[ISG] Dell trainings are the d-mbest sh-t ever. I've been pencil-whipping that sh-t for years

Does anybody actually spend 8-12 hours per quarter watching these dorks read a script and go through a boring a-s .ppt? For the 5 years i've been here I've just been pencil-whipping trainings and I've NEVER had an issue because of it. Nobody has said a word, I've never felt like I was lacking knowledge that I could've gleaned from paying attention, none of that.

The Agentic AI training was particularly silly. Sure, let me sit and click through this hour long module that's trying so hard to convey that AI will transform the workforce meanwhile Dell's Wannabe-GPT can't even tell me how to configure an R760XL to fit 4x H100s.

What were some training modules that you found particularly egregious?

Nope.

If there’s a quiz at the end, just screenshot the question/answers and tell ChatGPT to answer with only ABC or D

Of all the things to sh-t on at Dell you pick free training?

@a5 No 3x, but you can skip straight to the end of each video with a bit of JavaScript in the browser console. You can probably do 5x or 10x too but skip lowers your idiocy intake.

Wannabe GPT = Dell Sales Chat (aka Glean they rented)?

@aw

That used to work but now many of the videos have to be played to about the 75% mark before you acget credit.

@a8 being critical of the learning at Dell is totally fair. I don't feel I've been challenged or learned anything transferable in a Dell training to date. I'd rather have 2 calls a year with my manager, roll playing and getting feedback on my sales skills for instance, than have AI grade my conversation that I built from AI

you are saying this because of fear of loosing your job. GPT will prevail over the demotivated individuals who are polluting DELL with their presence.

The only dissatisfaction is that there's no 3x speed to get thru these pointless training videos

I can't tell you what parts of tbe training I found to be silly since I played them at 2x speed with the sound muted while doing my actual job. On days that I was feeling ambitious I'd open a training on my desktop and another on my laptop and play 2 trai ings at 2x soeed with the sound muted so could get through them even faster.

What Dell GPT are you using. The formed Dell Chat has not been replaced yet.
