Those in the know, know there are multiple cases of employee fraud. Even those that are known. Imagine those that are not yet known. This is an utter and abject failure of internal controls. Which is inevitable when all the good people have either... — read more
Shenanigans
There's something brewing. There are tons of hidden tax risks that are deliberately covered up. You know how "tax avoidance" is illegal but "tax planning" isn't? Well, Dell is stretching the credulity of the latter. In addition, with the global tax... — read more
RTO takes money out of local micro economies
Dell’s RTO mandate could be seen as pulling money out of hundreds of local micro-economies across the country while increasing employees’ commuting costs, time away from family, and daily stress. That’s a lose-lose for both workers and... — read more
10-k filing is out 108k employees as of January
As of January 31, 2025, we had approximately 108,000 employees. Throughout Fiscal 2025, we remained committed to disciplined cost management in coordination with our ongoing business modernization initiatives and continued to take certain measures to... — read more
Management- Don’t Get complacent
I’ve stopped complaining about RTO. It doesn’t mean I’m happy it means I was just told by a competitor that I can expect an email tonight with an offer letter. Coincidentally, in the past ten days I’ve had three talented coworkers and one manager I... — read more

Dell Services Layoff
Does anyone know if there are major Layoffs for Dell services in April? Don’t even know if April layoff is just a rumor or a thing really happening soon!
I have the opposite problem to most of you
Work has been really, really slow for months. To add insult to injury, now they want me to train new hires to do the same thing. It makes very little sense to me. Feels like I'm setting myself up to be pushed out. I could just be paranoid, but it... — read more
Taking on 2 new roles
With such a thin team, I am now taking on 2 roles due to lack of head count. Same pay of course. Double the work. Collaboration! And we were told another team member will leave in the next season. Squeeze me more please !
When are next layoffs
When is the next cull, next week ?
Is new pay this week?
Or do we get the new pay next paycheck
April , affected ?
Anyone know if engineering will be affected in April ?
For the love of God, lay me off already!
You've proven your point. You've made it a living he-l. I have not returned to office. What the he-l are you waiting for?
What kind of people does Dell really need?
Dell doesn’t need very talented people. They don’t innovate so they don’t need high end engineers and developers. They don’t think outside the box so they don’t need entrepreneurs. They really only need compliant yes-men that are interchangeable... — read more
I'm so tired of losing people
I'm so tired of losing people. Between layoffs, people quitting, and some even being fired recently (for no good reason, from what I could see), we’re down so many people that it’s hard to get anything done. Does nobody here realize that there’s a... — read more
I dread going to work
The chaos of multiple unconnected systems, hard coded excel files, people clueless, and endless things leaders ask at a random whim - everyday I wake up completely dreading the day ahead
Accounting fraud?
Anyone who has seen the unaudited Q4FY25 results would've noticed a retrospective adjustment of $200mil due to vendor rebates that were apparently missed out. An 8K was filed to the SEC with a statement that there were "material internal control... — read more
Wishing for remote WFR at this point
I’ve finally had enough of pointless metrics and being gaslit by management… I know it’s been their goal to make it so painful you want to leave - it’s working. Who here thinks remotes are safe, or is this just the slow march to an eventual WFR... — read more
Anyone else getting laid off the Boeing contract?
I heard it's because Boeing canceled some software contracts due to outsourcing to India.
Dangerous to apply for RTO exception?
Is it a dangerous move to apply for an exception? Will it end up in layoff
Managers leaning on AI for EOY Reviews
Recognition isn’t just about a nicely worded review. It’s about feeling genuinely seen, valued, and rewarded. When it turns into a box-checking exercise, it loses all meaning.

My culture
we do not flush toilet paper. So I have been hoarding them till after and disposing in the trash can near the door. If there are others in the bathroom I leave them unflushed in the stall.
Watch it Dell
Dell is putting policies in place that is building an absolute terrible culture by treating its employees like a$$holes. You are building a workforce that doesn’t respect you, is resentful and spiteful. They’d rather stay and treat you like an... — read more
Innovation is not the problem...
Innovation at Dell is not the problem. Dell was 15th on the list for US patent submissions in 2025, ahead of Microsoft, Amazon, HPE. Dell has many brilliant people in the company, unfortunately not many of them are in senior leadership positions.
Layoffs and RTO are not our only problems
One of the worst things is how overworking gets put on a pedestal until Dell is the only thing left in your life. If you can mold yourself into that routine, great, you’ll fit right in. But if you want anything resembling balance, good luck. It’s... — read more
Cat out of the bag
Look at DELL skyrocket!
I’m not afraid of you
You can’t intimidate me. You can’t play games with me. I’m not going anywhere and I’m going to make your life incredibly difficult. Legally, socially and mentally. I don’t need this job, you need me more. You want to f*ck around with me? Ok... — read more

The Dark Side of Leadership
Micromanagement often arises from a leader’s fear of losing control, a lack of trust in their team, or even personal insecurities about their own abilities. This management style can be a symptom of deeper leadership deficiencies, ultimately stifling... — read more
NDAs signed, what’s coming?
A manager I know said big changes are coming, any ideas? Guessing this will be another August / H2 bloodbath.
Cuts in April to get to a total company number
It's not really a secret in my circle. There will be cuts in April to meet the numbers. Not all orgs are impacted and not all orgs have the same percent or dollar goal but there is most certainly a reduction challenge and it's not going to be the... — read more
NO one to blame but yourself
If you invested 10+ years at Dell you effed yourself.
I wish I wasn't too old to leave
Spending my final years before retirement here is one of the worst options I could have imagined considering the state of things, but I have no choice. I envy those of you who don't have to think about your age when looking for something new. My age... — read more
April cuts small
I have heard 1% cuts with most groups unaffected Anyone hear different ?
Anyone know what happens after your mgr submits an RTO exception for you?
Just curious to know if anyone knows what happens. I know a few people who's manager has submitted exceptions based on distance, medical, or whatever.
Is everyone ready for the April WFR?
It's official and coming to multiple orgs near you. It's a substantial reduction. Don't lose your minds just refresh your resume and be wise with your spending and saving.
Tired of hunting for a seat and working cube!
