I miss my old colleagues
Every company has to change, but the problem is that I don't see Dell changing for the better. Today I am quite depressed because another colleague has left. Now this feels like a completely different company for me. All the colleagues I really... — read more
No downside
If implemented fully at Dell, the vaccine mandate will force some people to quit. Not too many, but enough to slow down any possible layoffs that were coming our way (or maybe even cancel them altogether.) As somebody who's been fully vaccinated for... — read more
No jab no job
Good way to thin out the difficult team members. Sorry "layoff"
restructured or forced out?
Follow your intuition- Don't be fooled by trolls who make sarcastic comments! This is NOT FAKE NEWS! There are layoffs happening- call it restructuring or whatever! A SIGNIFICANT number of tenured employees over 45 of all genders were impacted. AND... — read more
Elevate yourself, invest in yourself
In which ways are you expanding your skillset? People like to complain because it’s a way to vent their frustrations about this place. This is good because others who intend to work here can also be made aware of what problems people are facing here... — read more
Why Dell stock actually dropped after publishing the so called "blockbuster" quarterly results?
This smells of tuning numbers and creative accountancy.. Or at least the investors think so. They say Tom Sweet has artistic mind. What is your take?
Layoffs around the corner?
I’ve heard some rumors that there could be significant layoffs soon, but hopefully they’ll just remain rumors. Some managers are leaving so there is a lot of speculation going around, however, unfortunately, rumors often come true. I’m not... — read more
Why we're always hiring
Lots of openings because they are always having under-the-radar layoffs of older and/or higher paid employees, as well as offshoring and replacing American workers. This is exactly what's been happening. If we don't hear about major layoffs that's... — read more
Will Dell force Covid Vaccination?
I can't wait to see! Will be very, very interesting
By how many percent do you think Dell will blow past estimates?
My guess: by 20%. Dell will report 20% higher earnings than the estimates and the stock will jump by at least 15%. Buy Dell stock now otherwise you will regret big time! Go big or go home, people!
Dell, can you keep promises?
Employees are given lots of promises but Dell delivers none of that...... I don’t see those good changes.
Has the atmosphere ever been more tense?
Everything will be much clearer after the earnings report, however, judging by the atmosphere... the future is gloomy. I hope I’m not right, but to me personally it seems like the layoffs are around the corner.
Earnings on Aug 26, 2021
Earnings are on Aug 26, 2021, then we will know how things are going , in the meantime most of the posts here are complete BS
These kinds of expectations have to be squashed

Early retirement can't come soon enough
I really wish I didn't have to wait for another two years. I'm stressed out as it is and the closer I get to the date, the more I worry about being laid off. I used to enjoy my job but now the constant threat of layoffs has taken all the fun out of... — read more
Thousands of contracts highlight quiet ties between Big Tech and U.S. military
Over the past two years, thousands of tech company employees have taken a stand: they do not want their labor and technical expertise to be used for projects with the military or law enforcement agencies.
We are going to He-l here in Dell...

When will we know?
Cryptic, sarcastic, paranoid, speculative, does anyone honestly know if whatever "it's" (WFR, RIF, REORG,GTM3.0) called is either happening now or really soon? Most of us checking here seriously wanna know- for realz! ..and hopefully will a whole... — read more
Can you imagine yourself in this company next year?
I can’t and unfortunately, I’m not optimistic that next year could be nice at Dell. I’m willing to accept a much worse option just to not stay here anymore. This is not a company, this is a dinosaur.
Why so many reorgs?
Dell could soon become better known for its constant reorgs and layoffs happening in silence, than for new products. Job stability is a utopia, but here I am really tired of being in constant fear of what the new reorganization will bring. Do... — read more
Finding a new position as software developer
Being out of the interview game, I have noticed how hard it is for a software developer to find a new position. The interview process is lengthy, inclusive of Hackerearth tests to even get a first interview. Once an interview is granted, you need to... — read more
What do you guys think of the NPS score?
When I joined Dell through an acquisition, in the first Tell Dell survey we all filled it honestly - the good and the bad. As a result, my unit was one of the lowest scoring in Dell, and we immediately heard about it from management - our culture is... — read more
Retirement anniversary
When I retired I had 25+ years in and was in my late 50s. During my whole career I kept my skills updated so I left at the top of my game. Once in a awhile when I am bored I’ll take a consulting gig part-time just to keep busy. I also come here to... — read more
I am done
I have never quit in my life. I was laid off twice, but never in my life did I think I would be walking out on a decent job of my own volition. But when you are having serious problems with a belligerent and borderline abusive manager and HR is doing... — read more
They cannot prevent a decline in reputation
The company's reputation is very bad. Do they think that by doing everything not to trigger news and or WARN act, they will avoid an even bigger drop in reputation? I believe that the reputation is one of the many reasons why they are trying in all... — read more
First time for me
I’m pretty pi---d right now. A coworker just claimed credit for my contributions on a project we were working on. This is a first for me and I’m not sure how to handle it. Do I call him on it and get accused of not being a “team player” or do I let... — read more
Really? Are you sure?
Is this for real? Is there a WARN? Are managers under NDA? Is this a lay-off or a reorganization? What is the severance? Most importantly, are they accepting volunteers?
Back to work, ISRs
Sorry team but they want us back in the office. Can we do it? https://austonia.com/big-tech-returns-to-office
Dell in 2000
Did you know that Dell in 2000 was the third richest US tech company in terms of revenue? It was more powerful than Microsoft and look at it now - it is less than 1/20th of the value of Microsoft. sic transit gloria mundi.. How about time travel... — read more
When you feel unhappy that you didn't get layoff...
(like me), it just means you’re in the wrong company. I got a pretty good offer from another company, although not much better than here, but my intention is to leave this here as soon as possible. I'm debating whether to wait a little longer and... — read more
I should never have come here
Unfortunately, it's late now. Looking back, it seems to me that with the hard work and effort I put in here, I could have had a much better career somewhere else. I am leaving while I am still marketable. I wonder how many more people feel they have... — read more

I am wondering...
Why DELL does not have an AI agent on every Dell PC similar to Siri of Apple, Cortana of MSFT, and Google? What a pleasure would be to start your working day by turning on you Dell Inspiron and shout out "Hey DELL what is the temperature today?" or... — read more
Those who wait to be laid off are loosers
Do not wait to be laid off, do not be a looser. Be proactive, search for a new job while you are still employed. If you are jobless the chances to land in a new good job are reduced by 90%. Get ready for complicated interviews, study and improve your... — read more
No actual employees make the most cash for Dell.
Double Non-Taxation is to prevent companies from paying tax twice in two different countries on the same profit. Dell, however, uses the Netherlands to avoid paying income taxes in either place. The world’s third-largest personal- computer maker has... — read more
Is it still possible to build a career here?
A long-timer here. Back when we started we looked at Dell as a place in which we could build a good career ( and a lot of us succeeded ). Now I don’t see that enthusiasm about staying here long-term. Are younger folks that much in a different mindset... — read more
