They have known there's been an issue with score since last. Year , they're only addressing it now because of missing orders I would bet people are missing anywhere from 5 to 10 + orders for Q2 and smart price revenue versus what score shows does not... — read more
ODW... What exactly is it doing to take jobs away?
I worked on this project, though minimally and am confused as to how it can take jobs away. As far as I can tell it was just a simple replacement of WorkDay. I'm sure there is much more to it but from my eyes, that's all that has happened. A... — read more

A few questions employees may want leadership to address at the next town hall. Add yours below.
ODW - UK, Ireland & Canada (CSG)
As the first full day comes to a close, keen to hear some feedback, positive or negative.
Carnage at PowerMax Hopkinton
I am hearing about many people let go.. How deep were the cuts?
Nothing seems to work properly
I've worked in some difficult places, but Dell has been the most frustrating by far. The management, processes, and supposed performance based pay all fall short.

Workload and Agency Worker Layoffs: What is the Situation at Other Dell Facilities?
Here in Poland, at the Łódź manufacturing facility, the workload has been quite low lately—I would even say there is practically no work, especially on progressive lines and Line L1, where the vast majority of components are routed upstream to... — read more
Who manages this site?
Ever notice how some posts, or entire discussion threads, just randomly disappear? I think it's Dell management (probably JC) who likes to keep tabs on what employees are saying about how shiiity Dell is managed. They delete posts that point to their... — read more

Keeping Dell medical insurance is a great option, but cobra is very expensive. So many suggestions and options out there. If you went with another option, please share.
Is anybody actually landing interviews?
Three months and countless applications submitted and nothing.
Was it a response to NVIDIA not wanting Dell?
The drastic cuts Restructured comp plans Hold-out on commission payouts. Gunning for EPS and headlines. NVIDIA would never move to reduce its revenue-per-head (RPH). Our executives should not be offended. It’s not practical to compare Dell RPH... — read more
AI Doom
Thoughts? It's all over the news. A bit too coincidental for one news to be discussed concurrently on every single MSM outlet. Seriously, like someone flipped a switch, a whistleblower tells us what a dozen folks before him did, and it's the opening... — read more

Three words for Dell Leadership
The Cobra Effect
Bloody or No?
Sooo, was Monday a major layoff day as many suggested...or...was it simply a business as usual day?
Do they care?
The executivs do not care about employees as individuals. Everything happening right now seems focused on reducing the American workforce at every level. All the talk about culture and corp. values feels like fu--ing boxchecking designed to keep... — read more

How bad must the results of Tell Dell be?!?
They aren't even talking about it.
There's a group near the top that seems to have its own little world
They agree with each other, defend each other, and somehow always seem to land on the same side of every decision. If you're outside that group, getting anyone to seriously consider your idea is a different story. I've seen genuinely useful... — read more

How they keep you doubting yourself
I've seen managers slowly chip away at someone's confidence until that person starts believing they can't do better anywhere else. They make the job feel like some privilege you should be grateful for, even when the conditions are terrible... — read more
Pumping the brakes on AI

’Tis the season of PIPs
Management knows what’s coming in Q4. Complete the training. Hit the KPIs. Spend the budget. Build the pipeline. Check every box. Because the game is already rigged. The goal isn’t necessarily to offer severance. It’s to build the paper trail... — read more

Severance Pay
When you are paid out at 2 months plus a week for every year. Is that based on your TTC or just your salary portion?
