Resist RTO my fellow warriors of Dell, who have battled in the digital frontier from the confines of your homes. A decree has been cast down by the financial lords of our enterprise, a call to abandon our fortresses of solitude and to gather within... — read more 

A friend asked me recently how much of a pay bump I'd need to consider leaving Dell for another company. He was quite shocked when I told him I'd happily take a pay cut to get out of here. I wasn't joking. The only things I'd need are proof of good... — read more 

... and something smells awfully fishy about it. For starters , Dell has very obfuscated business model ; my question is - does somebody understand how Dell is making money in those so-called Blockbuster quarters. My feeling is that Dell is much... — read more 

If your manager tries to force you to choose hybrid, tell them you're staying remote. Make them fire you. It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

The gain in SP yesterday is larger than HPE and Netapp market cap combined. Must be doing something right.

There is a massive brain drain happening and it's been going on for months if not years. The people who are leaving are exactly those the company wants out because they've been here the longest and they're paid the most. With this happening, why do... — read more 

Anyone remember when the UAW stepped up and fought for Ford employees in TX to get their piece of the $25 billion in revenue last fall?. Must be nice.

Does anyone have word on next round of cuts and what regions? UK sales region and not hearing much. Seems to be they are cutting commision to push us out but would like peoples thoughts. Happy to go if getting a payout as the its a toxic place to... — read more 

Support for Premier is getting WFR later in the month. Sales is getting their access back to control Premier - this time in DSA.

But he doesn 't own you. Don't give him and his cronies at the hedge funds buying up Dell the satisfaction. Stay remote!

Unions should press companies to use AI in ways that complement rather than displace workers, and that means pushing for enhanced training to help employees work with AI. Unions should of course keep up their efforts to unionize tech... — read more 

The RTO requirements are flawed. Dell requires 3 days a week but no set amount of time in the office. That seems like a big gap in the strategy. There will be people staying an hour or two and then leaving. What will that accomplish? At some... — read more 

We appreciate your late nights and your weekend hours without any extra pay. You will be rewarded in the future! We promise {wink}

Stay strong. Stay remote everyone.

Dell beats fourth-quarter estimates on AI server demand https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dell-beats-fourth-quarter-revenue-210501687.html

Three days is a nice gesture. However, I feel that we would accomplish more and provide better outcomes to Dell's customers by being in the office 5 days a week.

After 10+ years of caring about my job, terrific reviews, awards and hoping to grow my career further it is freeing to finally not give a flying s@$%. Remote and no office to go to within several hundred miles. So not "unwilling" to become hybrid try... — read more

The layoffs seems to be dragging out in parts rather than a one and done. I'm sure it's due to needing the support during the transition to online.. we move the needle for online and automation and then move the needle on reduction. It's a slow dance... — read more 

From my experience, 9 out of 10 of the remote workers weren't responsive or productive. RTO was a good decision. Time to get back to work and spend less time at home binge watching Netflix and refreshing the X feed at home when you should be... — read more 

I am wondering when bonuses are usually given. And I mean an actual monetary bonus, not some gift card BS. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they DONT give them out this year while simultaneously bragging about record high profits… Because Dell. If... — read more 

Remember how many people were so happy to leave their jobs for something "better?" How many of them do you think are now regretting that decision? I know people who left Dell who would give anything in return. I know this is not the best place to... — read more 

Anyone know when specifically the March exercise is to select remote or hybrid? They don’t give a date.

Got wfr on a Monday and my last day on a Friday! Isn’t that odd? What Happened to 2 weeks notice?!?!

Yoga pants and flip-flops, or business casual?

I am stressed, feel tired all the time, and have lost all my motivation. Everyone in my immediate surroundings feels the same. I drag myself to work, then I am constantly switching between panicking about being laid off, and being numb and incapable... — read more

Just bumped into someone in Dell mentioned a rumor a Dell reducing its layoff package. Any thoughts?

Been through both styles of RIFs. The smaller but frequent cuts are worse than the large ones. I understand that the aim is to avoid COMMs concerns, however the prolonged worry and uncertainty pushed on staff likely causes more disruption and... — read more

I'm staying remote but I'm actively looking for another opportunity. This heavy handed and poorly executed directive is my last straw. The lack of raises and lack of corporate vision has lead me to want to go elsewhere.

If I am not on a chopping block now, I will be soon. I’ll just stick strictly to completing what I am supposed to do per my job description, and put all my energy into looking for a new job. I wouldn’t even mind being paid less, for as long as I am... — read more 

Two more rounds of layoffs just like HPE is expecting. HPE is using a similar management consulting firm with same strategies. A bonus restructre is also in the works.

Are we losing our bonus if remote?

I know many are advocating for quiet quitting, but few also warn you that it can lead to quiet firing instead of layoffs. And there's a huge difference between being fired with nothing to show for it and being laid off and receiving a severance... — read more 

Just curious if anyone has hears or knows if employees in rotational programs are also added to the usual rounds of layoffs. Any thoughts?

I was in a meeting I wasn't meant to be with SVPs and it was disclosed that those who go remote will get dramatically reduced bonuses from this year forward. Don't go remote.

Are there more layoffs coming? It would be nice to know. What are the Dell staff hearing? Share your thoughts and opinions.
