In my experience, sales leadership at Dell has become heavily weighted toward internal compliance, forecasting, quota enforcement, and protecting the company’s financial objectives, rather than developing and advocating for the people responsible for... — read more
Re: Today is your last day as my employer.
Re: Today is your last day as my employer. You have underperformed and not met expectations. All of the promises you made to lure me to this role, were never kept. Normally I would give you a 14-day PIP (2 weeks’ notice) before canning you, but you... — read more
Don't try to improve things
I've seen good people try to make things better repeatedly. They proposed ideas, challenged bad processes, and tried to push change, and all they got for that was being put on the next layoff list. The only way to survive this place is to keep your... — read more

Badging ?
What's the SOTU (State of the Union) on badging ? Still being covertly tracked ?
Why wish for Dell's downfall?
I get the anger, I've certainly felt it myself, but I don't understand people who want to see Dell crash and burn. What good would that actually do? It would saturate the job market, leave thousands upon thousands of families scrambling, and solve... — read more
Genuine question
I am very curious how a company like Dell, where layoffs happen almost every Monday, even survive for so long?! How do we support our products and quality?
How is SCORE looking?
Apparently Managers got access- is it accurate?
Technical lead
After some reorg and layoff rounds, we have changed many managers into technical lead role at DPD even though they know nothing on technical. Is that why VSO/Optimus/X400/Santorini/Hydra fail? Are we having layoff again in September or October?
Just to be clear, CSG folks have NO leg to stand on about ISG when they put a literal AI slop hardware button on their laptops.
Can yall like, actually st-fu now? Thanks.
Requesting to be put on WFR list.
Is there a WFR list open for Ireland?
Question for ISG Engineering?
What have you guys released in the past year? Not trolling, just wanted to get the list of new major releases. No need to respond if only maintenance releases or new hardware configurations. Looking for new major releases.

FRIDAY MORALE CHECK Anyone feeling positive?
Dell is a joke!
This company is in free fall thanks to the thousands of incompetent, clueless dolts we have running this company. Everyone knows it, including the competition. It's an embarrassment.
Dell Canada Layoffs
Anyone hear anything about Dell Canada layoffs? Heard rumours for Friday, we’ve had like no layoffs so far, at least in sales.
Executives are cluless.waiting for their stock to vest
A lot of executives VP, SVPs are waiting for their stock to vest. They have no incentives to help the field people with any of the problems, either it is Score, Support, Product issues. We are selling because of relationship and not because of any... — read more
What's the worst you've seen at Dell?
I'll start: I'll paraphrase because I can't remember the exact sentence but it was a director that said something along the lines that he will "get more involved" again after being a total no show for the least 5 years and later when the culling... — read more
Sales- how’s everyone budgeting with constant draws
How are you supposed to budget with so many draws, and not knowing if you are going to have to payback all of that money?
MB Town Hall
Does anyone know what was said at the MB town hall today?
Stress leave
Does stress leave pay anything? I can't afford to quit, but I can't keep going like this either.
Surprised that there is no big bang in media about SCORE
I’m really surprised that no media outlet is reporting on the shady business of the SCORE “outage” and how dell tries to avoid paying its employees the commission due yet the leadership gets their big paycheck without a problem while normal people... — read more

Where are Tell Dell results?
Did your manager present the results to your team? Cause it seems the Epstein files have a greater chance of being released than Tell Dell
The bottom of the barrel
We're hiring people who lack basic skills. There are plenty of smart young candidates out there, so why are we scraping the bottom?
Random thoughts
For those who survived because they create the best KPI reports and charts, what will they be reporting now that everyone has been cut? What happens to the unused tokens, survivors get double now? If remote IC employees were cut how did remote... — read more

Why are people so chicken shiiit scared to post names, initials, products, groups, or orgs on an anonymous site? These FCKRS have destroyed 10s of thousands of lives. They should be called out. Call them out!!
Honestly, what’s the reason behind all these layoffs?
From our product team, almost everyone is gone except a tiny handful. The product is basically dead. I’m hearing bit cuts from other groups too, though not as extreme as ou Is this just a headcount reduction exercise? If so, what happens to new... — read more

Toxic leadership at Dell
Why does Dell insist on laying off good employees, but keeping incompetent leaders? Can someone please explain that? It makes no sense. Some of these leaders, especially in ISG, have no background or experience in the very discipline they are... — read more
Layoffs continue today
Many members of my (former as I have been laid off in this wave) have unscheduled :30 1x1s with the boss today. I think that this is the first time I’ve seen the layoffs for a week continue into Tuesday.
so is dell on CV as toxic as it is inside?
In past i did some interviews as technical person helping manager.. We never expected great things or truth from certain known big places and 9/10 times it was justified. That one person who got stuck there due to various reasons.. I felt sorry for... — read more
