Nothing to really look forward to in 2026. You will have a company looking to layoff all year and Dell financials will look to suffer in tightening margin pressures against Dell. Ho Ho Ho Merry XMAS
Thank you Dell for laying me off
You know how they say “it’s a blessing in disguise”? That’s what a layoff at Dell is. It’s a blessing actually. If you want actual work, growth, no-nonsense culture, it’s better to run away from Dell. Recently I joined a new company after my layoff... — read more

2 job offers - Dell vs another company… US
I have been trying to decide which job offer to accept and have been using this forum to try and understand salary structure and promotion opportunity. From what I can see, it seems like once you accept a job at Dell you are stuck with minimal pay... — read more

The Storm Is Coming
Looks like the next few months are going to be a slow-motion collapse. Leadership might bail, CSG will keep bleeding out, and the AI server sugar high won’t last. When the bubble pops, the stock could crater below 70. RevOps won’t save us, and the... — read more
When fear hardens our perspective
It is worth reflecting on what it means when positivity is met with hostility. When someone expresses gratitude for their work or appreciation for the people they work with and that expression is dismissed or downvoted simply because others are... — read more
Finally landed an offer
It’s not bad, but it’s nothing special either. Still, after months of searching for alternatives, it feels like a win. And I really, really need to leave Dell behind. This past year has been something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Fingers... — read more
Can’t sell raise price, the Dell way of business

Dell, AI and Tribal Knowledge
As much as Dell keeps talking about implement all aspects of AI, it is still the tribal knowledge dependent tech company I've ever worked at. It's what makes me believe that all the AI evangelicalism is mostly to push server and storage hardware. I... — read more
Still using Bain
Imagine all the money our SVPs and exec staff make and Bain still runs the company. A substantial number of decisions are all based off Bain recommendations. We could save millions upon millions of dollars if we got rid of most of our SVP layer... — read more
Same leaders new positions in ISG and CSG

Am I the only person who's actually mostly happy at Dell?

This is what Dell has resorted to
Laid off a year ago after being there 15 years (EMC brought into Dell). I had a larger quota (20-30 million a half but I will admit I was semi over paid compared to market averages)...but I was lucky and was immediately employed by a competitor a... — read more

How long di you have to work at Dell to get the extra PTO/Vacation hours?
Why is Dell still sponsoring H1bs?
I still have no clue why Dell is sponsoring and renewing H1b Visas while there is unprecedented unemployment in the tech sector right now. They should stop renewing any H1b Visas.
What am I doing wrong?
I’ve done everything people tell you to do, kept my skills current, paid for a professional resume, stayed active with networking, and kept applying consistently, yet I’m still sitting here with no offers after more than six months. The interviews I... — read more
Refresh those quotes!
Prices go up but your modifier goes down down down! Make less money and retire less quota with higher prices! Eat those costs right from your own wallet! Math doesn’t math in the world of Dell!
Merry Christmas
Hope all Dell workers and previous Dell workers have a wonderful XMAS. In 2026 you want to rid yourself of Dell and ensure you sell any Dell stock you might own...

When Brand Unification Becomes Brand Confusion: A Leadership Failure
Dell’s recent brand unification—and the apparent reversal back to older brands next year—stands as a textbook example of how not to manage brand strategy. Brand changes are expensive by design. They consume money, time, internal focus, and customer... — read more
The Dell culture.
The Dell culture has taken a turn for the absolute worst. I’ve never seen anything like it. They allow complete disrespect go unanswered by HR. Breed a toxic and narcissistic management environment. Allow for people to just sh!t all over each... — read more

Management are political pawns
Well if you are in management now at Dell you are just a political pawn. They’ve totally incapacitated you to make decisions on your own and actually drive any innovation. If you can get out you should, I don’t know anyone who just likes to make... — read more
Counting down to the holiday break
I know it's a little sad, but I am desperately looking forward to that week. It feels like the only thing getting me through this month. I don't even remember when this job started being so bad for my head. I just know it is.
Welp, merry Christmas to all and we survived another year of layoffs!
Until February...
Did the massive PC refresh happen yet?
The layoffs are the only thing you can count on at Dell!

Morale’s completely gone, and it’s awful
