"Sales are low. I challenge the group to blah blah blah"
"There is a lot of low hanging fruit for equipment coming up on maintenance"
"Modern" aka 5 years behind everyone else.
From the greatest hits album after a workforce reduction - "we are going to be doing less with less". Most employees reacted with an expression of a parent who's kid had just told them a bold faced lie!
1% with most groups exempt
"Do the needful"
@f7 They care so much for us that they forced us to all be remote, then 5 years later force everyone back to office 5 days/week when it was always 3 days in office, while preventing remote employees a chance at promotion, while having a promotion freeze for 5 years, giving raises that are far below inflation rates, and of course the CONSTANT layoffs that haven't stopped since 2020!
Yup, they sure do care about us lowly people who are actually making the company money!
We are family is always my favorite lol...
Uh yeah... Dell aint MY family. I, like 100% of the people who work for Dell, work there simply for a paycheck and that is IT. Even though I love my job and actually do enjoy working for dell, i have my complaints for sure but at the end of the day, I'm there for a paycheck.
Be loyal to me and treat me well? Then sure, I'll be "all in" but until that happens, I'll happily take a job elsewhere if given the chance.
"we find that collaborating in person is most productive and bla bla bla..."
"we are family:"
"We are proud of what we have accomplished BUT, we must work even harder..." - without better compensation, better raises or promotions of course!
Basically, anything MD or JC's exec secretary says/writes in their/"his" stupid emails lol.
"MD's" last email stated we broke "records" - heard that plenty of times now.. - which is great! So quit with the quarterly layoffs and pass the benefits onto the people who MADE THAT HAPPEN! aka EVERYONE other than C levels, execs, JC and MD... start promoting, give bigger raises, etc... PROVE IT! Make us WANT to work harder because in all honesty, those bullsh!!t emails mean nothing without rewards. A 3.5% raise aint gonna cut it. The constant stress and anxiety of layoffs certainly won't cut it either.
“We care for our employees”
Crawl, walk, run or we are flying the plane while we build it 🤣🤣🤣
Playing chess not checkers
“The PC refresh cycle is coming. I like our hand.”
WFR Operations as a permanent, continually-active organization. Imagine building a standing organization with the sole purpose to repeatedly and efficiently throw your employees out like so much refuse.
A couple of years ago when the purge… er layoffs first began, a VP used the term Dell Family. I asked the question: “So which aunts and uncles are we getting rid of this week.”
She never used that term again. And some how I kept my job. I guess being a smart a$$ who actually adds value has its benefits.
I don’t mean to hurt the feelings of my former colleagues who got let go. I wish you the best of luck. I know that many of those let go were real contributors. The layoffs, at least the first wave, seemed like they were names drawn from a hat.
1 on 1 Business Update meeting. That was my favorite.
"I'm proud of the momentum that we made for this quarter."
(without explicitly saying what that momentum means or how it was accomplished)
Go all in
