Dell was good till they went public to buy emc/VMware. Once they were a public company it all went downhill from there. Bye bye 3x multipliers over 100% and hello to more KPIs and layoffs. Back before being publicly owned, when it was so profitable to be 50/50 because you could multiply your commissions x3 over 100% that's the whole reason I joined ACQ when I started. Now it's a complete joke! More work, less payouts and more kpis that do nothing for generating business. Dell is a shame of what it used to be. Gates on commissions and buckets in ACQ?!?! The whole point was to EARN the business at all costs! Now they are treated like any org even get pricing at non acq discounts. Now we have to rebuild broken relationships with less tools. I got the heck out of acq after they combined it with enterprise and outside led cause we had to fet priced by their standards and we can't win over happy Lenovo customers on outside led prices and soured customer perceptions of dell. Seems like they dont care about growing business when they are still actively laying us all off.
I’m looking for the pass code to the C-Suite bog. I’ll leave my message.
Not sure I agree that Dell is anywhere near the tubes, let alone down them. Yes, the company has cleared out 20,000 noisy, overpaid American underachievers in the last couple of years, but the future looks solid. The market is saying so, and the analysts are saying so.
I call bs on this invester
Dell stock was $40 3 years ago, not too bad of a return over that time to now. I don';t feel bad about my investment, it doubled to $200k in those 3 years.
