Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@k3 yes who cares about ISG and CSG. The company just makes their revenue from those two groups. But who cares right?

They’re not. I’ve heard directors telling direct reports who have personal conflicts making coming into the office a challenge to just show up at minimum 2 days a week.

@k3 sales used to run this sheet now it's finance. Fml

Dude, they can't even track our sales within the quarter or true up commissions payable.
There's no one watching the badge system.

@ba What layoffs though? There have been no "mass" layoffs in over 18 months at this point so any and all layoffs now are just, normal day to day stuff like every corporation does.

Not everybody fkn works in ISG dude... Seems like 90% of the people on here are in ISG, CSG, or Sales with IT people scattered around. Nobody gaf about ISG and CSG. Half of ya'll are incredibly incompentant anyways which is why those groups were always hit so hard lol. Sales people just love to complain.

If MD or JC wrote to me and told me to leave, I’d leave too. I wouldn’t need an RTO for that

I think tactics have changed. I think they are now relying more on attrition. This is why they aren't talking a lot about RTO.

Local Government tax incentives were another reason for RTO. If you can’t prove people are going to the buildings, then tax breaks stop. And property values start dropping more too. Money driven

"Again, IMPO in regards to layoffs, they are going to go after full remotes before anybody else, then underperformers "

You must have missed out on the layoffs going on. More people that are not remote got laid off than who are. The majority of it is performance based and of course what the manager believes in.. There are more people remote in certain areas of ISG than there were 2 years ago as buildings keep getting shut down leaving people without an office to go to.

It depends on whether your site faces a diversity issue. We must ensure history does not repeat itself

They will use it against you if needed. The rules are not consistent across business units.

depends on the group / manager.

You're missing the bigger picture.

RTO was never about returning to the office. It was never about trying to increase productivity. It was never about being together for meetings.

The sole purpose of RTO was to make remotes' lives a living helll (with fear mongering, hot air bluster, threats, hour-long cummutes each way, etc.) to get more people to quit on their own so they didn't have to pay severance. It's straight out of the BAIN consulting playbook.

Problem was, once people realized it was all a bluff (since so many leaders and critical-path employees were still working remote and were not required to "come in to an office" the jig was up.

There is not more reason for Dell to push it. Everyone knows, and Dell knows everyone knows, it was all a campaign to get more people to quit. The campaign over.

Personally, I doubt it really is. They took away visibility to badge swipes to both IC's and leaders after ODW launched - not sure why - and that was back in what, April? I go in about 2-3 days/week and have never been told "you need to go in more" or anything like that... Which I was told last year if I was lacking.

If I had to guess, I probably went in 30% of the time last quarter (2nd Q,) realistically... Again, IMPO in regards to layoffs, they are going to go after full remotes before anybody else, then underperformers and THEN those who aren't going in enough. Which I was told at some point was 45 days/quarter.
