Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@tm yep, same here...they just want the laptop. I've got monitors and docking stations. They didn't want any of that. THey were going to scrap it anyhow. Probably saves them money.

When i left dell all the7 wanted back was my computer. During covid I checked out a desk chair from the office and I still use it at my new job now! And no one asked for any docks, headsets or monitors back either.

With the new SCP i might start selling myself.

@cx Not trolling but it's crossed my mind I suppose.. I'm not selling sh-t either lol.

Bro took “sell the desk” to another level

The same people bi--hing about RTO now find issues with not returning outdated equipment that Dell doesn't even want back. You can't make this stuff up.

If you spent just a fraction of the time you spent thinking/scheming about this on something good, the world would be in a better place.
Karma tends to even things out.

Please tell me you were trolling.

Bro if you're so broke that you need to sell checks notes about $1000 of company property, you got bigger problems.

@OP Maybe you can retire with all the money you make off the equipment, sounds like a great retirement plan

Whenever equipment refresh time comes arpund I've sold every old laptop or desktop Dell has issued me. You just need to make sure to remove the asset sticker and thoroughly wipe the hdd. When we got new monitors in the office I found out the old ones were just being sent to an e-waste recycling company so I took over a dozen home to use/sell. Every time I open a ticket for audio issues IT sends me a new headset, even when its not the headset that's causing problems. I've currently got 6 of them that work just fine on my personal computers. Assets are not tracked anywhere near as closely as others on here have stated.

What an absolute rodent!! You don’t steal from anyone. Ever. If you do then you are 100% a rodent.

You are a l-wlife sc-mbag. Never steal anything from your company( or from anyone else) whether you like the company or not.

Embarrassed for you. Despite how poorly you feel you are being treated you are diminishing the value of those of us truly going through this struggle with the best of intentions to be great at what we do and to provide for ourselves and our families. You may not agree with the company or policies, but at no point does anything you disagree with justify bankrupting your morals and devaluing the rest of us publicly with this nonsense. To be clear, your employer invested in you with technology and an ecosystem to do your job. You were not owed or gifted these things. Selling someone else's property for personal gain is top tier dirt bag behavior.

You’ve clearly thought this through to its inevitable outcome.

Thank you for the layoff information.

@bf okay internet tough guy

Sounds like you are just the kind of person that any company doesn’t want working for them

@a4 not true. I was laid off and have three monitors and three docking stations from Dell. All they wanted back was my laptop and badge.

fafo

What an idea! What could possibly go wrong?

Are you that skint?!

Just so we’re clear:

• You have a plan to sell Co equipment
• You’re posting on an open forum
• You’re sharing your planned sell prices
• Thus when you list, we can see who you are

Maybe just me, but if you are a thief, 100% dishonest, have no moral compass and plan to never work for another major firm….go wild.

Those sound more like list prices than actual selling ones. Nobody buys at list prices, not even retail distributors, unless they are so d-mb to let OEMs scam them.
So I wouldn't bet too much on actually pocketing that money if you try to sell them.

@OP Every company-issued asset.. including docks, headphones, and any other peripherals is logged, tracked, and classified as bonded property. These items must be returned in full during your exit process. Failure to do so will result in you being held financially liable for the full replacement cost.

Please consider your next steps carefully. Attempting to sell company assets is a serious policy violation and a direct path to disciplinary and legal consequences.

all right man! you've thought about everything!
