Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

If you comment with praise for JC on the All In post, you’re a tool and deserve to be laid off. Other than kissing up you have no use to the work. But kiss ups advance here so guess you might stay for all the wrong reasons. Kudos

If leaders go all-in for me, I’ll consider going all in for Dell. I haven’t seen more than a 2% raise at Dell.

Leadership wants YOU to go all in while they sit around and do nothing and collect fat checks. Exploitation at its best.

JC also has more money than GOD. He doesn't give a cr-p.

Pre-empting all the managers demoting to IC roles. Its not your title that countals, its how much you contribute. But Dell will still recognize you for sh-t, not even inflationary pay adjustment, keep asking more work for less pay, but be proud and go all in for Dell. Doesn't matter about your work life balance, or putting food on the table. While we keep shouting record profits with zero reward for staff and Dell keeps penny pinching.

All in

7 day RTO is coming next

Said "F you" out loud in the office and deleted that nonsense sht. Thanks for the propaganda BS from our supreme leaders!

What a f u c k i n g clown

Leadership needs to take a hard look at moral. If we want to win the team must be strong not demoralized. Put the feelers into the field and absorb what they tell you. It's not them vs. Us unless you make it so. The strongest companies are the ones that inspire their base, empower their talent and listen carefully to what is not being said. We can be adequate or we can thrive. Invest in your talent, return to flexibility, get rid of bad actors and do what is logical not what is trending. That is how you create innovation. It's through excitement not exhaustion.

Seems like JC is butt/ego hurt over the Business Insider Artical about RTO, and maybe Tell Dell did not go his way. I am eagerly awaiting feedback on corp level leadership/strategy results in tell dell. He better find some AI/XE demand for next year, or year on year is going to be ugly.

@a9+1jxwhy4e6, you will.

My father was the machinist who cut the triangular windows for the lunar lander. He cut other parts as well, but those were ones which could be seen. He was one of the top machinist in the country.

JC reads this board and sees people calling for his ousting and replacement with Sudhir. He is in full out panic mode. As he should be.

This is Jeff’s response to the Tell Dell horror show. He’s wearing his Motivational Jeff T shirt today.

Too late, Jeff. ELT’s greed has f*cked the goose that laid the golden eggs.

We are all in! All in burn out. All in up to our ears in work for lack of support or staff. All in offices that have limited amenities where we’re constantly told nothing is gonna be improved or changed, and encouraged to stop asking.

A lot of us have been all in for many years, only to be here being asked to be all in for more, always more, for nothing in return, but to be asked to be all in, more. For more for who?

Michael Dell knows how to run a successfully company. He is a genious on bussiness. I don't think this email is approved by him. It's unheart corporate e-mail without any human face in any word on it. Michael please you are human and good person so you must POST the next email showing your heart, your leadership, your espirit to lead such a great and successful company and get morale to your employes get UP that you did in the past very well.
We need more MD less JC

cheers MD.

Jeff… we’ve been all in.

All in on extra hours. All in while watching friends get laid off. All in without raises, without recognition, without direction. And now you want more? You want us “all in” while you’re all out of touch, of accountability, of empathy? Emails don’t fix culture. Slogans don’t rebuild trust. And “AI opportunity” doesn’t mean a damn thing if the humans behind it are burnt out and ignored. We’re not the ones who need to go all in. You are. On people. On truth. On rebuilding what leadership has broken. Until then, maybe it’s time we all step out and stand together.

Stinks of panic - they know the jig is up and they are wayyyy behind the curve. They are being out thought, out fought, out innovated and can’t catch up. If they spent as much time on figuring out the future vs demoralizing staff morale then there would be no need for these emails. The writing was on the wall when no changes were made on the strategy for the FY. A day late and a dollar short.

If JC gets his way we'll be All In the unemployment line.

In Spider there is a scene on dealing with mistakes. A young engineer makes a miscalculation months earlier and much of the work done since then was based on the bad data in that mistake.
The young engineer is sitting in front of the manager as the manager looks through the engineer’s notes. Rather than terminating the engineer or punishing him he tells him to go home and get some rest because there is a lot of work to do.
By owning up to mistakes and correcting them, the project can move forward.

If only our (Remote work is the future) leaders could admit when they are wrong and we could all move on.

Spider has a great scene depicting what we now call Out of The Box thinking. A team of engineers works all night to demonstrate to the boss that they can take a different approach on reducing the weight of the spacecraft by reducing the size of windows and having the astronauts stand when flying it reducing the need for heavy seats and large glass windows.

I’ve seen Twelve O’Clock High - The General, played by Gregory Pe-k, also doesn’t hesitate to tell his superiors that they are being ambiguous, terms like ‘Maximum Effort’ without really defining what that means.
The air and ground crews respond, they take pride in their shared accomplishments and share in the grief of lost comrades.

Definitely a good lesson for anyone who calls him or herself a leader.

If this doesn’t look like an AI written piece I don’t know what does.
‘Sense of urgency’ to me let’s run around like chickens with our heads cut off just to look busy. ‘This is a cliche that was debunked in the 90s.
He also uses that myth of JFK and the janitor. I also heard it about a Pope and a stone cutter concentrating on his task. Maybe if we all shared in the rewards (stock options and ESOP) we would feel more connected.
I noticed that Jeff doesn’t say a word about listening to input from one’s subordinates. Of course not, that would imply the C-Level is not all knowing.

There are two movies that should be mandatory for all managers. Maybe everyone at Dell.
The first is about leadership - Twelve O’Clock High. A management movie within a war movie. An Army Air Forces brigadier general is put in command of what is called a hard luck unit. (Heavy losses and high casualties)
He knows luck has nothing to do with it and works hard to improve things. Not through memos and lectures but through actions of increased and focused training, putting the right leaders in the jobs, and chastising an experienced officer who doesn’t do enough to mentor new bomber crews. He also seeks input from all levels in the unit. Including the enlisted men doing day to day work.

And if Jeff wants an example from NASA, the next is actually a free standing episode in the miniseries ‘From The Earth to the Moon’. Episode 5 is called ‘Spider’, it focuses on the engineering team and the Grumman workers who designed and built the Lunar Modules. They had their goal set, build a small spacecraft to safely land two astronauts on the moon and get them back to the Apollo command module orbiting the moon.
They are doing something no one has ever done and run into problems and delays. The main character is based on a real engineering manager who is caught between management pressure, budgets, and technical problems no one has face before.

Just another meme!

Let’s go all in.
