Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

I once hit 256% of my quota and made less than 1% commission. Dell is a joke. Why would sales work harder?

The front line managers will be worried for sure as most actually give a qrap about the business AND their people. Everone above them though only cares about retaining their precious place at the table. ISRs in their eyes equate to low value activity and can easily be replaced. Truth is if the ISRs stopped in unison then the business would be in deep sh----a.

Stop coming to this site and spend your time working on upskilling and updating your resume/cv.

For Dell, this should be a wake-up call. Quiet quitting doesn’t just mean lower productivity, it signals a loss of trust in leadership and the compensation structure. If high performers start doing the bare minimum, it’s only a matter of time before they leave entirely.

What you’re describing is called, “retention”. Depending on performance of the individual, Dell may vary levels of incentives. If the performance of a “quiet quitter” is low, then there might be two courses of action: layoff or PIP. The company would likely prefer to do the latter since that would increase the chances of quitting, to which Dell wouldn’t have to pay for severance and unpaid commissions.

This would just be US policy, however. I’m not entirely certain about UK&I.

Something that helps me understand my worth to the company is simply asking, “If I quit today, would my team and organization be scřewed?” If the answer is yes, then quitting might be less enticing if Dell attempts to retain you by offering higher salaries and more leave time. You won’t know your worth with absolute fact until your performance review.

@aa+1jnew025e Stupid post.
Sales have downed tools because it is impossible to hit the ludicris targets.
These are ever increasing and absolutley out of this world.Sales like everyone else want to be fairly compensated but at Dell this doesnt happen.Add to this we are pushed back to the office 5 days which is completley unnecessary and the increased costs start to mount up.
With big Mike telling us we will never go back to 5 days and then rolling back on remote work,managment cannot now be trusted and they have created an us vs them mentality.
At this stage people just want out.
Its very hard to turn this around in any way.

Shouldn't their big fat commissions be reward enough?

wouldn't know
