Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Sir, this is RadioShack.

Awesome. I'm looking for a 30 uF capacitor. Any of those in stock?

Sir, this is RadioShack.

Sounds like you have it all figured out and provide value to your VP. Sounds like you're driving the train and shouldering a lot of the business and can pick up more work and responsibilities as teams decrease. I know the VP is thinking at way.

Just another person who can’t think beyond surface level. Institutionalized mindset. Indoctrinated with capitalism and thinks that anyone cares about them or their work. You could be replaced or cut any day regardless of the “value” you bring.

B _ _ _ h please! You just told your Vp you ain’t comin in? You’re just a number like everyone else. Don't come on here preaching your next level work ethic. Those who have to brag about their value to the company need to be shown the door. I can think of one good place to trim the fat right now.

Not my fault you’re doing it wrong… 🤷‍♂️

shhhshhhhh!
Dell is the bestest paying. yah the bestest so no need to go anywhere else.

@az+1jkaxbmpd
Huh? Dell salaries are high-end compared to other top companies? I know plenty of people that get paid more at B & C tier companies. If we are talking about tech, FAANG interns get paid more than most of my coworkers.

Losing skilled employees doesn’t invalidate the original post?

Expertise deployed incorrectly is still bad business. I’d wager that the management and remaining team members referenced are still trying to do the things they’ve always done - with a smaller team?

The author of the original post is wrong.
Several extremely valuable employees in the US were let go. They were experts in their fields of operating systems, support, and project management.

Their managers are still scrambling and ex-colleagues are stretched trying to cover for them.

I work at dell for the cultural enrichment.

I also get paid very well.

That doesn’t really justify a response as it’s just a bizarre and illogical comment.

If I’m all on board for driving the simplification and reduction of overlapping roles - how am I causing the problem?

Your the reason why there are "There were 10 people from 5 different teams all doing the same job" -- it's only a matter of time before you leave, on your own, or the "other" way.

"Dell pays me an awesome salary"

LoL. You dont even know what you dont even know.
Keep thinking you get paid "awesome" at dell.

Because Dell pays me an awesome salary to work hard and be good at what I do?

I’m failing to see the “giant hole” you allude to?

There is a big giant hole in your declarations.
If you are so awesome, why would you stay at Dell?

Dell is working at a hive mind. You are only as good as how much you subscribe to their "values."

Yup, I’m a number, replaceable and happy with my lot in life - welcome to reality! If Dell no longer wants me, I’ll happily shake hands and go ply my trade elsewhere.

Your just a number and replaceable pal lol.

Read the frickin FAQs and details!

Sheep blindly follow. Leaders have full autonomy to do what’s right for the business and their team members!

I fully support remote work and unless HR holds everyone accountable almost every manager I know at almost every level will support remote work.

The only hypocrite in the company is the person running it. He’s the disease and it’s spreading across his company.

The whole point of “Anonymous” is not to name / shame individuals but my conversations were with a US VP.

I stand by my original post….

Would love to know the name of the VP that supports this declaration! If management are genuinely being given the ability/flexibility to "manage" their own teams and therefore decide who actually "needs" to be on site and those that don't then this will be a welcome step in comparrison to the one size fits all approach we often see from the "higher ups". Knowing Dell, I doubt this will be the case.

I agree 100%
