Any place that deliberately sc--ws their employees isn’t a good place to be. Dell is the kind of company that takes such advantage of its people they need to form unions. HR policies that push managers to have xyz number of direct reports and that number is going to grow. Policies around no promotions or limited promotions but they promote only “certain” people. Like how they recently promoted people to an SVP or VP but I can’t get a senior manager to a director. Policies where managers HAVE to give a portion of their people 90% of their bonus regardless of their performance. Policies where they lie to themselves telling themselves they’re a great company by enforcing policies that if a manager doesn’t get a high eNPS score it impacts their career growth. Getting yelled at if you try to provide actual feedback hoping to help the company improve. Being forced to lay people off in the US to hire offshore for cheaper labor.
Work at home policies and how they want to totally remove that and we know that’s coming. The number of people I’ve seen over the past 2 years get exited without any cause and have over 15 years is astounding. They favor core Dell people over anyone else especially EMC people.
I left this company because as a manager and as a person I couldn’t treat people like this. If you work at Dell try to leave. If you don’t work at Dell don’t come here. If you work at Dell but can leave then remember it’s just a pay check.
At the end of the day you could be here for a year or 25 years. You are nothing to them. I’m a big proponent of a two way street but that was underlined by a mutual respect. Dell doesn’t respect its workers, managers or investors. It doesn’t even respect its customers. It’s a greedy, money hungry company run by megalomaniacs.
