Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@p8 hey, don’t forget the extracurriculars!

@p8 no talent in that team at all.. one rep had me on a call to qualify a storage expansion where a customer had a disk failure and the system wasn't in support. Walking around like she owned the Brentford office and no brains to do her job

@eh it was always the young females that got promoted in that team purely for their looks. Trevor would never promote the hard working guys. That team is shambles.

I was in Dell NGSA for two years. That place is glorified adult day care run by mo--ns with massive egos in RR and HOPK. We were the same ones that got RTO'd on two days notice.

That whole org deserves to be laid off. When I saw my friends progress into field sales only to get laid off, I knew I had to go. It's a boiler room where you learn sleazy salesman tactics.

The grass was and is greener on the other side

@eh Honestly, it’s fine dropping them down market where it’s mostly tactical and just high volume churn. For large ent and DTS, just have the smart ones shadow experienced reps.

Big mistake dropping these kids in such important (revenue generating) positions. Zero experience and almost zero knowledge.

Many NextGen AEs are early career hires with limited real-world business experience. They are as green as the boogers on my booger wall. While confident, they often underestimate the complexity of managing Fortune 1000 customers, who typically expect seasoned partners with deep operational and industry knowledge.

Many NextGen AEs lack familiarity with Dell’s internal processes and long-standing customer relationships. They are early in their careers and still developing the enterprise-level skills required for complex accounts. These roles would be better suited to small-business segments until they gain more experience. I hate to say it, but many of them are about as d-mb as a box of rocks.

They only have limited knowledge about storage products and nothing else. They are promised field roles which limits growth for other inside sellers like TSRs, even if the TSR has more knowledge and experience.

Have you met the next gen coaches? What a bunch of zeros.

the 50 year olds that have been getting away with the same mediocre performance for years have entered the chat

Anyone notice they recruit these kids out of 4th tier feeder schools? Many of them have no interest in tech or business either. Leadership isn’t looking for the best and brightest, just meat for the grinder.

Are they being deployed to Inside Sales? Which area exactly.

The problem is that they're constantly told they're incredibly talented and the future of the Company.
They become arrogant and far too self-assured.... with poor results

I work with this one kid only hear from him when there’s a problem or when he needs help telling his boss something.

No thanks. No recognition. No shame.
