Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

“ Dude, Sudhir is gone in April. Things are looking up.”

Egads…we are sc--wed then!

Alas, perhaps MD and AL can beg Jeff Clarke to personally take over the CTO role. He is an even bigger genius than Sudhir. Just ask him.

we're being told to innovate but what it really means is please just catch up to the competition so we don't as bad. Our product owners are the worst.

Strategy is not having one just go with flow. lol. Pc refresh is not gonna happen as much…economic downturn is expected with all the things going on. Watch news on tv.

“As long as ISG has Sudhir, everything will be great. He is an industry genius. Just ask him.”

Dude, Sudhir is gone in April. Things are looking up.

As long as ISG has Sudhir, everything will be great. He is an industry genius. Just ask him.

@ad+1jp5echtk I doubt the “great pc refresh, is going to happen. All of those laptops and Chromebooks were bought for remote work or remote classes. Mostly replacing equipment that didnt have cameras.
They will still function and govt cutbacks may negate replacement.

At this point I highly doubt MD or JC can spell "S-T-R-A-T-E-G-Y"

JC "Can I buy a vowel?" .... "hmmm give me an O, wait wait ... make that an I"

The shift from meaningful strategy to performative leadership is painfully obvious. RTO isn’t about efficiency, it’s about control. Leadership talks a big game about innovation and investment, but when it comes to actually empowering employees, they opt for the path of least resistance: forcing people back into outdated structures rather than adapting to what actually works. A workforce that feels forced rather than valued isn’t going to go the extra mile. Leadership might think they’re steering the ship, but if they keep ignoring the crew, we might be going down with the Titanic.

I've said it before and i'll say it again. It's embarrassing that the sole growth prospect for the company is an externally driven event. The elusive Great PC Refresh.
I mean...... yes, of course that's a driver. But, what else???

Didn’t you see the all hands? “The strategy is the same as last year”. That went so well we might as well just phone it in and do the same thing.

D-mb leadership just collecting a paycheck and stock.

Ah yes, the modern leadership playbook—talk about bold strategies while quietly cutting resources and expecting groundbreaking results. It’s always fascinating how certain leadership roles seem more focused on protecting their position rather than actually committing to something meaningful. Plenty of talk about efficiency, modernization, and innovation, yet when it comes time to actually invest—whether in people, technology, or relationships—it’s easier to retreat, take what’s convenient, and leave the rest behind.

We used to have a strategy that mattered—acquiring fresh talent, investing in real potential, and building something that could actually last. Now? It’s just cautious adjustments, half-measures, and surface-level changes that look good on paper. Some might call that adaptation, but to those paying attention, it looks a lot more like self-preservation. The kind of approach that values short-term comfort over long-term success.

If we keep optimizing without true commitment, we’ll end up just like those who mistake self-preservation for strategy—choosing the easiest exit instead of building something sustainable. But hey, I guess walking away and calling it 'forward-thinking' is easier than actually making it work.

LoL. Strategy and Dell? LoL.

wheres the great pc refresh?
