The things our upper mgmt is worried about is foolish and they just make really poor decisions. Rolling things out like “Modern Dell” which is all about standardization but most of them at the upper mgmt level really don’t understand the implications of what that means. Worrying about what tools are the right ones, using scrum at scale as a reason to broaden span and reduce people and calling hiring remote people a “mistake”. With the only strategic move being creating relationships with a guy who wears the same leather jacket everyday.
Having tons of “offsites” in fact I’ve never seen so much money blown on a set of leaders just flying around the world and taking advantage of their shareholders money. It’s irresponsible.
Meanwhile in the real world, we are losing share in our markets, have had no significant investments, are getting sued left and right, have been incredibly fiscally irresponsible, have no other way to show profit then to cut people and call hiring remote people a “mistake”
The only mistake here is to continue to let these clowns run the show. This is the very worst version Dell ever could be and it’s 100% due to its upper mgmt.
We need a big change at the top. What we have isn’t working. It’s chaos.
