I was contacted on LI from a large law firm about a developing case against Dell. I think I know who referred them to me, but wondering if anyone else has been contacted? I did talk with them and sounds like they have a big group of people already... — read more

To all the ODW CSG guinea pigs in English-speaking countries
I assume that the "bumpy" introduction of ODW CSG has been negatively impacting your target achievement in Q3. Said that, is there any output from management in your countries on how your are compensated for that disaster ?
What is their “plan”?
What do you think the grand plan is? Do they go even more lean once ODW is launched? Does SalesChat replace sales? Seems to be happening with Services AI bot. What does the future look like for sales? IT? Support? Product Groups? Engineers?... — read more
Worried about AI
I honestly believe that the AI bubble is guaranteed to burst in the next year or two, so our increased reliance on and investment in AI is incredibly scary to me. We'll be the ones to pay when the chickens come home to roost, not the people at the... — read more
Did you know what the E stands for in Dell?
Ethics, that is why it is crooked
PPDM is horrible
That's my opinion and that's the entire post.
Is Dell NGSA, especially in EMEA a good place to work for?
I am currently interviewing for an Associate Inside Sales Rep role in EMEA and I would like to get some feedback on how the promotion path is, how the culture, salary, benefits, etc. are. Thank you very much!
Dell IT Titles (I7, I8, I9)

Is it possible for Dell to be any dummber...
...when it comes to software development? Engineers may not like it but prove me wrong. Look at the piling graveyard of failed projects and failed products. Is there anyone at Dell who knows how to program?
Got Dell's free book but, they cancelled the free T-shirt!
I actually don't have a single dell shirt after 7 years and while many here hate the company, I have my complaints but do enjoy my job and am proud to work where I do. A month or so ago, we were given a link to order a "free" dell shirt - which many... — read more
Anyone laid off in Ireland lately?
What's the package
Lots of posts deleted
Boy, Dell must really be getting their feelings hurt, especially JC. Lots of posts deleted in the past week.
Here's a tip for everyone that think you might get laid off
Did you ever stop to reflect on your wins? Did you collect the data somewhere? If not, do it and make sure you have it stored away somewhere you can access it even if you leave the company. I'm applying for jobs and if there's one thing I wish I... — read more

Anybody know if RTO is ACTUALLY being tracked anymore?
I feel like this was one of those things in which dell implemented, went hardcore on for a year or so to scare and instill fear into people to go to the office, then quit tracking. There is zero reason as to why they would actually TELL us they... — read more
New to sales
How can we see quota (SCORE is down!!!???)
Cut the fat, not the muscle
Dell has plenty of people who don't contribute and layers of useless management. So many of them in all orgs. Get rid of them first. That would be the right move nobody would complain about. But we know that's not how it works. They always cut the... — read more
So what is the status of PPDM and CR?
Are they both dead? Are they in maintenance mode? We have customers who have been waiting for promised features for over 3-4 years, as well as numerous bug fixes. I heard most of the teams were let go. Customers are furious!
Let's be honest about Dell
Dell is a terrible place to work. There's no debating that. It's a terrible company. Dell's leadership teams (DRs, VPs, SVPs) are some of the most incompetent, inept dohlts in the industry. That's not trolling or sour grapes, that's just the hard... — read more

Take advantage of the free training

Is the SI Factory rename coming?
How far will the grifting go?!?
Every Sunday the same thing
I wake up with a raging headache, already stressing over Monday. This place has a hold of me even on weekends. And please don't tell me I should just leave. I know that. I've been trying to for over a year. The jobs are simply not there.
