Messed up hours
I don't know if this is just a problem for my team or a Dell problem, but expectations here are objectively unrealistic. We are expected to work long hours, to work weekends, to work holidays, and all that to finish in a few weeks something that... — read more
Stockholm Syndrome.
Feel like a lot of people suffer from this at Dell. Staff are crazy unhappy but wont speak up or are afraid of management.Sure things are uncertain in the world but why stay if your so unhappy? Life is short so why spend it as just an unhappy number... — read more
When do you expect the next round of layoffs at Dell?
Who will be affected? When is gonna happen? What do you know or expect?
What is the ideal employee for Dell?
My personal opinion is that goals are mostly unrealistic. Do you also have a feeling that managers are losing touch with reality, which they show every day with their expectations of employees? Sometimes I wonder what they want from us? The ideal... — read more
rumor has it
Rumor has it that RR and OKC offices are going to see many pinks slips in June.
C'mon Dell, we need innovations!
Without innovation, I really don’t know where this company is going. I would like something to change for the better, but I doubt that Dell will ever have a noteworthy innovation again. There are many reasons for that but I think the biggest reason... — read more
Dell laptops are getting less competitive
Today I am going to BestBuy and I am checking three laptops with touch screens in the range $750-$950. Found three Lenovo, HP Envy and Dell Inspiron. Dell Inspiron was the worst from the bunch - clunky with lots of plastics which felt like are about... — read more
Guess which MA building is finally closing
It's been a long time coming. Can't say anyone is surprised.
Stock Downgrade…. Again
For Dell Technologies shareholders, it’s another day, and another downgrade. One day after Morgan Stanley chopped its ratings on both Dell (ticker: DELL) and HP Inc. (HPQ) on concerns about slowing demand for personal computers,, and Barclays... — read more
It is better to have skills than connections in management
This is the 100th time that I have become convinced that this place is good only for those who have some connections in upper management. Investing effort is not so much important, talent is irrelevant too. Doesn't matter, I'll find a new job, but... — read more
Is Virtustream going going gone ?

Do not be left behind.
Skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been. HW, legacy SW, and services (labor intensive with very thin margins) is where the puck has been. AI, machine learning, big data, cloud is where the puck is going to be. Do not be... — read more
Some of you need to retire
There are quite a few people who've been here for far too long and have lost their drive. Most of you could easily retire already, so I can't understand why you don't. If I was in that position, I couldn't wait to be able to spend more time with my... — read more
Why are so many people leaving Dell?
Why so much attrition here at Dell? Why are so many people leaving?
Staff cuts.
With all the push online by management. Premier portals and push towards apex. Surely sale's numbers are going to be reduced.Wages in Europe are a lot higher than the staff in Hyderabad I'm sure.Why pay an average wage when Dell can reduce costs and... — read more
Dell is not a leader anymore
Dell is not a leader in anything other then giving each other high fives and posting on Linkdin about employee weekends and being a victim or some sad story or some irrelevant useless promotion with endless credentials which is still useless. There... — read more
WHy DELL has huge revenue and almost non-existent net income?
Revenue 27.99B Net income 2M On 28 Billions of revenue shouldn't one expect 3-4 Billions of Net income? Is this company profitable or it is cooking its books?
Back to the office observations so far
Since we've been back a few weeks now, observations are the buildings are 95% empty, the cafeteria stinks (really..barbeque every day), the workstations are ill equipped with cheap keyboards, monitors and mouse. Most people have invested in a good... — read more

Are you too excited about "the evolution of our operating model that drives acceleration of our growth engines while continuing to build momentum in the core?" This was probably the most coherent part of a message I recently got from one of our... — read more
Improving relationship with superior
Instead of blaming your manager why not work with them to make both of your lives better. You may have more in common with her or him than you know. This made me laugh because I've been trying to build a good work relationship with my manager... — read more
Everybody seems wildly unhappy here
I don't know if it’s the lack of challenging assignments, no recognition for work well done, or something else entirely, but it's obvious that so many of us are not happy at Dell anymore. I have to say when Sunday becomes stressful because it's the... — read more
Useless managers
Many feel that their manager is completely useless. Maybe Dell should do a survey on why such an opinion about managers is spread in this company. I think the answers to the question "why do you think your manager is useless" would be quite... — read more
What happened to morale at this place?
It is obvious that it is easier than ever to get another, better job and that is why no one is overly interested in doing their best here. This company really needs changes, because morale is worse than ever. I do not believe that anything other... — read more

Is anyone even making an effort to retain talent?
Feels like over 50% of my org left for new higher-paying jobs elsewhere within the last 6 months, and this is BEFORE the annual bonus payout opens the floodgates to more resignations that will likely take the remaining 50%. Has anyone heard of any... — read more
It’s sad to watch
It’s sad to watch… they treat the experienced employees like garbage til they quit or get laid off, and then fling complex projects that require years of experience at whatever unfortunate newbie fresh out of college is left. Then they get confused... — read more

Imagine what would happen if revenue was shrinking?
Revenue has been consistently increasing and we've been losing people to layoffs and seeing our benefits shrink despite it. Imagine what would happen if the revenue was instead going down. If things are as bad as they are for regular employees while... — read more
Sometimes I feel sorry for new hires
Throwing employees into the fire... I really don't know what to think about it. And Dell seems to be doing it constantly? I see young people who are very disappointed with the company right from the start because they were immediately assigned to... — read more
Learn from the past
From an average employee's point of view, Dell cannot afford to lose people. Indeed, it would be a debacle if those few remaining talented employees who are still there were to leave or get cut. However, when did our leadership ever make logical... — read more
