Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Some thoughts and a solution?

They promoted remote while selling off land, buildings and assets.
Amenities were chopped and reduced. In some areas/sites they actually reduced the capacity by over 50%.

Individual cubes were broken down and turned into shared neighbourhoods.
Janitorial staff cut. Cafe staff cut. No penny unturned when it came to saving money at the cost of employees/amenities. Don't drink the water or eat the food on campus FYI.

Then, oops, RTO cause all the cool kids were doing it again.
But Amazon. But Google. No, those companies poured money into land/buildings/amenities.

The real crime is not RTO. It's reneging and taking from your employees and pretending like nothing happened.

At this point, if you had any ethics, you would just offer VSP and let the cards fall where they may.

But I know you are too cheap even to do that.

I am happy to go back to the office but don't expect me on the calls you schedule for when I would be driving home from work.

I can't wait to go back to actually ending my day when I leave the office again.

All business is concerned about costs. But Dell is penny-wise pound foolish. They are in a death spiral at this point.

  1. Dell should self-replace. The company needs new ideas/innovation from leadership.

The hope of severance is keeping people going. Half the employees are going to quiet quit when forced into the office.

Dell is the modern day innotech (office space). Cr-p company, cr-p leadership, cr-p products. Hope they get what’s coming to them.

From the earliest days, we were about cost. Look at the history of original locations as the company learned to survive and compete. Just going back to our roots.
