are more subjective than objective. To HR, you’re a statistic. What do you think HR is going to do with your privacy concerns? Help you? That’s foolish thinking. When has HR joined on the sides of the company’s “rebellious employees”?

But I understand your sentiment and I completely agree with what you’re trying to communicate. The right course of action is simply doing nothing. Don’t ask about it. Don’t go to HR about your privacy concerns. Don’t participate. If enough people do this then the company will get the message: something is wrong and we need to understand why without any confrontations.

In general, he’s correct.

If a good number of people simply refuse to take the survey, that will send a much louder message than any answer you we give.

Nonviolent resistance, just like your boy Gandhi taught.

@OP Dude, I share the sentiment but there's not a single thing you mentioned that the other 3rd party vendor couldn't do as well.

The Tell Dell survey has always been manipulated. And it was NEVER truly anonymous. By the way, I wouldn't trust HR as far as you could throw them. They are the tattletales who get people put on WFR lists. Don't trust HR one bit.

do whatever score you want and sign your own name in the comments, be a man.

@dj ohhhh you REALLY feeling the changes from previous Tell Dells?
LMFAO.

@OP I hate a Panzy that doesn’t speak up. Don’t be that worthless person. Speak your mind I do.

TD was literally never truly anonyms though lol... NOTHING on the internet is actually anonymous; including this entire forum!

They manipulate the data every single year - that's nothing new bro...

Why not just give neutral on all responses… I have gone to the phase of ‘do my work , keep ur head down and get a paycheck’ mindset… if we do not fill up managers know that ‘x’ number of ppl have not filled and we kept on getting emails

@OP So this new survey/vendor is just like the old one.... Thank you for keeping us informed, captain obvious.

The only winning move is not to play

Oh....this topic is beating a dead horse again. We go through this 'annonymous' debate every year. Just reference posts from last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.

Tell Dell was never anonymous. If you read the small print it says Tell Dell is Confidential. Anonymous and Confidential are two very different things.
