Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Grossly...

  • Grossly underpaid compared to the area market for my role
  • Grossly underappreciated
  • Grossly overworked
  • Managers and org leaders Grossly overpromise dates without regard for employee morale
  • Inspire awards are Grossly under given
  • Direction changes seemingly daily is Grossly infuriating
  • Grossly unprofessional behavior from others almost daily

Are we seeing a theme here?

Completely agree with @ck+1k3q7ad3k. Dell will never pay the big bucks like the biggest tech companies, but I've found it to be in the ballpark for similar work in the average company

I discovered this site about 2 years ago and ever since, I regularly see posts about "Dell doesn't pay as much as others" and I have commented before and will repeat - I do not believe that to be true in general.

I think a lot of people look at similar sounding jobs from Nvidia, Amazon, Google, et al. and assume that they should be getting paid competitively with those roles. But Dell is primarily viewed by the market as a legacy hardware business - even if you work on software. It is naive to think you will get paid by Dell as if you are creating AWS offerings at AWS margins. If you can get the same job at a Mag 7 company, you should. But my guess is that that will be harder than you are willing to admit.

If all of that is true, why haven't you left? All the signs say you shouldn't be at Dell anymore. If you're grossly underpaid, you should be able to find a new role somewhere else quickly since you're willing to work for less than market rates.

If you don't like working at Dell, quit.

Grossly unwilling to recognize that staying at Dell is your choice?
