Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Over the 10 years that I have been here we are being treated less ans less like workers and more like cogs in some machine. All interchangeable and equally replaceable and none worthy of routine maintenance.

Same with me. Dell was my first Corporate position and all the other jobs I'd had were with smaller companies, so Dell was impressive to me... at first. I thought all the lounge areas, random couches in hallways, cafeterias, onsite medical center, and benefits were awesome.

Funny thing is, is that the buildings in RR were all originally parking garages that ended up being bought by Dell and converted. And it's obvious if you look around. The thing is though, is that by today's standards, Dell isn't anything special anymore. Most companies have the same benefits as Dell now, same PTO days, etc etc etc...

The BIG difference is that Dell is constantly laying off, and severely underpays compared to their competitors.

yes. the writing on the wall has been there a long time now.
just look at HQ. it's a dystopia of 90s era buildings.

and i would argue even in good times it really wasnt that good relative to other companies. Dell has always been marketed for more than it was
