Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

I’d require 2-ply in the bogs.

@kr Sounds like you have received great raises. My 3 largest raises didn't add up to 11% and management acted all shocked and appalled when I booked all my vacation then resigned the day before I was supposed to return. I'm working with a dell partner now, basically only doing the easiest parts of my job at Dell, and getting paid almost 3x with more vacation, more sick leave, and lower insurance premiums.

I would immediately fire JC for incompetence and frankly the majority of the executive team.
Hire an executive team who’s entire remit is to innovate and not to pander to Wall St - long term thinking is what’s required.
Engage employees early & often before any significant changes in the company are implemented and be open to honest dialogue & feedback. Change course if necessary.
Remote work to be immediately reinstated with a quarterly budget set aside for offsite team events to those teams who have met their goals.
Open an employee share purchase program.
If headcount reductions are required then all measures should be taken to retain talented staff regardless of salary and location. Weed out the poorest performers & bootlickers.

@a3 Which as we all know, doesn't happen. My last raise was 3.8% which was a joke. Last year it was only 11%. Year before that a mere 3% .Year before that was a comical 9%. An extra 50 bucks to each paycheck doesn't do jack in today's world.

Dell has - since covid anyways saved money by:

• cutting travel/conferences to 99% of people
• Drastically reduced their training budgets
• Got rid of onsite gyms and medical centers
• Promotions are mostly a thing of the past
• Hiring freezes
• minimal raises
• Giving most orgs either a ZERO budget or a joke of a budget
• Taking work phones back - i said i needed mine so I still have it. I use it for nothing more than a backup phone and a hotspot every so often.
• Drastically reduced the cafeteria - it's a joke now. AND overpriced for what they offer.

I mean, I'd rather dell save money versus laying people off but cmon, dell is and has been laying people off daily for the last 5+ years at this point. WHAT are they saving money for lol?

For reference, I found and applied to a job that is with another major F500 company for a position that is essentially what I'm doing right now. The starting pay is 112k with a max of 165k. I'm at 112k and could easily get 140-150k and have an interview next week. Oh, and it's 3 days in office.

idk who dell thinks they are but, they are underpaying, overstaffing (and then cutting,) mandating 5 days/week, and have no incentive to go into office since they cut damn near everything out. He-l, when I first started they had a FREE kureig station. That's gone. Now there is some fancy af water machine where you can infuse water with various flavors lol. I mean, it's cool but i'd prefer free coffee...

a public company with so many insiders with privilege financial information in advance should be investigate from FEB and FBI, we are just puppets waiting to be lay off for the convenience and greed from this people included MD.

Annual raises that match inflation us extra if you are performing well.
