Dell is the biggest offender of age discrimination in the industry. Everyone currently being laid off is over 40. Does anyone know someone currently being laid off who is under 40? I sure don't. Fu-K Dell!!
Su-ks
It really su-ks. All you do all day is lay on the couch watching TV drinking beer. Life is wonderful by the way. Learn to day trade stock options.
Im done over extending myself
Spent a year building something I was proud of. Brought someone in to collaborate, shared everything openly… only to watch it get slightly tweaked and presented as their idea to the team. This isn’t the first time. Just the latest reminder that... — read more
To lift our Spirits
What’s your favorite place to vacation? Your favorite island? Your favorite beach? If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go?
Sigh of relief
I had a last min 1:1 this morning and was told my last day is Friday. I thought I would be shocked, sad, angry but what I feel most is relief. Waiting for my paperwork - feels surreal.
ISG Needs an En--a
ISG needs a serious en--a, starting with the shitpile of incompetent leadership. I hope this week brings a long-needed cleaning house.
How to flip the script
Here's the thing. Dell isn't going to suddenly start caring about you. Accept that. Then use it. They offer education benefits? Max them out. Training programs? Sign up for every one. Tuition reimbursement? Take every dollar. Upgrade your skills as... — read more
Is PIP turning into the favorite attrition tactic?
Lately I've seen more and more people getting put on PIP, most with zero prior performance issues.
Can somebody please share their experience after quitting?
I've been asking around and stories I've been hearing about messy final paychecks make the exit process sound more stressful than it should be. I'm kind of hoping folks were exaggerating.
Dell Innovation
The only innovation is the ridiculous brand name changes and comp plan changes every quarter it seems
Oracle Files Thousands of H-1B Visa Petitions Amid Mass Layoffs
Tell me again how American companies aren’t laying off American employees and replacing them with cheap foreign H1Bs. https://nationaltoday.com/us/tx/austin/news/2026/04/03/oracle-files-thousands-of-h-1b-visa-petitions-amid-mass-layoffs/

ISG Remotes: 4/6
Not like you were not warned.
Inspireless Awards
Theyre practically non existent these days.....were managers told to no longer give them? The points do add up for some decent things so im sure thats why theyve been mostly taken away now.

Dell not even a good target
Dell is so bad that Iran doesn’t even consider it a tech company worth targeting. HP got name dropped but Dell is nowhere to be found even though it has a significant presence in Israel... — read more
How does promotions work
I noticed most people on my team went up a “level” I got a tiny raise I thought I was performing well, and never had any complaints How does one level to another level promos work at Dell
New MB Leader
This guy can go back to wherever he came from. These new policies are id--tic.
RTO - Does anybody actually stay for more than a few hours?
ALL they care about are badge swipes. That's it. Swipe your badge and you get a gold star for "going to the office." But does anyone ACTUALLY stay for a full workday? I mean, I drive an hour to the office and stay for 1.5-2 hours and then go home... — read more
Got an email from our orgs President stating...

Why dont we hire people from here?
Local American professionals are in surplus and jobless but we are paying more in visa fees instead of hiring people from here. Non-American managers prefer to hire non-American staff working here in the US, where Americans must be considered first... — read more

ISG issues due to legacy EMC management not knowing the infrastructure business.
The server business was always more sticky and now is hugely more strategic than storage. Years of comp plans for lEMC sales focused on pushing unity, powerstore, powermax etc distracted from the real prize of owning the entire data centre. They... — read more
Something going right with AI
Makes me wonder if we shouldn’t replace a lot of C-suite employees with AI. This was in Fortune magazine. https://fortune.com/2026/03/30/dells-cfo-is-using-ai-agents-to-run-his-finance-team-and-has-helped-the-ai-business-go-from-0-to-25-billion/
Dell Derangement Syndrome (DDS)

I'm so tired of all this
Peak combo of constant crises and steady decline, with the daily expectation of joblessness.
Do they even know what it is we do?
It feels like the people making decisions no longer have a clue what our work actually involves. We tell them what's broken and they just ignore it. They acknowledge our concerns and then do absolutely nothing about them. Why should I trust anything... — read more
Pride
I remember when being at Dell felt genuinely prestigious there was energy, momentum, and a strong sense of identity. Lately, it feels different. More like going through the motions than being part of something special.
Raises, promotions and bonus's were BS so might as well...
Milk Dell for money every way you can if they aren't gonna share the wealth of their supposedly "great" 2025 year in which they earned a record breaking 120+ BILLION dollars. Only to turn around and give minimal raises, no promotions and a pathetic... — read more
Bye Lousy Job

Only 1 reason why MD donated money
So he could be part of Trumps AI board. First, he took the knee, which is embarrassing for him and his company. Second, he just reaffirmed he’d do anything for a buck Finally, he showed what a greedy, money grubbing wh--e he is.
Fall of the traditional Dell server
Dell only cares about storage followed by AI servers, nothing else matters. The traditional server business has almost been destroyed and I am guessing that it will soon lose its number one standing in the industry. I am certain that Dell does not... — read more
