leadership havent evolved in the last 10+ years. For a company that is hyper focused on money making strategy over and above technology strategy, the pivot should be to high margin software. IBM and HPE constantly acquire software companies and are better for it. JC is a one trick pony and every leader beneath are 'yes men' who are only concerned with their next options or rsu allocation. Bring in some fresh blood and wake up ya muppets!

@OP IBM is a dinosaur. And HPE is becoming less true to their word by the minute.
Because it is useless. They ask for opinions trying to see what the general population is thinking. They shouldn't even ask. I think they are just looking for the troublemakers.
The I in ISG is for Id--ts
@c6 Let me guess, you're in ISG?
hpe is not one to emulate as they have been in the dumps for years
@cv Thanks for the laugh mo--n!
@cv you are an oxygen thief
@cv “top cheese”?? Haha what a knob.
Lots of bla bla bla posts here.
Why don’t you sit down with the top cheese and discuss it instead of hiding like cowards in thelayoff.com website and stating your opinions.
SMH
You are all worthless human beings have some ba--s.
@aw take a look in the mirror - you are the problem. totally disconnected from reality. There is a reason dell has never been perceived as anything more than a pc company
You forgot about Viper FAILURE
Our vp is so stupid he needs a monthly update on each project in flight, always gets upset because he can’t fathom what the project is about and we have to dum it down to 101 level because he’s a fcuking mo--n, so much cycles wasted on getting him to comprehend basic stuff
@OP Nothing new here. Dell has a long history of failing at high-margin products and services, namely enterprise software solutions. Look at:
x400 - failure
DM5500 - failure
Santorini - failure
Hydra - eminent failure
Cyber Recovery - failure
PPDM - failure
VxRail / VCS - failure
Apex - failure
VMware - failure
Quest - failure
SonicWall - failure
Appassure - failure
Boomi - failure
Perot Systems - failure
EMC - ki-led it
Networking - failure
On and on and on ...
It's not about acquiring companies, it's about Dell's proven inability to advance their codebases once they do acquire someone. They milk them then drive them into the ground. That is all they know.
Dell engineering does not know anything about Enterprise software, whatsoever! They have proven that over and over and over again. Yet, ironically, Dell spends millions and millions of dollars each year pretending like they do while sh---y engineering and product leadership are never held accountable for their failures. Customers literally won't even let us talk about Dell software solutions anymore because they've been burned too many times.
The track record doesn't lie. All Dell knows is low-margin hardware, that's it.
@aw Yes the very clear direction is that this company is in a downward spiral while the c suite ppl milk it fir every cent that they can before ot crashes and burns.
We don’t acquire software companies? People like you just have no idea what’s going on, and then blame higher ups for having no direction.
There is a very clear direction, you’re just either not intelligent enough or important enough to see it.
