Is nobody worried that we’re losing talent at an astounding rate? We’re already having issues staying competitive, imagine how things will be five years from now if people continue leaving at the current rate. The future looks anything but bright, in my humble opinion.

if you are talented, why would you be at dell? cause it's such a cutting edge A player in hardware and AI?
you are playing little league yet talk like you throw for big league.
Not worried. Success depends on talent. I strongly believe that top performers excel consistently, irrespective of their role or function. Conversely, bottom performers often dwell on problems rather than solutions, dragging down the overall performance. Mediocre doesn’t equate to success.
C'mon folks. Here is the hurtful truth - Dell is the Biden of the hardware manufacturers..
They think they only need chatbots to sell AI servers at negative margins. Managers are trying to justify their existence with internal spreadsheet spam. It's the executive AI bubble guys and the middle management spreadsheet pushers who are demanding head oint reduction at the low levels.
The 'I want to work from home' kiddo no doubt.
@1pvh+1tkbq0ee around longer than that kiddo
Who would buy storage business that Dell itself knows is a declining market as well as analysts? Milk that old cow until there is no more milk then put it to bed. Let attrition and market down turn do its things while you try to make it work with edge/ai/telcom.. forget multicloud that dog wont hunt.
"Dell name for campus recruiting"
Tell me you are a dinosaur without telling me you are a dinosaur. Dell name? That's laughable. It's not 2003, gramps.
as a long-timer lack of content for "talent departures" is nothing because they leverage the Dell name for campus recruiting and dig into the tens of thousands of resumes
No they literally don't care. To them employees are furniture and to be used and tossed as needed. It's indicative of a poor executive lineup only focused on cost cutting and penny pinching to manipulate the balance sheet.
Most companies actually do an overhaul of their executive suite to drive innovation and growth top down.
agreed. I'm in a legacy EMC application that is losing people and not getting the recs to backfill. Doing alot more with less and quality of the product is starting to suffer. Developers have to do QA work and handle customer escalations in addition to trying to add new functionality to the product. If a few more people leave, and they are looking, the product could essentially go belly up.
We are in a hype bubble frenzied cycle. Look at the earnings. No profit is being made on AI hardware. Dell is banking on the hype bubble. Once it bursts more will be let go and there will be a slow recovery into sanity.
Agree with the comment below, this behavior is preparing the books for a sale of some kind. Not sure what, would seem crazy to sell the storage business but it is expensive to run, would make MSD and co a ton of cash and the investors and major shareholders are desperate to see how much can be made by the latest VMWare style carve out.
EMC was the innovation, dell is just a supplier. EMC portfolio dominated for years and even now in the enterprise for dell with very little innovation. There were attempts, any sales employee knows the numerous dead products that they spent 10s of millions developing that lasted half a year with no sales… but the portfolio hasn’t changed (power max, data domain, isilon, rail)…
it has a brand that will sell regardless of how competent or incompetent its staff may be
It looks like they are selling it.. I agree that Dell does not care much about technical / engineering competence. But isn't Dell mainly a supply chain thing - that is , the Dell innovations are in the Supply Chain organization? Does the Engineering matter that much in Dell which builds mainly legacy stuff?
IMO, Dell believes it has a brand that will sell regardless of how competent or incompetent its staff may be. They do not care.
