Dell hovered around 100k for years and we did perfectly well at the time. We can do it again, as long as the right people are removed and the real talent stays. If we're being fully honest, the majority of Dell's problems come from overhiring. Once that mistake is fully corrected, we will be back on the right path.

yes, EMC employees, be gone please
Dell has zero diversity of ideas. Its a cult of toxic bullying, retribution for any pushback and double standards
Dell is going to lose so much talent later this summer when employees leave because they can’t move up in their career because they are remote. I am currently a remote worker and won’t be sticking around too much longer because it’s insane you can’t get paid more due to being a remote employee. Dell is going to sc--w themselves doing this. The last 6 months Dell has been going downhill.
Seems like HR or some Dell higher-up has contracted a script kiddie to downvote each comment with the same number of upvotes it has?
DELL was loosing money and with $22bln debt when acquiring EMC
so much for 'doing great'
Posts like these are just put up to stir the pot and illicit a response. The poster is probably laughing away at all the drama they have stirred up.
in my group we are being told we don't fit the culture...whatever that means.
Regarding the "Realistically, we can lose more employees" comment...
I was at Dell for 10 years and saw the best of the best leave or get pushed out and, many times, be replaced by the young, the green & the cheap. There were also boot-lickers like you who found a safe corner to hide in or kissed the right a-s in order to hang around.
Our only agreement is that the workforce was inflated and there was much overlap, esp. in the field, otherwise yours are the words of a Dell cultist, who cheered the loudest at meetings so management would notice you, su-ked at your job and were hated by your teammates. BTW that "mistake" you're referring to in your comment is actual people who supported themselves and their families... friends & teammates who had their lives turned upside down because of incompetence at the highest level.
PS, there is no "we", only you and them and they will cull you in a second when your number comes up... then all that a-s-kissing and corporate toadyism was for nothing.
The right talent is the first to leave. They either got laid off because they cost the most or left on their own because they’re the most marketable. Our department has been bleeding talent nonstop for over a year now, usually people who have been here for 10 or 20 years or more who would have happily stayed at Dell forever if this place hadn’t gone to he-l. So much irreplaceable legacy knowledge gone for good due to executive greed wanting the stock line to go up for a little bit. We are the IT equivalent of Boeing planes with parts flying off in the sky.
Dell is outsourcing and doing cheap labor. They have already let go of too much talent. Very woke company
and lets us guess you are some of the right talent that dell should keep. This sounds like something that dell bone head manager I reported to would say. If employees could see the resumes of the average dell manager, they would be surprised. dell has a lot of managers who never darkened the door of a college or technical school.
Culturally, Dell is in trouble. There is little, if any, true collaboration between different specialties. Too many conflicting agendas and strategies. "Better together" has been a tag line, but in reality, there's little incentive or requirement to work together. Core account teams get paid on products that cut out specialty teams, for example.
Sure, we can lose more employees, and we will, until the real problem is fixed. Everyone isn't moving the same direction, and the strategy has gaps you can drive a NVidia or SuperMicro semi-truck through.
Okay JWC
Most people find unnecessary acronyms annoying
But that's TBE
The issue is they are not targeting the actual problem. A few of the best PM's were let go, meanwhile some SA's that cannot seem to provide even remotely workable solutions get to stay. Sure, Dell can lose more and not be affected much. But they are not doing it the right way. The C-Suits are completely disconnected from what happens at the bottom.
" ... as long as the right people are removed and the real talent stays ... "
You will then end up with 20K and talent gone ...
