Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Ww completing tell Dell. Is coming...

Do not join Dell. They fire their best people who threatens the status quo and ancient your majesty kiss my butt family and friends only work style.

Dell hires you to do things that the current hounds inside cannot do. And that means EVERYTHING.

When I worked at Dell I never completed those surveys. They add nothing to your job so why bother?

Sorry but anyone over the age of 50 ( I'm 55) should know this already.

The Tell Dell story of BDC storage is the biggest story of harassment and injustice in the history of Tell Dell. Everyone in BDC storage knows about it and some very good engineers were hounded out of the company by a vindictive management. The group Director was laid off recently due to some other political equations. The director and lady manager are happily settled in BDC doing nothing and exploiting the system and harassing people as usual. The director does nothing other than playing candy crush in his mobile from morning to evening. Dell HR and legal are bogus.

Be careful about these Tell Dell surveys. In BDC storage team one horribly incompetent lady manager was given Tell Dell feedback. Her score was in 20 percentile. Instead of taking this feedback in right spirit her manager who is a director and the group director openly started abusing the team. The team complained to HR. HR collected evidence and let go these two after warning. Once the HR were out of the picture these three started abusing team with bigger force eventually forcing 80% of the team to leave. HR did nothing. Instead these two evil Directors promoted the incompetent lady manager as a senior manager. Be careful about Tell Dell.

The only appropriate way to respond to those surveys, is to raise as little attention as possible. Be a "team player". Show your support - feign it, if you have to - but never, ever assume they will take kindly to your "constructive criticism". Even if it is well-intentioned. (I learned this the hard way - can you tell?)

What people don't realize about these surveys is that they're administrative nightmares for managers. If anything out of the ordinary pops up, then meetings must be called -- above and below -- to quantify, analyze, address, and come up with remedial steps (if needed). The whole post-survey kraken gets unleashed, and putting that genie back in the bottle just doesn't happen. Anything weird gets splashed on the manager's record, and nobody wants that to happen to them.

So, even if you provide helpful feedback, if it's anything out of the ordinary that catches people's attention, it creates more busy-work for everyone, which never goes anywhere, just p*sses people off, and marks your manager as a potential problem.

Best just to say the bare minimum, tell them what they want to hear, and get back to doing real work.
