In my eight months here, I've noticed that despite so many meetings, the collaboration is all but nonexistent. Some employees keep everything to themselves and don’t help the team grow, while others are just here temporarily before jumping to their... — read more 

What's to keep employees from staying at home and boycotting RTO? My direct manager has worked from home the past 2 weeks with no explanation.

If I were to be laid off, I'd return them but unwillingly. I have 2 systems from Dell, a corporate phone, and a few other items issued to me. I know for a fact that Dell can simply de-activate your machine's access to VPN's and such and it wouldn't... — read more

I have heard this date mentioned, are there layoffs on that date ?

so, why is there so much H1B at Dell, or even in other countries, when there are a ton of US based workers that have been laid off. I thought the purpose of H1B is to use folks from other countries when there aren't enough qualified US people to do... — read more 

If anything?

this whole bs thing started in what, early March or so? I went in MAYBE 3 days/week but averaged out more like 1-2/week lol. I was told by my manager that I should probably start going in more to stay off a "list," so i did. I'd go swipe my badge and... — read more 

It’s so difficult to communicate with each other. People ignore emails, Teams, ghost you in a middle of a Sev1 situation and what’s best is that there are zero consequences. And do I blame them? No. I just su-k it up. Because how can I? At least I... — read more

That’s just how it is - layoffs, all the time. We probably won’t even have to wait until next Friday, or Sept 2, or whatever date is floating around, to find out.

Why do I see posts on this site and then a few days later only be taken down and disappear?? I saw a post earlier about someone complaining taking kickbacks .. came here to see again and it’s gone. Is dell monitoring and deleting posts ?

Wondering if anyone who has posted on here have had their post come back to haunt them? Have questions but don't want to ask them if it could come back to me...

Could anyone tell me if country-to-country movements or applications for positions in other countries are currently blocked?

We all know leadership’s goal is to cut us down to bare bones. Why waste time and energy on PIPs, ffs? Just to save a couple of bucks in a sea of layoffs?

You can still see your badge swipe totals in workday, but is that even being monitored anymore?

Dell stock is all in on being garbage. Hope you cashed out when you had the chance. The C level suite needs to look at actually improving the business instead of just the stock price.

What the subject said….

Oops

Since the company can't even send a godda-n email letting us know, does anyone know why the badge readers at 176 stopped requiring a pin? Not that I'm complaining but I'm watching a bunch of buffoons still enter pins while it flashes red.
