Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

’Tis the season of PIPs

Management knows what’s coming in Q4.

Complete the training. Hit the KPIs. Spend the budget. Build the pipeline. Check every box.

Because the game is already rigged.

The goal isn’t necessarily to offer severance. It’s to build the paper trail, stack the performance issues, and performance-manage employees right out the door.

10, 20, 30+ years of service?

Thanks for your contributions. Now feck off.

No severance. No payout. No real recognition.

Just a carefully documented performance process designed to get you out the door as cheaply as possible.

And then we’re expected to believe that a demoralised, exhausted workforce can somehow deliver record profits.

How does that work?

Su-ks to be in sales!

Try meeting those metrics and going above and beyond, drink that koolaid, su-k up to the bosses, etc... because guess what? THAT is what actually matters. If you are good at your job then you are hitting your metrics+ and if you su-k at it then, you are here making posts.

@fx Interesting argument. You invoke Le Bon to demonstrate the dangers of groupthink, then immediately demonstrate it yourself by reducing an entire profession to a stereotype. Perhaps the internet connection isn't the problem after all.

Le Bon noted that individuality and intellect vanish in groups. Add an internet connection and you get an online forum.. lower the educational requirements enough, and you get a sales team

This is definitely aimed at all the low-performing Core AEs yapping on here 24/7. Look, I get being paranoid about your seat, but at least stand on business if you simply su-k

Sales is painful, but you're literally pulling doctor money to talk to people on teams. Dry your eyes with direct deposit and deal with it
