What’s Dell going to come up with next to get rid of as many of us as possible, by any means necessary? They keep creating an environment that no one with talent and options would want to stay in. It’s like they’re daring people to leave. So what will it be this time that triggers the next wave of resignations and drives out even more of the best people we have left?

@b8 Nobody is getting 17% payrises, something that high gets flagged in the system automaticalky, and once its flagged it needs senior leadership approval. Stop talking nonsense.
@a8 Jokes on you r floor.
AI (Actual Indians) are replacing you. That’s why we’re still at >105k after like 2 years of major cuts. Mostly Deloitte. Also new college hires who will accept whatever you want to pay them to at least be employed.
AI isn't "taking over" but it is replacing redundant jobs that aren't needed or are easily done via computer/AI. SOMEONE has to still manage the AI. SOMEONE still has to verify the AI is correct/accurate, doing what it's supposed to do, etc...
They have been gutting sales orgs for the last few years because there isn't a need for hundreds (thousands) of sales folk when a customer can simply login to a portal, customize what they want and need, then get an automated quote.
There isn't a need for thousands of HR people when you can basically find anything you need to know on the HR portal. Insurance questions are better suited for UHC folks. 401K? Fidelity - or whoever tf manages it. Hiring/resume screening? Humans haven't been reading resumes for years at this point. HR is an ideal job/org for AI to totally take over in all honesty.
Finance department? AI can literally do ALL of that. Have a handful of "official" approvers and there ya go.
Legal? It's coming and coming in fast. Give AI the documents'/contracts and it can sp-t out everything you need to know in a few minutes and tell you what is missing, legal/not legal, acceptable or not acceptable.
Developers? Watch your back because, it's as simple as asking AI to generate a near perfect code/script in a matter of minutes. - but someone still has to analyze it to make sure it's actually correct.
IT? Being in an IT org, we use AI daily and have been for years. It's great but, it's quite limited in what it can do. AI can't plug cords in, AI can't do a lot of things in the IT world because much of it is so so specific, granualr, and case dependent.
Overall, AI is not "taking over" but it definitely is getting rid of jobs that are straight up not needed. Luckily for most of you, Dell is SUPER SUPER behind in the AI world and have a LOT of catching up to do lmfao.
The next thing is, they will keep on doing what they are doing. Forever getting rid of people then expecting those that are left to pick up the load and pick up the pace while telling you that AI is going to make you more productive. Also, they keep shifting work to people that don't know what they are doing like offshoring. No more phone calls to people that know what they are doing, just emails to email addresses where people have no clue as to how to solve the problem.
They must have a plan but I cannot figure where this all ends.
@b8 you are so "all in" that you spend your time on a site called "thelayoff.com"? Dude, put the pipe down and get back to mopping the floor...
@b8 I read the book, in particular the part about remote work
lol, what a farce.
@a5 I get bigger pay raises than 17% because I am a team member who is invested in the Dell corporate initiatives. Maybe if people worked harder for the cause instead of being bitter and spewing hatred for our execs. Then we'd all win. Reading Michael's book might help some on here. Other should quit as you are poisonous.
Execs in a Coldplay-esque outing.
Perhaps they will institute bathroom schedules? Stalls will open only with a badge swipe. It it’s not your allotted time slot - then too bad. You wait.
@a2 are you the guy who has been getting 17% raises every year?
@a3 if you’re not being sarcastic then please go get help.
I'm all in at Dell and will give my absolute all to the company. Maybe you should all do the same?
The people who are valuable won't leave, there is too much money on the table to walk away.
correct. but that's the thing. it cant afford talent nonetheless
it's dwindling and has no innovation.
