Dell has changed so much in the last five years. It has turned into a train wreck where effort means nothing. Unless you want to play office politics, you're done. Anyone with options has already walked or is halfway out the door. Sticking around feels like a losing game. I can rattle off a long list of reasons to leave faster than I can come up with one to stay.

What is a URM?
@c8+1jgzgvc0w it was horrible. Couldn’t hire any candidate until found a URM that was qualified. So often reqs went unfilled or bar lowered until a URM qualified and then had to give preference to URM. What a joke. I just wanted to hire the best person for the role. I don’t care about genitals, age, religion, skin color etc. but we were forced to care about these qualities for some reason.
There was reporting on how many URM interviewed and managers had to explain why they didn’t interview or extend offers.
This came from leadership and HR.
Further certain training programs, perks, networking, and opportunities only open to certain groups.
When your rsd regularly mentions fear of layoffs you know it's a culture of fear vs respect. It's also funny when your ism mentions regularly to keep your kpis up to control what you can to avoid a layoff... um they let go lazy people and high performers equally. Doing your kpis isn't going to secure your spot anymore than hitting your number will. They lay off everyone equally and it doesn't matter what you preform like. But the7 say that to get us to work so they look good to their bosses cause they also fear their own layoffs. It's just a bunch of scared people scaring each other at Dell. It's best to leave as soon as you can! Don't stay here a victim of the fearful cuture and constant disrespect from our leaders
A graveyard of talent. Terrible terrible place
ISG is a hot mess. The leadership is pitiful. There is not a strategic thinker in the bunch.
Don't forget the DEI initiatives. Setting quotas for the various employees and levels of management. Checking boxes rather than hiring and advancement on merit will lead to more voluntary separations than ever before. (Although I heard that they're backing off on that losing idea)
Exactly right. Everyone is so far each others a$$es all we see are shoes. The culture is terrible it’s based on fear not respect and so far we’ve done nothing innovative. Absolutely nothing.
Exactly and it is very sad to see how Dell is now and how it was just a few years ago. Leadership in many orgs seem to
be bent on changing things up without knowing what the heck they’re doing causing more grief. Why? Most, not all, who remain in their positions are good at kissing up and being yes men.
