With more than 20 direct reports per manager, it will be interesting to see how many merit increases are actually awarded this year. I suspect a lot of people won’t be thrilled.

Only sticking around to shove a 1 score on the 'would you recommend' question, something of which I've never done in my tears as it reflects badly on my direct leader. Given they are absent and chasing the same dreams we are, my head says who cares... — read more 

So let me make sure I understand my situation: I’m being required to come into the office five days a week… while carrying a quota that doesn’t feel real… in a role where success depends as much on internal decisions as actual selling… while helping... — read more 

You know, MD says it best: "Vote with your dollars." We should have organized and gotten representation years ago, but most people were brainwashed into thinking the company actually cared. They thought, "They'll never sc--w us; it’s illegal!"... — read more 

We have key positions that need to be backfilled that have been open for over a year now. Are we not hiring at all or is this just our manager not giving a damn to fight for it?

I work in fed sales and we just started smart price this quarter. How is it working for everyone? Our pricing seems to have jumped A LOT over what we have done in the past, which has been margin rich. I would guess they actually have zero fed data... — read more

I realize the USA is 30-40 years behind other countries in terms of protecting employee rights from abusive and unfair working conditions, but has anyone looked into the legality of this new comp plan? Is it even legal?

Seems like 99% of the posts are always sales related and/or ISG/CSG related... Does anybody else here NOT work for either of those BU's lol? Anybody in SRO maybe?

My guess is they will roll out a policy that says you HAVE to be IN office for at LEAST 3 or maybe even 4 hours/day but no longer than 4. I honestly don't think they will do an 8 hour in office type thing simply because the majority of competitors... — read more 

Historically it's always been February and August when Dell does their heavy "cleanup" and then with light sweeps in between. Mav is behind schedule and I'm 100% positive it will not be ready by May - when JC wants it to be lol... It's too... — read more 

As sales we have targets set at the start of a half or quarter depending on BU. Once we accept this new target we are taking money from own pockets unless we over achieve on numbers which is unlikely for a lot of people since targets are... — read more 

Is when all the lies are discovered about company’s growth profits and margins

We work for a greedy, immoral company. I will openly admit that I am too nervous to move after 5 years. I am a coward. This new comp plan is the final straw for me. And before you knock sales people, remember that 40% of our salary is at risk and... — read more 

The time has come for Dell employees and the company to realize the future won’t include either

Has anyone received training invites for the one dell way initiative? I thought they were supposed to roll out today.

Oracle is reportedly considering cutting up to 30,000 jobs as US banks pull back from financing its AI-driven data-centre projects, creating one of the largest potential layoffs in the technology sector in recent years. The move comes amid rising... — read more 

Please share you opinions on Hydra progress. Can Hydra survive in 2026?

If so, what groups have been hit so far?

This is trending right now and I heard many 121s were already sent. So wondering if you’d share what severance packages look like in Canada, Toronto based if possible! Thank you

Interested to know everyone's opinion of the new comp plan. Call out the specifics you dislike.

Also, I am assuming it varies by geography, is that included. Thank you.

It's been barely manageable as-is for a while now. My team has been gutted several times already, and nobody paid attention or followed up. My manager isn't as bad as some, but you can only do so much with the little you have left.

I didn't get the email this time around. Are more cuts due this quarter? What are people thinking?

Several Q1 org changes appear to be in progress and are yet to be announced. The announcements are expected tomorrow. It also looks like Marrs is moving back to the U.S. Please share any changes you’ve observed within your org.

I’m an ISAE2, and our pay was cut to $19.61/hour with a 50/50 quota plan. This company keeps moving backward.

One of our strongest Delivery teams were all transfered to contingent workers on Friday without any notice or consultation. Now they work for CapGemini. I can only imagine how this is impacting morale. My heart goes out to this team, you constantly... — read more 

Thoughts?

Dell is about to get broken off

Haven't heard much about it lately other than the OG deadline was pushed to May but, am curious if that is even achievable.

I always thought ISG = Inside Sales Group and CSG = Channel Sales Group, but apparently neither are sales related... Still don't know what they are but, why are those groups seemingly always hit so hard? What did they do to pi-s off the Dell "gods?"

Among current and previous employees. Current workforce mostly has quietly quit and Dell is going to be squeezed by current suppliers in 2026, deaths by a thousand paper cuts.

My son is friends with the son of an ex Finance VP at Dell whom quit last year. We were chatting about dell and he basically said that the company is run by 4 people, none of which are MD. JC being one of them, Doug Schmitt I think was another and I... — read more 

About this time on Sundays is when I start dreading going to work at dell. This will be my last year at dell one way or the other

Does anyone know the current Severance package in the US?

Looks like big hiring going on in Data Protection and Data Resiliency. Looks like they're beefing up that area...even after the laid off many people. See posting on LinkedIn.

Interesting that the entire Dell Ethics and Compliance page has been disabled. Also, the page for reporting ethics violations about people to a third party (“anonymously”) goes to a 404 Error page. I guess ethics don’t matter any more at Dell. No way... — read more

I just got my buainess update email. I was waiting for it long time. Cheers!!

Nothing has changed. Every year, at the same time, the horrid feeling of what’s to come. Here’s my 2 cents: It’s only getting worse in tech. Corporate doesn’t care about you. HR doesn’t care about you. Yes, HR is ‘secretly’ invited to the meetings... — read more
