Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@e5 You mean those who do more than they are paid to do so the rich people get richer? No thanks

If you're remote you can be canned, if you're onsite you can be canned. The true One Dell Way is relentless WFR. The only people really safe are the 2 at the top making one sh!tty call after another.

@db Just because it is that way on ypue team doesn't mean it's that eay everywhere. On my team the underperfomers are pretty evenly distributed across in office and remote.

I hope for once they just target low performers

good.

You're not safe if you're remote. You're not safe if you're not remote. Welcome to Dell

@db no one cares.

The job market has too much supply with not enough demand.

They’ll replace those remote employees with a bright eye’d bushy tailed new hire who will happily attend the office.

No one is irreplaceable. No one.

One of the dumest things i have read on here. Think about it, you probaly spend that "50%" extra on commuting and office breakfeast / Lunches....

As i stated in a previous post on here, our top performers are all 100% remote, so good luck taking on all that extra work.

If your senior director is driving 3 hours a day to maintain their in office status, then yes. WFR for remotes in your team is coming.

If you need the job, start attending. If you don’t need the job, start applying elsewhere. The job market is quite harsh right now. Might take a minute to find something else.

How about they try enforcing policy that is already in place instead of changing rules each year

Poor dead horse takes another needless beating. Try and move on from this topic...please

I work remotely. I day trade while working for my bonus. LFG!!!

Only reason more RTO people were hit because the low-grade ones ran back to RTO in hopes of saving their jobs.

Moving forward, once dell has exhausted removing the in-office low performers they will solely target remotes.

Anyone who thinks they are remote and safe are totally out of touch with reality.

This is called denial and it's a coping mechanism.

yes, they are doing a power and control thing if it isn't obvious by now, they want fewer employees, thru attrition preferably, they want the remaining employees to be nodding their head in the office, this on the surface is more important than results. but .. they do happen to need results, and they're struggling to realize this a bit, but it has a funny way of coming back around, this is where you have the total power, as you deliver the results

if you have the stomach for it, just keep being remote, don't try to coffee badge, just stay away, yes you might get let go, congrats, but it's harder to do then most realize, hr is very risk adverse, to a fault, legally hard. So, be perceived as vital for your work, to your manager, document your success well ... remember politics are malleable, if you can play the game, be a little difficult and work the way that works for you, let them threaten you, just politely say no and pivot to the work, results in the conversation.. maybe they'll do you a favor and let you go, but remember, core work and results are still king, if you know your worth and make it known to stakeholders that matter, you can probably just keep doing whatever the he-l you want..

I think 18 of the 20 people on my team are remote. My manager is. Most were remote before the pandemic. No fault of their own that Dell did a 180 on the policy they had pushed since 2010. I just can’t see them being targeted. New positions will be on-site, no one questions that. But getting rid of top performers because they don’t live near an office is id--tic.

again...total BS.

In our last team meeting our boss came right out and said remotes have a target on their backs. He also said that badge swipes are getting visibility at the c suite level and that there's nothing he can do to protect non-remotes with less than 90% compliance.

personally, i don't think anything will change. i keep seeing remotes get raises, promotions everything in my area. All the was total BS. Remotes remained while people going into the office 5 days a week were let go. Oh, if it matters, the remotes are Indian and then ones being let go are not....just saying.

Bro, we discussed this topic 100 times already, just read past posts, it is still valid
