Yes, I need this job
No, I don’t like it, and I don’t really appreciate it. Working here has become so boring and exhausting, with the constant drama of never-ending cuts that I’ve grown indifferent to because they’re just part of the background noise now. There’s not a... — read more
All In was the response to Tell Dell

Does any exec actually care about any workers?
It surely does not feel so. It feels everyone is here just to milk it as much as possible and as long as possible. Any collateral damage along the way? Well, who the fu-k cares.

What’s Ki-ling Dell’s Culture? The Numbers Don’t Lie
ENPS has dropped by 47% over two years. Last year, the leadership deflected concerns by pointing to a lower industry benchmark; a weak and evasive response at best. Now, the situation has deteriorated to the point where they don’t even have the... — read more
