Long Live the Queen
Eight hours in the office? Try 10 to 12 once you tack on the commute. Feeling the pressure yet? Traffic’s turning savage, every morning we funnel into the Dell parking lot like a line of German ants hauling offerings to the queen. Efficient, loyal... — read more
Huddling together in the office only leads to a spike in flu cases
Definitely not in collaboration, creativity, or productivity. How could it? I don’t have a single team member sitting with me in the office, nor does anyone else in the space I share.
Either fix this or cut the act and just admit you want us gone
It’s getting obvious at this point - leadership doesn’t have the guts to lay as many people off as they want, so instead they’re making the place unbearable until people walk. The RTO which is completely unnecessary, insane workload, the... — read more

Remotes are next - "Scaremongering" or Fact

Sorry Dell Chat
If you really think it’s ok to take your website down for over month and expect the same users to come back when it’s back online then you are nuts. Imagine of Google took their website down for a month while giving vague comments to users. .. — read more

You know who you are
I find it ironic how some of you come on here loudly toting the company line, telling people to “just quit” if they don’t like the RTO policy bragging about your work ethic and how you’re going to grind it out. Yet here you are, lurking on a layoff... — read more

The Commute as the New Unpaid Labor
It’s time to rethink the economics of commuting, employees are effectively giving away hours of unpaid labor each week just to show up, with no added compensation or productivity gains to justify it.
Proximity Bias in the Age of Surveillance Tech

Examining how employees are showing up physically to the office but not emotionally or culturally engaging, leading to “ghost culture” for onsite only environments.

Systemic Dysfunction
I work in “finance”. The sheer amount of very poorly designed excel files with hard coded values and missing #ref is atrocious. And I spent 20 hours already trying to figure out some working file of a laid off guy. SAD!
Remote relocation
What's happening with this, is it sales only? Is the relocation voluntary , as in can you just stay remote ?
Tax risks
There are significant tax risks that Dell top management is aware of but chose to cover up. They aren't merely tax planning. Some are downright tax evasion. Some straddle the line between tax evasion and tax avoidance. All are being covered up. Tom... — read more
