Modern Seller

People here were saying ISG was supposed to take hits today. What happened?
New SCP … stinker!
Has reality kicked in yet, inflated targets made you feel like your an underachiever therefore your only worth your basic? Myself this qtr I’ve brought in more margin that would cover my salary + commission for the past 20yrs , but yet I’m seeing... — read more

Dell Germany
Hi guys, I’m wondering how is the situation for our German colleagues. I applied for an internal position there. I heard that lot of people left by applying to the last VSP and now many teams are understaffed
The system is rigged
Let me break down why most of the employees are unhappy. First, forced ranking. Everyone is fighting for survival, taking credit for others' work just to avoid a PIP. Second, false ranking. People on the fast track get top ratings even when they... — read more
MD not invited to chyna
Heard he's real buttocks hurt over it. Thought he paid enough to get a tix.
Employee Tracking Software
Based on recent media coverage of Meta tracking laptop activity and taking screenshots to train the AI to replace the people it is tracking, does anyone know of this sort of thing in Dell? Seems our colleagues in Europe can ask under law and be told... — read more

The layoff set me free
When I got the news that I was being laid off a few months ago, I expected to be devastated. Instead, I felt a wave of relief. Dell has been a mess for too long and I hated my job for far too long. I don't know if I got lucky or the job market is not... — read more
What exactly did ODW do?
I'm genuinely curious because my org doesn't really use "tools" that were affected by ODW. At most, it was a cr-ppy replacement to workday at best but, other than that it's business as usual. I'm so confused as to what it actually did I guess?... — read more
This is what they are watching
I am expecting more layoffs. I have no insider info. I feel that they are going to keep pushng in the same direction. This means job cuts. Lookat the stock price. It has gone up several times over since 2023, and guess what else started happening... — read more
Praise be- The dorks in charge are finally throwing in the towel on Activity Sync.
Good riddance to that garbage KPI. Everybody was fudging their numbers anyways. Source: Inside line on a leadership call
Who will most likely be affected in this upcoming layoff wave?
Idk if can be anyone or it’s a specific department or is it random?
Has Anyone Seen WFR After ODW?
Has anyone recently been impacted by WFR? Asking because since the implementation of ODW, it feels like the redundancy efforts may have started. Trying to understand if others are seeing similar developments across teams or locations.
I went from $52k to $84k by switching companies
I have a lot of bad things to say about Dell, but pay is not one of them. What's the biggest jump you've ever gotten?
Layoffs starting May 18th. Watch out!
Whoever said it was the 15th is full of cornfeed lol. The 18th is when it's supposed to go down hard, "apparently." CSG is gonna be hit fairly hard but sales is supposedly on the chopping block
Layoffs starting May 15th
Now that Maverick has launched and it's start of first quarter, I heard from my director that ISG and CSG is supposed to get heavy cuts.
Site visits are no longer visible to you or leaders? WTF does that even mean?
The morning ODW went live, workday was still functional for a few hours... Logged into that and it said that site visit dashboards were being retired. On the official RTO policy page, it states... "bla bla bla fluff... While attendance will not be... — read more
Field Service Engineers
What’s with the multiple FSE job openings currently in the US? Isn’t the plan to fully move to Unisys? Do ye still accept people from outside of the US? Would it be worth a try?
Most of you are embarrassing
I come on the site to see what people are writing and thinking. I think is hilarious how most of you just complain and some of you call MD and JC names and how they are id--ts. You do realize MD created a $100B company and he is one of the richest... — read more
What are the biggest lessons employment has taught you?
Efficient workers got punished with more work. You will never get paid what you’re worth. The exploitative people in charge are paid for their cruelty. People who don’t care are the happiest at their job.
Query on IBP Eligibility for Employees Let Go Mid-Year
Reaching out to those who were impacted by layoffs last year, especially from non-sales roles. I understand that employees who were let go in February received 100% of their IBP, and those impacted around September/October received about 75% of... — read more
Can anyone comment on how much actual Cobra costs are for one and two people?
Just trying to get ducks in a row. If anyone knows what the monthly premiums are, it would be appreciated.
Jeff Clarke is a useless ID1OT!!
Just because you hate someone doesn't mean they live in your head rent free. Jeff Clarke is a proven useless id1ot! It's an acknowledgment of fact, nothing more. More people should acknowledge truth and fact rather than burying it and wondering why... — read more
Channel Layoffs
I was told a couple months ago that I needed to be working/leading all the channel deals in my pipeline which has su-ked with no pay increase. Now I have heard that the channel team is going away from my AE who is usually right. Wonder if I will not... — read more
Where is my money?
I'm salary and normally my check clears in my bank by today but now it's magically not there after ODW went live for HR tools. Where the fu-k is my money?
Dell is what I like to call sh!tty pants
Looks good on the outside but at its core, just rotten. Very polished, good story. When you look under the hood it’s a vile, rotten place filled with rotten SVPs and executives who all have sh!t in their pants. They need to be able to make great... — read more
2.5 years and an NDA to come up with an Out of the Box product called "ODW!" LOLOLOL
FKNG HILARIOUS! The 10s of millions Dell spent on this "ODW" bs and the countless layoffs they did in order to fund it and THIS is what it looks like? My minivvan has a similar interface and that was only 120k. Except it's not leggy af or clunky... — read more
ODW launched - where’s my paycheck?
U.S. usually receives direct deposits Wednesdays… umm what happened? yay ODW lol did my check go into JC’s account?
Jeff Clarke
this MF landed a package on the backs of Dell employees. He should be fired
And.... I'm back
I've heard there will be 1% layoffs with most groups exempt Anyone hear any different ?
reduce pay, increase KPI
this is the way
ODW is actually hilariously bad
Dell spent all this money, made 30k employees sign on NDA, took 2.5 years to create only to roll out with a literal "out of the box" pre-configured and pre-created web portal that is not even customized for Dell? The entire interface looks like what... — read more
for those that have reorg announced today , do you know what’s causing it?
for those that have reorg announced today , do you know what is causing it? seems like people are getting moved to different teams across IT
I’d rather get laid off than be put on a PIP
One of my teammates is on one right now, and he knows he’s as good as gone, with nothing to show for it. At least with a layoff, you get severance.
Holy cr-p ODW su-ks
I should NOT have to watch a video on how to get time off entered. Why the he-l do we only have videos for training??? This is actually dog sh-t
Jeff gets a 130m options payout while sales gets their commission axed for the second half
What the he-l is wrong with these people? Record stock price and then you go in and reduce our commission because of "inflation"? Fu-k off
