I can tell who lies and has lied throughout their lives by their LinkedIn profiles. Anyone who has "25 yrs of management experience" or "proven leader/manager" - I'd bet $25,000 (1k for each year of lying at home, at work, anywhere) that person is the biggest fraud and con artist if suddenly their transgressions were revealed.
40 yrs of experience with cheaters,scammers and the most DISHONEST individuals you'd ever meet = all "managers", managing to just manage
Trust is earned and my manager isn't and earner. .000069

I reckon from Q1FY27 on, the used car situation is going to be a bit of an Italian job
Hard to say at this point.. For the first 6 years it was an easy 10/10. Then they flattened the sr managers and we got some joe shmo director who dgaf about us and he was an easy 1/10. A year later, we get a NEW manager/director whom I am happy about and trust 8/10 so far.
Although, the trick is to impress and brown nose the lead as he is the one reporting up to our director and due to our manager/director not being very involved with us... is vital.
As an adult I learned most people just prefer a convenient lie
I had a manager who said, " I dynamically adjust my presentation on the fly, based on the audience. " In other words lies based on who's in the room. We verified this fact. I have to admire the fact he could keep his lies straight and was never caught. As a kid I learned no matter how painful it's better to tell the truth, then there's only one thing you have to remember.
I trusted all of them. Most of them I trusted to fold like a cheap suit. One I trusted was going to end up as a politician or a used car salesman. I only had 2 that I trusted to do the right thing. Both were let go.
We haven't seen or heard from our manager in over 4 months. How can you trust someone who never shows up to her own group meetings?
Our team got a new manager a couple of months ago and we've barely seen that person. Work harder or leave is the extent of things.
I trust him to push the ethics and compliance and tell dell narative must have something to do with bonus.
People have managers that they talk to? I haven’t talked to mine in two months. And that was for 15 mins.
Looking back at my early days as a junior, I want to apologize for my behavior. Caught in a toxic environment, I failed to maintain professional boundaries and unfortunately let myself get dragged into it. With some distance, I see this clearly now. You can stick your first and last accusations where the sun don't shine.
What do you mean by TRUST? Trust their competence? Trust them to not talk behind others backs? Trust them to fight for and protect their team?
Negative 10
Negative 1,000,000,000. Dell has no manager I would trust.
I would trust my manager just as much as the works council
I don't know what you mean, but is this the same story as when you kicked the Black kid out? A sad construct
I'm lucky as I have a very good Manager. As helpful as one can be under the circumstances. Constantly helping me to fix broken processes and navigate forward.
I've had a sh1t one in the past. You could tell this person had their favorites. Telling one side of the house to just do it and stop complaining while telling their favorites, you aren't responsible and do your best. You think we aren't talking to each other?LMAO
@az "The snake is shedding its skin"... I remember. kizzz azz

Smooth talking 🐍 snake.
Just read through the report. In some countries, exactly the opposite happens. Not sure what you're looking at in those meetings.
0% the VP of software intimidates everyone. We had a few meetings where we were told not to mention any issues with the AI product we are working with. All the products are in such a horrible state. He prefers indians to the point allot of us suspect he's trying to push out american workers
There's a famous book by Machiavelli which says that a state should be built around its citizens (to keep it stable). The problem, however, is that if everyone is equally bad, the whole construct stagnates...historically, much like the Habsburgs. I won't say any more than that.
I had so many managers at Dell. Not sure why they rotate so often. Had a fantastic manager for a few years that the whole team respected and loved. He was what anyone would want in a manger. He retired, we were all happy for him. The replacement was a person that had no experience with what we did, was a favorite of one of the higher ups. Was obviously there as a stepping stone, didn't care about the group, cared about spreadsheets being filled out before any deadline and harped on 100% Tell Dell participation. Doubt he could fill in for any member if needed. He quickly lost the respect of the group but I'm sure shined in the eyes of his manager
