Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Fail upwards and Jeff Clarke

The c-level suite sets the tone for a company.
There is a culture of fail upwards in DELL. All levels of management are rife with individuals who failed to enhance their previous groups yet continued to climb the ladder. They failed upwards
Issuing blanket decisions, cutting heads based on a numbers game is a sure sign you have
A. Lost understanding of the processes flow that makes you the real money and margin
B. Have a management coterie that can't make their groups productive, cant operate them productively and have bloated them with under,performing people carried by those who are good workers.

  1. C-Level is panicking and trying to fool the market by upping revenue per head count, ut the market knows your ultimately tearing the backbone out of the company.

JEFF CLARKE - how much of this failure does he own. I'd suggest all of it. He made .Michael Dell alot of money, some financial engineering wizardry. But he is clearly the worst tech bro in the industry at his level.
Anyone know what his background was, was he ever a productive engineer or always just a mouthpiece.

@ck
the leaders that moved to edge AI are not the ones who brought about any growth in Telco or any other BU. They were the ones making decisions that resulted in its failure.

Telco is the fastest growing team at Dell in terms of revenue % YoY. We are at the bottom of the purchasing S curve so we have lots of growth potential to go. Yes telco started some things that were changed or cut but the overall growth is good and it has the potential to become a growth area for Dell.

Hoffman retaining his job tells you everything about the buddy system. Telco is a complete failure after 5 years

Jeff needs to get a LOSER t-shirt, he doesn't have much of a clue

Taking Dell Chat away tells me they have no clue what they are doing or how to run a tech company. A company trying to profit on AI won’t even give AI to their engineers.

The PdM VP and Sr. Dir in Telco Infrastructure Blocks completely decimated the team and didnt get any revenue promised even after 8 yrs. Even after all their projects and teams associated with their projects were closed and people laid off, they got promoted to lead Edge AI.
Can these people not be evaluated for their performance ? At least see what the current employment market is offering and choose a better candidate.
This is a Joke.

Jeff Clark is a robot. He cares about margin through opex. He’s got no strategy to generate revenue at all. None.

Here’s the thing though. He doesn’t care. They’re driven by corporate greed
