Heard from a HR exec that this years Tell Dell Employee Survey is worst on record. Also heard that the WFRs were reduced due to saleschat not being adequate yet.
The culture is severely broken and VP/SVP leadership can’t be trusted, especially in sales/presales. But hey.. let’s get executives to post pictures on LinkedIn at round rock with all the new hire graduate sheep and pretend everything is ok.
@bn agree. I suspect a lot of ex-wives and estranged kids would attest to that.
Get rid of JC and replace him with someone more competent, and i think Dell would flourish again but as long as he's still there... Dell will continue to decline.
Who's honestly surprised though? Literally... Even the Execs/ C level leadership and he-l, even JC and MD? I sure hope they weren't surprised... With as many MAJOR changes they've made the last 2.5 years?
Raises are comically hilarious given the cost of living
Offices are pathetic. Gyms were dispersed of. Onsite med centers gone. Cafeterias are comical and overpriced. Pizza, burgers, chicken tenders, fries, a "wrap bar" and a whole bunch of cr-p quite literally bought from HEB (grocery store) and then marked up.
Offices in RR look the same as they did 30 years ago... Still just remodeled parking garages.
Parking is a disaster
idk about other orgs but mine never has a "budget" for fkn anything... even critical sh-t.
Travel/conferences? I mean, dell constantly harps on collaboration in person but yet I've yet to meet my manager in the 8 years I've been here and he's LITERALLY 4 hours away lmfao. They want us to learn AI and bla bla but refuse to pay for anybody to GO learn. there are some solid AI conferences and nope. Too "expensive!" But better learn it or else!
RTO 5 days/week and being MONITORED? WTF are we? children? Dell loves to spout how they are all for a "flexible" work/life balance but idk about that anymore. Especially considering dell has ALWAYS been a 3 day in, 2 days at home company...
I think my favorite is that they want us to use the "#iworkfordell" hashtag LOL... as if anybody is bragging about working for dell these days.
I mean, I'm finding it hard to ever want to recomend dell as a half way decent place to work anymore. In fact, I wouldn't actually tell or reccomend anybody to work for them at this point and the irony is that I love my job at dell. I wish I didn't in some ways lol...
That is because Dell has become a horrific company, filled with management who are sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists. These people would literally do ANYTHING for a buck. They'll be remembered that way for the rest of their lives, no matter where they go or what they do. They'll be total pieces of sh!t.
thelayoff.com is the new Tell Dell.
I am not surprised about the AI comment. The AI chat isn't too bad but I don't think it is at a level that management wants it to be. They are pressing us to use it all the time. As soon as it is accurate, bye bye presales.
I suspect that this will be the last TellDell. Why waste money on an exercise in futility? It's not like leadership are willing, keen, happy to spend their profits on us worms!
Hear no evil, see no evil....
They want to fire more of us but they don't have the technology in place yet? That's real messed up.
