It’s time for change.
For the past 24 months, nearly 500 executives have left our organization, many with lucrative golden parachutes ensuring their smooth transition. Yet, while top management departs with comfort and dignity, the same compassion is not extended to mid-level managers or individual contributors.
Many of us at these levels continue to work in an environment clouded by uncertainty, low morale, and limited growth prospects. If executives can leave with support, why can’t the rest of us be treated fairly too?
We demand leadership introduce a Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) for all employees.. not just the upper ranks. A VSP would allow those who no longer see a future here to exit with dignity and reasonable benefits, rather than face continued anxiety and a lack of opportunity.
Let’s call on our leaders to act with fairness and empathy. If the company truly values each employee, prove it.. give everyone the chance for a humane, respectful transition. It’s time to end this misery, and let us choose what’s best for our personal and professional well-being.

It maybe time to break out the pink p***y hats, take this to the streets.
Wont happen. Dell tried this once: there was a stampede out the door.
Seeking a Vsp is not bargaining. It's acceptance, I would argue.
They can't do this. If this were to be offered, there would be a tidal wave of people leaving.
The 5 stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
This is bargaining. With no leverage I might add.
Don't hold your breath. There is ZERO business case for Dell to do this. They are not in business to award VSP. Dream On.
I got 24 months and left happier than ever during my 2 decades there.
Too bad OSB wasn’t one of the executives who left. I’d chip in to get her a bye bye card and some old, wilted flowers.
I saw someone mention a reddit page to help organize a union. Is it true? I'm sure it would get more subs and traction if it was known.
In all seriousness. Has anyone contacted a union?
They did this in 2014.
sounds like discrimination
Seems like a very good idea. Unfortunately, Dell will only do the bare minimum that is legally required to not get in trouble in the courts. Executives generally have employment contracts that stipulate terms of separation, which is why they seldom get laid off and when they do, they get paid. I wish there was something more that could be done.
By far the most sensible post.. it truly addresses the elephant in the room.
