Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@2b8 you revived a 16day old post. You have yourself to blame. No wonder you work at Dell.

God I wish this thread would die and go away. Tired of seeing MITgrad..

Talk less
Smile more
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

You will lead a team of fake agentic AI, the agents will be a legion of indians working for a rice plate.
good luck

@rt

Actually Dell seems to be welcoming barely competent workers with from India with fake resumes with open arms.

@kb yeah, that's not going to happen with your attitude. Dell is waking up to the fake resumes from your country, and the lack of technical skills that are revealed ater hiring.

I'm very motivated to move up the ranks as fast as I can to become a Dell manager.

@eh

who gives a eff about a dell manager

Not wise to start a new job with a miserable attitude. Your manager will pick up on it right away and you will be judged. Good luck.

Pro tip: avoid f-bombs and insults - mods are scrubbing hard for ToS violations. Unless, of course, getting nuked by a surprise ban is your thing.

Be prepared for constant change (accounts, pay, teams). It will be hard to build a true pipeline as they are always shuffling account sets. Almost just a turn and burn mentality they want you to have. Stay strong, grind!

@a9

Thank you, this is really great advice.

Watch out for the 1-1 meeting invites with your manager and HR

Get ready for another 4 years of excrutiating work learning and trying to make an honest impact here at Dell only to be ignored, sidelined and given twice/three times the workload as a reward. "It's a great opportunity for you to get exposure", they'll say.

run while you can

Welcome to Dell, get as much experience and knowledge as you can, don't ever feel secure with this company, use it for all it's worth and be prepared to go elsewhere when the opportunity arrives. In the long run, Dell will not be loyal to you, no need for you to be loyal to them. Join the 401K and take it with you when you leave

@ar

Yes. Dell is relying on new jr hire ignorance and naivete.

My advice is to run, not walk to the nearest non dell employer and submit your resume. Dell would need significant improvement to even be considered as a lower tier 3rd rate company.

4 years of studying to come to DELL are you kidding me? Also you are one of the ones that took a job from someone with way more experience and tenor so they could pay you half of what I made. I was replaced by some sn-t nosed 22 old girl. So tell again how should you navigate Dell leave.

anyone who has been at dell for 10+ don't follow their lead unless your goal is to park it at a sub par company for a few decades.

Get your experience and get out of dell asap. dell is not a place you go to grow.
dell and it's leaders will fill your ears with growth, family, team, career nonsense. dell is an end of career place.

Absolutely DO NOT speak up! See first what happens to those in your team who speak up. If management likes it, do it, if not, keep it to yourself .

My management say they like it but they actually don’t. Those who had spoken up before got booted out first. It has happened to three people in my team within three years already.

Write emails and Teams messages in full sentences, you’re not texting your buddies about the weekend plans, you’re conveying business or technical information.
If you use and abbreviation or acronym (learn the difference) make sure everyone knows what you mean.

The biggest communication mistake people make is to assume the same abbreviation means the same thing to everyone in the company… it does not.

My advice is to listen! There are people with two years in and people with 25 years in, you can learn from all of them.
Ask questions. And if you have an idea or question speak up. You may be inexperienced but you are also a fresh set of eyes on a problem, you might have the answer.

You will hear some discouraging answers to questions all through your career - the worst is “Because we’ve always done it that way.”

One more bit of advice - next year, when the new kids show up… give them a hand we were all rookies once.

This reads as a troll post to me. Did you read any of the posts before you made a comment. If you were truly interested you wouldn't ask us to tell you how it is. You'd read our previous posts to tellyou how it is. I dont like repeating myself and again I think this post is just to troll us. Glass door would be better for this type of question i think

Be mindful of the senior people in your team because they are being replaced by you. A lot of ignoring, sabotage and backstabbing will come your way. They will pretend to train you but they will give you the bare minimum to tick Managers boxes and they will throw you in the deep end. Stick with other graduates and find the good people. There are some really good seniors as well but those are hard to find.
