Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Dell is a joke

Dell as a company is no longer, the company is a shell of itself. The flattening of the organization, ehhh.. They should have cut the overage on staff before the EMC deal is finalized. EMC was so overloaded on staff its ridiculous! It is quickly becoming EMC 2.0 POOR customer service, POOR products.

They waste crazy amounts of money on tools that do not work, do not communicate with other tools, put out training that is WORTHLESS and expect you to become experts on them. How a company got so big being run so poorly and so inefficiently is beyond me.

You have directors that pick and choose when they are in the office, although EVERYONE within the distance range is REQUIRED in office 5 days a week, Senior directors use unapproved, potentially security risk foreign based communication platforms that corporate cannot see.

They tout being an AI "leader" when they can't even use it internally correctly.

Also stated that they want to have 50 % of women as management, which is GREAT.. but the problem is they put unqualified people in management, and it hurts everyone. There was a director level woman, massively failed managing 2 separate groups/product lines, was PROMOTED after BOTH failures and is still employed.

There is no streamlined management just a bunch of left hands not knowing and working with the right.

We are going to "flatten" our organization make decision making faster, its actually having the reverse effect! And you demote managers down to individual contributors, dont change their salary/benefits etc, BUT they are still expected to perform management duties of their previous reports.

EMC was the GOAT of data center sales and was loved by most enterprises. Dell thought their client AEs could take on real sales lol

Dell is a horrible company. EMC was great. That’s why MD bought it. You Texas tools couldn’t get it done.

Anyone else notice it’s always the same person posting over and over, clinging to the top of the thread with ‘relevant’ content? We get it. You crave engagement. Maybe try logging off and touching some grass.

Funny how you bash EMC, then proceed to list stuff dell gas done to ruin what was EMC. Yes the EMC side is/was overstuffed, but it only became that way AFTER dell bought it and drove away many many customers. Dell's cluelessness when it comes to selling enterprise storage solutions and total lack of ability to hire/retain qualified support personnel has created the mess we are in today.

Dell bought EMC for their customer service and then ruined it.

"Dell is a joke"

You just needed to stop there. MD hasnt been relevant in over 10y. I have never been to a company where they treat the employees with such disdain.

It's a garbage heap of a company with bozos for leadership. Even the HQ in RR is a dystopia of 90s era buildings (what's left).
