Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

from what I hear the massive layoffs won't begin until MD gets the Oracle suite - think AI but not - in place later this year to eliminate most of the current systems and manual processes we use. Elon is using it and MD is a fast follower to anything Elon does. Good luck to us all.

No, they sold VMware so Michael and Silver Lake would make an insane amount of money. Michael Dell as a person is now the largest shareholder in Broadcom.

This is the same play Elon does. Uses his companies as leverage to obtain more capital financed on debt, and then make even more money. Repeat.

This is all a financial game to make Michael richer and he's copying the Elon playbook because Michael has lost his soul somewhere along the way. No one at that level cares about the products any more than they're a means to an end which is make the rich richer.

"he sold off the VMware splinter for $69 billion, pocketing $9 billion"

Actually he went into debt up to his eyeballs to pay $67 billion for EMC. The interest alone on that debt was probably running around 10 million a year. So Dell foolishly decided to sell off of the VMware cash cow. A cash cow that, if managed correctly, could very well bring in more $$ over the next 6-7 years than Dell got for it. But Dell is too short sighted to care about more than what their stock is projected to do over the next 10 days.

Leaked a convo with your WW VP friend? Ya, convo never happened

Rather than automating Sales they should automate the full supply chain.. software can do the same job in SC but can’t instead of Sales

MD is not going to sleep with you, brah, so stop with the boot licks

"He also bought a successful $60+ billion company and is successfully running it into the ground"... which he sold off the VMware splinter for $69 billion, pocketing $9 billion for the effort.... ummmm winning!

I can tell you that MD is listening to all of your dissatisfaction with him and his company and carefully thinks about at night before he goes to sleep on his bed made of money that being a cheap parts peddler and an innovation zero has built for him. Don't hate because you ain't folks.

"who started a company in his college dorm room"

yah and that was in 1992?
Bill Gates does not brag about windows 95 anymore.

I've worked for companies with leadership that cared about me personally. If you've never worked anywhere else, I can see why you'd be so cynical about the employer/employee relationship. The key is to work for a small company. Just pray it doesn't get acquired.

"who started a company in his college dorm room and turned into a $100 Billion corp. Yeah... typical accomplishments for cheap parts peddler with zero innovation.
Don't hate him cause you ain't him."

He also bought a successful $60+ billion company and is successfully running it into the ground.

Don’t hate the player.

Hate the game…

...who started a company in his college dorm room and turned into a $100 Billion corp. Yeah... typical accomplishments for cheap parts peddler with zero innovation.
Don't hate him cause you ain't him.

“Dell isn't run by leadership who cares about their employees.”

No company cares about their employees. You’re a cell in the spreadsheet like you said. The sooner you accept that the happier you’ll be.

MD is a grifter. Hasnt been relevant in over 10y.
Watching him talk about AI is cringe maxxed.

Dont blame Elon.
MD always just cheap parts peddler with zero innovation
